# GroupPolicyScaleOutAction

Defines the action to be performed when the 'scaleOutThreshold' is exceeded. Here, scaling is always about adding new VMs to this VM Auto Scaling Group.

The value must be between 1 to 10. 'amountType=PERCENTAGE' specifies the percentage value that is applied to the current number of replicas of the VM Auto Scaling Group. The value must be between 1 to 200. At least one VM is always added or removed. Note that for 'SCALE\_IN' operations, volumes are not deleted after the server is deleted.                                                  |                                |

While a scaling action is in progress, no second action is initiated for the same VM Auto Scaling Group. Instead, the metric is re-evaluated after the current scaling action completes (either successfully or with errors). This is currently validated with a minimum value of 2 minutes and a maximum of 24 hours. The default value is 5 minutes if not specified. | \[optional] \[default to '5m'] |
