# Modify a VM Auto Scaling Group

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

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
