Introduction

Abiquo 4.0 introduces horizontal autoscaling of virtual machines, where users define a scaling group entity for a base virtual machine. They then create an action plan for the virtual machine with scaling actions, and then create scaling triggers, which are either monitoring alerts for virtual appliances or schedules for planned scaling. When a scaling event is triggered, Abiquo will follow the scaling rules of the scaling group. To scale out, it will clone the base virtual machine and deploy, and to scale in, it will delete or undeploy virtual machines.
