Availability Rules for Environments

Facets provides the ability to set up Availability Rules for your ephemeral environments. Using these rules, you can set up launch/destroy and scale up/scale down rules in your environments.

📘

Availability rules can only be configured if the Environment Type is set as Ephemeral under Advanced Options in Create Environment screen.
Facets recommends setting only development environments as Ephemeral.
