Auto scaling in amazon ec2

I want to know how auto scaling in amazon ec2 works. I mean lets say I have a huge burst in request then it will automatically launch a new instance. But I initially set up the database and server code in the first instance. So, how does it go to the next instance. Further, if we get a request, how will it be distributed to the new instance. I want to know about this. I have the database in the first instance. Will it be replicated in all of them so that the same information is sent to the users.

To enable auto scaling you need to understand the concept of spot fleets and spot request. Then create a load balancer and a security group.

Once you have understand these terms you can configure / implement procedure for auto scaling.

Your database server should not be load balanced or auto-scaled, unless the data on it never changes. Load balancing and auto-scaling work best when used as web/app servers that can communicate to a single DB back-end instance.
