title: ufo scale

Ufo provides a command to quickly scale up and down an ECS service. Here's an example of how you use it:

```sh
ufo scale hi-web-stag 3
```

You should get output similiar to below:

```sh
Scale hi-web-stag service in stag cluster to 3
```

While scaling via this method is quick and convenient the [ECS Service AutoScaling](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-auto-scaling.html) that is built into ECS is a much more powerful way to manage scaling your ECS service.
