AWS Support: ELB Pre-warm questionaire
1. What is the DNS name for the ELB(s) that require manual scaling?
2. Event start date/time - If traffic has already started, is the lack of this prewarm causing impact to a live application?
3. Event end date/time
4. Expected percent of traffic going through the ELB that will be using SSL termination.
5. An approximate percentage increase in traffic, and expected requests/sec that will go through the load balancer
6. If different from current load, what is the average amount of data passing through the ELB per request/response pair?
7. Number of Availability Zones enabled? note that you need to add backends to each AZ for your ELB before submitting this request.
8. Is the back-end currently scaled to the level it will be during the event? - If not, when do you expect to add the required back-end instance count?
9. A description of the traffic pattern you are expecting: - Is this a single increase in traffic that will be sustained afterwards, or will there be periods of inactivity followed by high traffic? If there are periods of inactivity, please describe the pattern (e.g. weekly spikes on Monday) - Large file uploads/downloads?
10. A brief description of your use case. - What is driving this traffic? (e.g. application launch, event driven like marketing/product launch/sale, etc)
11. Are the back-end instances using persistent connections (keep-alive)?
