具有SQS的AWS自动扩展和CloudWatch

Question

I have an application that performs long running tasks. So it decided to use AWS SQS with Autoscaling policy and CloudWatch.

I read that Amazon SQS queues sends metrics to CloudWatch every five minutes. I known that my single task takes 10 seconds. So one worker can handle 30 tasks for five minutes. I would like that message will live as short as possible in SQS. For example:

• if 30 messages are added to SQS I would like to have one worker,
• if 60 messages are added to SQS I would like to have two workers,
• if 90 messages are added to SQS I would like to have three workers,
• etc.

According to documentation I created a AutoScaling policy (that adds 1 instance) and CloudWatch alarm (that fires this policy if there is more than 30 ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible). So should I add a second ClouldWatch alarm if there are more than 60 messages? And third ClouldWatch alarm if there are more than 90 messages?

否。您的政策将继续重复添加计算机，直到指标降至30以下。
