# Creating an auto-scale group

Create the auto-scale group.

## Steps

1. Use the launch configuration that created in [Creating launch configuration](pingintelligence_creating_launch_configuration.html).

2. **Optional:** Attach the ELB to the auto-scale group that you created in step 1.

3. Configure the following rules for the auto scale group:

   1. To configure the **Increase Group Size** rule, add one instance when the Average CPU utilization is greater than 90% for at least 2 consecutive periods of 5-minutes.

   2. To configure the **Decrease Group Size** rule, remove one instance when the Average CPU utilization is less than 10% for at least two consecutive periods of 5-minutes.

## Next steps

Optionally, you can uninstall the API Security Enforcer (ASE) service installed in [Creating an AMI for ASE](pingintelligence_creating_ami_ase.html) by running the `uninstall_service.sh` command, which results in an output similar to the following:

```
/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin$sudo ./uninstall_service.sh
This script will uninstall ASE service
Do you wish to proceed (y/n)? y
Starting service uninstallation
RHEL 7.6 detected, uninstalling ASE Service..
ase stop/waiting
ASE service successfully uninstalled
