To help you detect and address changing demand for resources, the platform's control features include monitoring alerts with notifications, action plans for automation, and autoscaling. These features may depend on the configuration of metrics and alarms, so you may like to set these up first (see VM monitoring and metrics and Manage cloud alarms). To use scaling, you should also define scaling groups for the VMs you want to scale, (see Manage Scaling Groups). The Control view manages Alerts and Action plans.

To use scaling, first define a scaling group, see Manage Scaling Groups

The pages in the Control view section describe how you can use alerts with notifications from alarms across the platform, and action plans for automation of VMs, including vertical and horizontal auto-scaling. |
From the Control view you can monitor, control, and scale groups of VMs in the virtual data center, using alerts with notifications, action plans for automation, and auto-scaling on the hybrid cloud platform.
From Control view you can also manage tags for resource inventories, as well as multicloud budgets, to implement your FinOps system.
