When you save the scaling group, Abiquo will mark the virtual machine icon with the scaling group symbol and display the scaling group name. If necessary, Abiquo will create clones of the base machine and deploy them in order to reach the minimum size. The number in the bottom right-hand corner of the icon is the number of running virtual machines in the scaling group, including the base machine.
To open the scaling group and check its parameters, click the scaling gruop symbol in the top right-hand corner of the VM icon.
Triggering autoscaling
To trigger autoscaling operations, create an action plan for the virtual machine with the scaling group, and then create triggers to run the action plan. See Manage action plans and triggers. When scaling, the platform will search for a rule that is valid for the specific time range, or for a default rule. It will create or delete/undeploy the number of VMs in the rule, then wait for the cooldown period before accepting another scaling request.
