title Scaling notes
Limitation: Abiquo does not clone captured VMs, so you will need to create an instance and recreate the VM from the resulting template to use scaling groups State of base VM: A scaling group with a deployed base VM would be destroyed if the base VM were deleted directly on the hypervisor. In contrast, a scaling group with an undeployed base VM is not vulnerable to interference at the hypervisor level.
