AWS Auto-Scaling Testing

Question

How do I test if my AWS auto scaling is working fine? Any lead to find a way to test this feature through Automation ? My aim is to make load on the servers and check if new AWS instances are spinning up and down as per requirement (through automation). Thanks in advance.

You can use Apache Bench or Apache JMeter to generate load on your website to test scaling.

See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/ab.html and http://jmeter.apache.org/
