-When scaling hosting capacity for a Amazon GameLift fleet location, either manually or by auto scaling, consider the location's scaling limits. All fleet locations have a minimum and maximum limit that define the allowed range for the location's capacity. By default, limits on fleet locations have a minimum of 0 instances and a maximum of 1 instance. Before you can scale a fleet location, adjust the limits.

-If you're using auto scaling, the maximum limit allows Amazon GameLift to scale up a fleet location to meet player demand but prevents runaway hosting costs, such as during a DDOS attack. Set up an [Amazon CloudWatch alarm](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/AlarmThatSendsEmail.html) to notify you when capacity approaches the maximum limit, so you can evaluate the situation and manually adjust as needed. (You can also [create a billing alarm](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html) to monitor AWS costs.) The minimum limit is useful to maintain hosting availability, even when player demand is low.
