AWS OpsWorks Supports Custom Auto Scaling and Custom EBS Block Device Settings

You can now scale Amazon EC2 instances managed by AWS OpsWorks using custom CloudWatch alarms, and you can now choose EBS block device settings for your instances.

You can already scale your load-based instances based on CPU utilization, memory utilization, or load. You can now set custom CloudWatch alarms as thresholds for scaling. For example, you can use ‘Disk Reads’ or ‘Network In’ as metrics to scale up or down your load-based instances. See the documentation for more details.

You can now set the EBS block device settings for instances managed by OpsWorks. You can change the size and type of your EBS root volume (e.g., General Purpose (SSD)) as well as attach available ephemeral volumes. See the documentation for more details.
