# Modify a VM Auto Scaling Group

IONOS CLOUD VM Auto Scaling: modify scaling thresholds, policies, and replica configuration of an existing group

After successfully configuring your VM Auto Scaling Groups, you can modify scaling thresholds and scaling policies, update replica configuration or associate an ALB using the VM Auto Scaling Manager.

To modify the values, follow these steps:

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Network Services** > **Auto Scaling**.

2\. Click on the respective VM Auto Scaling group to modify its values.

3\. You can modify the following:

* click [<mark style="color:blue;">**Autoscaling Setup**</mark>](/cloud/network-services/vm-auto-scaling/how-tos/configure-vm-auto-scaling-group.md) to update the name of the group, modify scaling thresholds and policies.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** You cannot modify a DCD after it is associated with the group.
{% endhint %}

* click [<mark style="color:blue;">**Replica Configuration**</mark>](/cloud/network-services/vm-auto-scaling/how-tos/configure-vm-auto-scaling-replicas.md) to update storage settings, NICs and associated ALBs, or storage volumes.
* click [<mark style="color:blue;">**Servers**</mark>](/cloud/network-services/vm-auto-scaling/how-tos/view-vm-auto-scaling-servers.md) to view the servers that are associated with the group.
* click [<mark style="color:blue;">**Jobs**</mark>](/cloud/network-services/vm-auto-scaling/how-tos/view-vm-auto-scaling-jobs.md) to view the list of tasks.

4\. Click **Save** to save the changes.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/network-services/vm-auto-scaling/how-tos/modify-vm-auto-scaling-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
