- Create and configure a base virtual machine. When a scaling event is triggered, Abiquo will clone this virtual machine according to your scaling rules. The base virtual machine can be deployed or undeployed, as appropriate
- Abiquo may undeploy the base machine but it will not delete it
To create a scaling group:
...
When a virtual machine is part of a scaling group, Abiquo does not allow you to perform deploy or configuration operations on the virtual machine, unless you put the scaling group into maintenance mode. Maintenance mode temporarily disables autoscaling and enables you to make changes to your virtual machines, for example, to manually deploy or undeploy machines, or to edit the scaling group itself.
Note that in maintenance mode you can undeploy the master base virtual machine but you cannot delete it; to delete the base virtual machine, you will need to delete the scaling group.
When you leave maintenance mode, Abiquo will apply your modifications to the scaling group, e.g. added adding new rules. Then Abiquo will adjust the number of virtual machines in the group to within the minimum and maximum size range.
...
- Click the "cog" maintenance button
- Trigger an action plan with the action "Scaling group: start maintenance mode"
To You can now make changes to the scaling group:
- Open the scaling group
- Edit the scaling group, e.g. add new rules
- Reconfigure, deploy or undeploy the base machine or clone machines
- Delete clone machines
Remember that when you stop leave maintenance mode, Abiquo will adjust the number of virtual machines in the scaling group to within the maximum and minimum range, creating and deploying deleting clones or undeploying the base machine, as appropriate.
To leave maintenance mode:
- Click the "cog" maintenance button again
- Trigger an action plan with the action "Scaling group: end maintenance mode".
