What is the difference between target tracking, step, and scheduled scaling?

Target tracking: set a metric and target value, AWS maintains it (thermostat). Simplest, handles most cases. Step: define different actions for different alarm thresholds (add 2 at 60% CPU, add 4 at 80%). More control. Scheduled: increase capacity at specific times for predictable patterns (scale up at 8:45 AM before 9 AM traffic). Combine scheduled + target tracking for best results.
