ufo scale

Usage

ufo scale SERVICE COUNT

Description

Scale the ECS service.

Ufo provides a command to scale up and down an ECS service quickly. It is a simple wrapper for aws ecs update-service --service xxx ----desired-count xxx. Here’s an example of how you use it:

$ ufo scale 3
Scale demo-web service in development cluster to 3

It is useful to use ufo ps to check the status.

$ ufo ps
=> Service: demo-web
   Service name: development-demo-web-Ecs-7GAUAXH5F56M
   Status: ACTIVE
   Running count: 2
   Desired count: 3
   Launch type: FARGATE
   Task definition: demo-web:85
   Elb: develop-Elb-1M74CLRS2G0Z4-686742146.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

While scaling via this method is quick and convenient the ECS Service AutoScaling that is built into ECS is a much more powerful way to manage scaling your ECS service.
