Can someone please confirm if Autoscaling supports RDS instances
Thanks in advance.
The zoom you describe is vertical zoom, that is, the class or type of the upgraded instance. Normally, automatic Scaling is used to scale horizontally: add more instances. RDS supports neither horizontal nor vertical automatic scaling, but it supports manual horizontal scaling (by adding read-only replicas) and manual vertical scaling (by upgrading/downgrading existing instances).
Due to the heavy load, one of my RDS instances sometimes consumes high CPU. At that time, we need to upgrade the instance manually. So I think using RDS’s auto-scaling function to automatically I added an instance, but didn’t get any details about it.

No, it is not.
The zoom you describe is vertical zoom, that is, the class or type of the upgraded instance. Normally, automatic zoom is used for horizontal expansion: add more Multi-instance.
