VM Auto Scaling

IONOS VM Auto Scaling is a cloud computing feature that modifies the number of Virtual Machine (VM) instances in your Virtual Data Center (VDC) automatically based on changes in demand (or the load on your VM).

Note: VM Auto Scaling is currently in the Early Access (EA) phase. We recommend keeping usage and testing to non-production critical applications. For more information, please contact your sales representative or customer support. EA rollout has its limitations. For more information, see limitations.

New data center location: VM Auto Scaling is now available in IONOS Cloud's EN 50600-certified data center in Frankfurt, Germany, enhancing high availability, redundancy, and operational security. You can deploy VM Auto Scaling in the new data center by selecting Germany / Frankfurt am Main (de/fra/2) from the drop-down list in the DCD, or by using the location code de/fra/2 when deploying through the API. For more information, see Release Notes.
