CloudStack horizontal auto-scaling in CMP — practical architecture considerations and how customers create autoscale configurations.

CloudStack supports horizontal auto-scaling: instead of increasing CPU/RAM on an existing VM (vertical scale), it provisions additional VM instances when defined thresholds are met (CPU, network traffic, custom metrics, and similar).

This page is in progress. Content, create-form fields, and screenshots will be expanded as CMP Autoscale documentation is completed.

Customers can create a My Template from an existing virtual machine’s root volume. This is the main way to build a golden image for Autoscaling and for repeatable app deployments.

VM Autoscale packages define an optional charge for the Auto Scaling engine itself. They are separate from billing for VMs, load balancers, IP addresses, and other resources, which use their own packages.
