-In the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling section of the Amazon EC2 console, the **Activity history** for an Auto Scaling group lets you view the current status of a scaling activity that is currently in progress. When the scaling activity is finished, you can see whether it succeeds or not. This is particularly useful when you are creating Auto Scaling groups or you are adding scaling conditions to existing groups.

-When you add a target tracking, step, or simple scaling policy to your Auto Scaling group, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling immediately starts evaluating the policy against the metric. The metric alarm goes to ALARM state when the metric breaches the threshold for a specified number of evaluation periods. This means that a scaling policy could result in a scaling activity soon after it's created. After Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling adjusts the desired capacity in response to a scaling policy, you can verify the scaling activity in your account. If you want to receive email notification from Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling informing you about a scaling activity, follow the instructions in [Amazon SNS notification options for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling](./ec2-auto-scaling-sns-notifications.html).
