@Célio Garcia, the instances are not in an ASG by default. You can place them in an ASG, but the parameters that an ASG can use to scale are limited and not necessarily the parameters that you want to use (e.g. you may want to scale on number of connections or GPU usage). You can always post a message in the following forums if you want help from a professional on building a scalable platform: [https://www.wowza.com/community/spaces/26/find-a-consultant.html](https://www.wowza.com/community/spaces/26/find-a-consultant.html) ---

Probably best to contact [support@wowza.com;](mailto:support@wowza.com;) you should only get 1 instance. ---

Hi @Karel Boek-Senior Consultant, Thanks for reply. So, why are selected about 27 different instances? Is this something like a recomendations to use for? ---
