To enable more control over cloud operations, users can create virtual machine action plans to run tasks for virtual machines and Docker workloads. Virtual machine action plans are for both private and public cloud and are an important autoscaling functionality on the platform. A VM can have mutliple action plans

...

Before you create an action plan, first create a virtual machine. To To create an action plan:

1. Open the Control tab of the virtual appliance and click the + button 
2. Enter the action plan details
3. Add actions
   To add an action, click , by clicking the + Add buttonSelect , selecting the action type from the pulldown list Enter and entering the parameters as required

Put the actions in run order using the arrow buttons. Delete actions as required using the trash can button

   1. Maintenance block: You can create one complete maintenance block (start maintenance, action(s), and stop maintenance) and the maintenance block cannot contain any scaling actions
   2. Scale in and/or scale out actions: You can only scale in and/or scale out at the end of the action plan but you can create the scaling action(s) in any order (e.g. scale in first, only scale in)
   3. Email actions: You can perform an email action at any time, including after scaling actions
   4. Platform contstraints: For example, to create an instance, the VM must be deployed and powered off 
   5. Hypervisor constraints: For example, when using hot reconfigure on ESXi, you cannot decrement CPU or RAM 

Put the actions in run order using the arrow buttons. Delete actions as required using the trash can button to the left of the action name.
