<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/b> Navigate to Auto Scaling<\/b> from the left-side menu. Step 3:<\/b> Click Create Auto Scaling<\/b>. The first step is to define the basic settings for your Auto Scaling Group.<\/p>\n Select the Project<\/b> where the scaling group will be created. Choose the Region\/Zone<\/b> where the instances will be deployed. These settings determine where and how your instances will be managed.<\/p>\n Select an existing network for the Auto Scaling group.<\/p>\n You can choose:<\/p>\n Alternatively, click Create New Network<\/b> to create a new network during deployment. Choose the Load Balancer that will distribute incoming traffic across all instances created by the Auto Scaling group.<\/p>\n The Load Balancer helps improve availability and ensures requests are evenly distributed across instances. Rules define how traffic is distributed from the load balancer to backend instances.<\/p>\n When you click Select Rule<\/b>, you will see available forwarding rules configured for the load balancer. Pick an operating system or application template that will be installed on every new server created by Auto Scaling.<\/p>\n Each instance launched by Auto Scaling will automatically use the selected image.<\/p>\n Choose a compute plan based on CPU, memory, and performance requirements.<\/p>\n This determines the power and cost of each instance created by Auto Scaling. Each plan shows pricing in both monthly and hourly formats.<\/p>\n Choose the storage type and size for the instance.<\/p>\n Disk options define how much storage each VM will have.<\/p>\n Server settings allow you to secure and automate instance configuration. You can configure:<\/p>\n The Capacity Planner controls how Auto Scaling behaves in terms of instance limits and performance timing.<\/p>\n Set the minimum number of instances that must always remain active.<\/p>\n Example: Minimum Instances: 2<\/p>\n Set the maximum number of instances Auto Scaling is allowed to create.<\/p>\n Example: Maximum Instances: 5<\/p>\n Defines the time before a terminated VM is permanently removed.<\/p>\n Example: 300 seconds<\/p>\n This helps prevent accidental permanent deletion.<\/p>\n Defines how often Auto Scaling checks system metrics.<\/p>\n Example: 60 seconds Scale Up Policies define when new instances should be added.<\/p>\n You must add at least one policy. Fields include:<\/p>\n Example behaviour: Scale Down Policies define when instances should be removed to reduce cost.<\/p>\n At least one policy is required.<\/p>\n Fields include:<\/p>\n Example behaviour: Enter a unique name for the Auto Scaling group.<\/p>\n This name helps identify the scaling configuration in your dashboard. Choose the desired Billing Cycle<\/b> for your Auto-scaling. Autoscaling supports hourly and monthly billing cycles. By correctly configuring each field in the Auto Scaling setup, you ensure that your infrastructure automatically adapts to workload changes while maintaining performance, security, and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nConfigure Basic Information<\/b><\/h3>\n
