AWS autoscaling is service that can be used to scale applications based on different metrics, one being CPU load and another is ELB traffic. I'm sure there is probably more options but the idea is it scales up and down depending on the policies put in place. It'll launch either VMs or containers, which is really how you design the autoscaling configuration.
