[proposal] Autoscaling CPU/RAM feature

[Nguyen Anh Tu <ng...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I read about the new feature on 4.2 version: "dynamic scaling of CPU and
RAM" -
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+scaling+of+CPU+and+RAM

I'm wonder why we don't support autoscaling CPU and RAM feature, which acts
like the current autoscaling. Particularly, when deploying VM, users set
memory_static_min and memory_static_max and ACS choose memory_dynamic_min
and memory_dynamic_max, for
example, memory_dynamic_min=memory_dynamic_max=memory_static_min. While
running, if the VM is in pressure, ACS automatically
change memory_dynamic_min, memory_dynamic_max based on pre-defined policy.

At configuration period, users may set these below parameters:

memory_static_min
memory_static_max
duration
quiet time
interval
threshold
....

Any idea?

Cheers,

Hi,
We have cpu and ram overcommit ratios that can be set. Hypervisor does the autoscaling based on contention.
