# Auto Scaling Groups
An Auto Scaling group starts by launching enough instances to meet its desired capacity. It maintains this number of instances by performing periodic integrity checks on the instances in the group.
The Auto Scaling group continues to maintain a fixed number of instances even if an instance becomes unhealthy. If an instance becomes unhealthy, the group terminates the unhealthy instance and launches another instance to replace it.
When a Spot Instance is terminated, the autoscaling group try to launch a replacement instance to maintain the desired capacity for the group.
