Auto-Scale Up and Down
• Any monitoring metrics
• % CPU
• Response time
• Or others
• Each machine votes
• Set a voting and % that wins
• Not just an average
• So if one machine is torqued or LB is missing one machine or it’s stuck or
app server crashes
• Same picture for scale down
• Min and max
• Time schedule for min and max
Together RightScale and Windows Azure remove the barriers confronting DevOps.RightScale enables dev/test engineers to self-provision entire software stacks, on-demand, by adding automation on top of Azure VM’sWhile IT retains complete control over the configurations that are deployed on Azure, who may access Azure resources, and granular monitoring, alerting and reporting on all activities in the Azure cloud. All of this occurs through the same single pane of glass.RightScale bridges this communications gap by providing a single INPUT form for these diverse technologists to define the specific config inputs required by the developer.
