Automatically scale VMs

The platform enables you to automatically scale out (add more VMs) or scale up (add more resources to existing VMs).

To use autoscaling do these steps:

1. Create a base VM, which can be deployed or undeployed
2. Configure the VM and enable metrics
3. Define a scaling group with rules for scaling the VM.
   The checkbox to automatically create a scaling action, will create the following automatically:
   1. Standard alarms and alerts for the selected metrics
   2. Action plans with scaling actions for the VM and triggers for the action plans, which are monitoring alerts
   You can customize the elements the platform creates, or you can create your own configuration.
