hi guys,

I am deploying a rails application on ec2 instances, where I want to configure auto scaling to be used with Elastic Load Balancer. On a particular threshold I want to spawn new instance. while configuring trigger for auto scaling group, we have options for CPUUtilization, Network or disk IO; but being a rails application, I will face resource crunch on memory rather than CPU or IO.

Has anyone configured AWS AutoScaling for rails application successfully? What is the preferred way of using AWS with rails?

FYI: I am using passenger as application server.

thanks for your time.
