For eg in response to a saturation in CPU usage of an EC2 instance, a monitoring system like CloudWatch will automatically trigger a creation of a new instance though alarms.
This will ensure that the system's capacity meets changing load demands.

It helps in improving system's stability & efficiency of an Organization.
