My enquiry is that while my cloud system uses autoscaling to handle traffic, I want to trigger a cronjob that runs every 30 minutes that handles the integration with a 3rd party API. Now, my question is, does that cronjob abide by the autoscaling rules or does it run on its own instance.
As an example, let's say I have 4 instances open due to high traffic and the cronjob triggers. Would the cronjob run in all 4 instances of my application ?
Basically what I want to avoid is having 4x the API calls for an integration that does not allow a large number of API calls.
