What it finds

ECS No Autoscaling: one of the ECS checks in the container optimization group. Checks in this group look for: container services that run with no work to do, oversized tasks, or observability settings out of proportion to the cluster.

Why it costs money

Tasks and clusters bill for the vCPU and memory they reserve, whether or not the containers use it.

How it is detected

Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.

Where this check runs

This check ships in the partner build, for consultancies that scan client accounts, and in the paid hosted tiers.
