Create a scaling group
Abiquo supports horizontal autoscaling with virtual machine scaling groups.
...
When Abiquo creates a scaling group, the virtual machine icon changes to display the scaling group name, the scaling group button, the maintenance button, and the number of running machines in the group.
Create triggers for autoscaling
To trigger autoscaling operations, you will need to create an action plan for the virtual machine with the autoscaling group, and then create triggers to run the action plan. Example of triggers are virtual appliance alerts or action plan schedules.
