Auto Scaling:Data security

Last Updated:Jun 14, 2024

Auto Scaling automatically adjusts resources based on your business workloads and collaborates with other Alibaba Cloud services, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS), to safeguard data from potential security risks in the cloud.

Data encryption

Auto Scaling seamlessly integrates with the data encryption capabilities of ECS or Elastic Container Instance, providing features such as static data encryption and data transmission encryption to ensure the security of your data and prevent potential breaches, theft, and misuse.

Data backup and disaster recovery

Auto Scaling allows you to back up data across multiple zones for disaster recovery. For example, the active zone-redundancy architecture enables deployment across multiple data centers within the same city and facilitates data backup in various active instances. This architecture is designed to ensure high data availability and support disaster recovery, ultimately guaranteeing business continuity and enhancing data security.

Additionally, you can leverage automatic snapshot policies to enable the automatic snapshot feature. This allows for the periodic creation of snapshots for disks to back up data, which is applicable to both system disks and data disks. By using automatic snapshot policies, you can further enhance data security and fault tolerance.
