India as an 'Electoral Autocracy'

A Swedish research institute the V Dem Institute has said that India is no more "Electoral Democracy", but now India is an "Electoral Autocracy" this is all because of the decline in democratic freedoms to the people of India. The researchers of V Dem Institute said:

"Electoral autocracies continue to be the most common regime type. A major change is that India – formerly the world’s largest democracy with 1.37 billion inhabitants – turned into an electoral autocracy. With this, electoral and closed autocracies are home to 68% of the world’s population. Liberal democracies diminished from 41 countries in 2010 to 32 in 2020, with a population share of only 14%. Electoral democracies account for 60 nations and the remaining 19% of the population."

India, Bias Against Muslims and Minorities

Discriminatory Laws and Policies

Bias investigation

Bias Justice System

In many states, the criminal justice system increasingly reflects the discriminatory views of the BJP, targeting religious and other minorities and critics of the government, and shielding its supporters. Source HRW
The biggest injustice done by the Supreme court of India when Supreme court declared Babri Masjid land to Hindus to build a temple and released all the accused who were directly or indirectly responsible to demolish the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

Empowering Vigilantes

Many Muslims were lynched by Hindu mobs or goons in presence of police. And in almost cases judiciary failed to deliver justice to victim families, and granted bail to accused.

Hate Crime Against Minorities

The Indian authorities must put an end to the alarming rise in speeches calling for violence and hatred against minorities and take concrete measures to counter stereotypes, eradicate discrimination and foster greater equality. pic.twitter.com/4aZQuV2gfO

AWS EC2 Scaling

Scaling in the DevOps term, which means handing the AWS EC2 instance or handling the server at the time of load and low-load. There are various types of scaling in Amazon Web Service EC2, lets discuss one by one.

Scale-in: Scale-in is a term to increase the hardware of the existing machines and creating new machines.
Scale-out: Scale-out is a term to decrease the hardware of existing machines and deleting instances or machines.

What is vertical scaling? 

Increasing and decreasing the hard disk of the existing machine. This will increase the hardware of the machine, e.g. HDD(Hard disk drive), RAM and CPU. In AWS we have various types of instances those types are available with many hardware configurations. to update the EC2 instance type, navigate to below mentioned path.
Action > Instance Setting > Change instance type

To change the EC2 instance type first stop the instance, if that is active and running. Then Goto Action >> Instance type >> change instance type and select the right instance type to which you would like to move. This will change the CPU and RAM of your machine. Changing an instance type from t2-micro to t2-medium will upgrade your EC2 instance with the below hardware configurations. 

T2-micro: (1 CPU, 1GB RAM)

T2-medium: (2 CPU, 4GB RAM)

Changing the instance type will not increase or decrease the HDD size, we need to modify the volume to add or remove the storage. Below are the steps for updating the storage size in AWS machine.

How to change the HDD size in AWS instance?

To update the size of the hard drive attached with your EC2 instance navigate to the following paths.

Elastic block store > Volume > look for the right associated volume > select the volume > click on action > modify volume > change the size accordingly > save the configuration.

What is horizontal scaling? 

Creating and stopping new instances of AWS machines. Autoscaling is also a part of horizontal scaling where we instructed the AWS to automatically create or deactivate instances when needed.

Hope this helps you to understand and clear your doubts about AWS EC2 scaling.
