A major new capability has landed: AlloyDB read pools can now be configured for autoscaling. The ReadPoolConfig schema gains a new autoScalingConfig property, which references the newly introduced AutoScalingConfig schema. This configuration allows you to define an autoscaling Policy, including maxNodeCount and coolDownPeriodSec, and specify CpuUtilization targets. Furthermore, you can set up detailed schedules using the new Schedule schema, enabling cron-based scaling adjustments with properties like minNodeCount, durationSec, and timeZone. This feature provides powerful tools for managing your AlloyDB read workloads efficiently.
