How-Tos

You can configure VM Auto Scaling via DCD. This feature combines granular configurable options wherein you can create a group and define when the feature must scale in or scale out based on demand. You must also specify the minimum (for scale out) and the maximum (for scale in) number of replicas a group can contain for the replicas to stay within the given threshold.

Configure replicas after configuring thresholds and policies, where you define the settings, network, and storage volumes for the replicas created by the feature. After you define the network, you may add an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to the group.

After successfully creating a group, you can modify its details, delete it, and view its associated servers and list of jobs.
