How to Manage Autoscaling Deployments?
a. How to view the list of all Autoscaling Deployments?
To view a list of all autoscaling deployments, follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Login to your account.
Step 2: Navigate to Compute, then Autoscaling, and then click on Deployments. Here, you can view all your deployments.
b. How to create an Autoscaling Deployment?
To create an autoscaling deployment, follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Click on the Create Deployment button.
Step 2: Enter the Deployment Details.
Field
Description
Deployment Name
Enter the name you want to keep for the autoscaling deployment.
Select Template
Select the template you want to attach in the autoscaling deployment.
Template Version
Select which version of the chosen Template should be used for this Deployment.
Step 3: Enter Scaling and Deployment specifications.
Field
Description
Scaling Parameter
Select the parameter from CPU or RAM for scaling up/down according to their usage.
Min Threshold (in 30% - 90%)
Enter the utilization percentage to scale down the autoscaling deployment for the parameter you selected above. Note: The utilization percentage should be in the range of (30% - 90%)
Max Threshold (in 40% - 95%)
Enter the utilization percentage to scale up the autoscaling deployment for the parameter you selected above.
Note: The utilization percentage should be in the range of (40% - 95%)
Cool Down Time (min 60 sec.)
Enter the time in seconds; this is the time period where scaling up/down is restricted, just after the node was scaled up/down.
Capacity Unit
The unit used for measuring deployment capacity. Currently, capacity is measured in nodes.
Max Capacity (Max. 30)
Enter the number of nodes that can be added at max while scaling up the deployment. Note: You cannot add more than 30 nodes.
Desired Capacity
Enter the desired number of nodes for the deployment. This value must be less than or equal to the max capacity.
Nodes Scale Count (Max. 30)
Enter the number of nodes that you want to add/remove while you scale up/down the autoscaling deployment. Note:
a. You cannot add more than 30 nodes.
b. You should also have the quota required for scaling up the deployment.
Step 4: Load Balancer Configuration
In the Load Balancer Details section, configure the load balancer settings for your autoscaling deployment. 1. Toggle Integrate with Load Balancer to Yes to enable load balancer integration for the deployment. 2. Choose whether to use an existing load balancer:
Yes – Select an existing load balancer.
No – Create a new load balancer and configure its settings.
Select the Load Balancer Type:
Application Load Balancer (ALB) – Recommended for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Provides advanced routing and application-level traffic management.
Network Load Balancer (NLB) – Suitable for high-performance workloads, TLS offloading, UDP traffic, and static IP requirements.
Enter a unique Load Balancer Name.
Enable Assign Public IP if the load balancer needs to be accessible from the internet.
Listener Configuration A listener checks for incoming client connection requests and forwards traffic to the appropriate backend pool.
Under Listener Configuration, click Add Listener if you want to configure multiple listeners.
Provide the following details:
Name – Enter a name for the listener.
Protocol – Select the listener protocol (for example, HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, or UDP).
Port – Specify the port on which the listener will accept traffic.
Pool Configuration A pool defines the group of backend instances that receive traffic from the listener.
Under Pool Configuration, click Add Pool to create additional backend pools if required.
Configure the following settings:
Protocol – Select the protocol used for communication with backend instances.
Port – Enter the backend service port.
Algorithm – Select the load-balancing algorithm used to distribute traffic among instances.
Health Monitor Configuration Health monitors periodically check the availability of backend instances and ensure traffic is routed only to healthy resources.
Toggle Enable Health Monitor to Yes.
Under Health Monitor Configuration, click Add Health Monitor if you need multiple health checks.
Configure the following settings:
Protocol – Select the protocol used for health checks.
URL Path – Specify the endpoint to be monitored (for example, / or /health).
HTTP Method – Select the HTTP method used for health checks.
Step 5: Additional Properties
Configure notification settings for the autoscaling deployment.
Under Notification Type, select the preferred notification method. Currently, Email is supported.
In the User Email field, enter the email address(es) that should receive deployment notifications.
To add multiple email addresses, separate them with commas.
Ensure that all entered email addresses are valid.
These email addresses will receive notifications related to the autoscaling deployment and its associated events.
Step 6: Review the deployment details and click on the Create Deployment button.
c. How to delete an Autoscaling Deployment?
To delete an autoscaling deployment, follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Choose the deployment you want to delete, click on Actions, and select Delete Deployment from the drop-down menu.
Step 2: Click on Delete to confirm the deletion.
d. How to view Autoscaling Deployment Overview?
To view an autoscaling deployment overview, follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Choose the deployment for which you want to view the overview, then click Deployment Name.
Step 2: Here, you can view the deployment overview.
