They're both fairly small memory, so they don't have a whole lot of capacity. Instead, what we want to do is we actually want to update our service and add in actual scaling. We're catching metrics already and we'll look at those in a future video, but we can at least start using the data that we're collecting to define how our service is supposed to operate and how it's supposed to scale. So we can skip the upfront replica definition. That's the same, we're not going to change the actual service model. But we do want to configure auto scaling, so what's the minimum number of tasks? Well, I want at least one. You could scale to zero if you wanted to. The desired, well, let's make that a little higher and the maximum, let's make that even…
