Reload the Autoscaling Service using sudo systemctl daemon-reload.
Enable the Autoscaling Service using sudo systemctl enable hps_scaling_service.service.
Start the Autoscaling Service using sudo systemctl start hps_scaling_service.service.
Check the status of the Autoscaling Service using sudo systemctl status hps_scaling_service.service.
