In the admin console, I adjusted the max idle instance = 1. This seems to help my application. When there is no/less traffic, the instances are shutdown properly.
Before, my appid idle instances setting was '1- automatic'. This setting was not shutting down the instances when there is no traffic. Now, with the above setting, my cost is much more under control. -Aswath On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 8:42 AM, Damith C Rajapakse <[email protected]>wrote: > Since a couple of days, I noticed that extra instances started to serve a > spike in requests do not shut down as expected after the spike is over. > This is causing us to incur extra instance hour charges.
