Abiquo horizontal autoscaling lets you configure how workloads are automatically added and removed based on a schedule, or monitoring information from your virtual machines, or application performance management data. You can use any Abiquo virtual machine as the base machine to clone and scale out - and it works on ANY cloud or hypervisor we support! For more information go to http://www.abiquo.com

00:00 - Introduction
00:07 - Lets configure how workloads are automatically added and removed based on a schedule
00:17 - You can use any Abquo virtual machine as the base machine to clone and scale out
00:25 - And Abiquo will create and delete clones as required
00:31 - Abiquo horizontal autoscaling works on any of our supported clouds from VWware, Hyper-V, and KVM to Azure, OpenStack , AWS, and DigitalOcean.
00:47 - So here we have a group of virtual machines, and we've created a base machine, which can be deployed on the hypervisor, or left undeployed.
00:57 - Abiquo does not modify the base machine because it copies the configuration to create the clones
01:00 - So this is a typical application server, with network connections, disks, a firewall, a load balancer,
01:04 - and with monitoring enabled, to gather statistics that can drive scaling actions.
01:11 - All of this configuration will be copied to the cline machines.
01:15 - This alarm in the base machine applies to the whole clone group.
01:18 - It can be triggered by the metrics of the group of clone machines, even if the base machine is not deployed.
01:26 - So let's create a scaling group.
01:29 - First we set a default cooldown period between scaling operations.
01:34 - Abiquo starts counting down from when a scaling operation begins,
01:39 - and it won't start another scaling operation until after the cooldown ends.
01:43 - Then we define the minimum and maximum running workloads, which are deployed and powered on.
01:49 - But of course, Abiquo won't let you exceed your cirtual resurce limits.
01:53 - Then we create scaling rules, with the number of workloads to add or remove in a scaling operation.
02:00 - You can also enter the time period in which each rule will be valid.
02:03 - Here we have created the two default rules with no specific time periods.
02:08 - When we add the scaling group, Abiquo will clone and deploy virtual machines to reach the minimum number of running workloads as defined in the scaling group.
02:19 - The to set up autoscaling, we go to the control section and create an action plan with scaling actions, for example a scale out action.
02:28 - The we create a trigger whic will automatically run the scaling on monitoring alerts and/or schedules.
02:36 - So now let's manually trigger scaling and go back to the virtual machines.
02:43 - So when we open the scaling group, we can see taht Abiquo scaled out by creating two new virtual machines, without deploying the base VM, which is still undeployed,
02:53 - So now let's put the scaling group into maintenance mode, which will temporarily diseable autoscaling.
02.58 - Here we can make changes to the scaling group and the virtual machines.
03.01 - So let's look at the cloned workload.
03.04 - To create this clone, Abiquo made a new copy of the template and configured the same CPU and RAM.
03.09 - Then Abiquo copied the other configutaion and attached, for example, the same load balancer.
03.15 - Abiquo does not create alarms in the clone, because alarms belong to he base machine.
03.20 - When Abiquo scales in, by default it will delete the oldest clones in each scaling operation.
03.27 - You can delete a scaling group from maintenance mode.
03.31 - In this case, Abiquo will simply move the workloads to the cirtual appliance, where they will continue to run and you can mange them just like any other Abiquo virtual machines.

#AWS #Autoscaling #Abiquo

This video takes you through the main points of the Abiquo user interface, showing you the key features of how the Abiquo hybrid cloud platform can help you and your users to manage all their cloud resources. This video shows us managing Microsoft Azure resources, but Abiquo also lets you manage your private clouds, other public clouds such as AWS, and even Docker hosts!

This video demonstrates the new virtual machine monitoring feature in the Abiquo cloud management platform. It's shown using VMs in Amazon Web Services, but it also can monitor machines in ESX and KVM, and will graph statistics from any source if fed data via a REST API call. For more information visit http://www.abiquo.com

Use Abiquo Action Plans to automate actions on your virtual machines including vertical and horizontal scaling, deploy, power operations, undeploy, copying disks to create a template, and sending emails. You can trigger action plans on schedule and using virtual machine metrics and APM data.

00:00 - Introduction
00:02 - In Abiquo you can automatically manage changes to system load with two types of scaling.
00:11 - When load increases, you can use vertical scaling, to scale up, which will add more CPU and RAM to a virtual machine.
00:19 - Or you can use horizontal scaling to scale out, which will add more clones on the base machine.
00:24 - When load decreases, you can scale in, which will remove clones, or scale down, which will remove CPU and RAM.
00:33 - With Abiquo Action Plans you can automate vertical scaling and horizontal scaling
00:37 - You can also manage the workload life, cycle which deploy power operations and you can copy disks to create a template and send emails.
00:50 - You can trigger action plans based on alert or schedules.
00:56 - An alert is a set of alarms for a group of virtual machines.
00:57 - When all the alarms activate, the alert activates.
01:01 - Each alarm is based on a virtual machine metric or an application performance management metrics.
01:07 - A schedule can be a once-off or repeated action plan, run at selected date and times.
01:17 - So let's take a look at the case of a special offer that will increase traffic to our website every Friday at lunchtime,and whenever groups of users read our mail.
01:26 - So we'll create an action plan that will scale the server up by increasing both CPU and RAM.
01:32 - Of course we can also create an action plan to scale the server down when we no longer need those extra resources.
01:41 - So in Abiquo, here we have a test server with 1 CPU and 64 MB of RAM.
01:45 - We're going to scale it up by adding another CPU and 1 GB of RAM.
01:51 - To use workload monitoring to trigger the action plan, first we need to check that we are fetching metrics for the virtual machine.
01:59 - Then for each of relevant metrics, we will need to create an alarm, and set the conditions that will activate the alarm.
02:07 Then we will need to group our alarmas together in an alert.
02:14 - So here we'll create a CPU alert, and we'll add alarms from our application server and our database server.
02:22 - When all the alarms activate, then the alert will activate.
02:30 - After we save the alert we're going to create the action plan for the selected virtual machine, in this case, our server.
02:38 - For an environment and virtual machine that support hot reconfigure we can create the actions to increase CPU, increase RAM and send us an email to let us know that it's all done.
02:51 - For the email you can enter any address. It doesn't have to be one for an Abiquo user.
03:02 - Now we can create one or more triggers to automatically run the action plans.
03:07 - Or CPU alert can trigger the action plan. And we can create a schedule, for example to run the action plan every Friday at 12:45.
03:23 - Finally we can fix our action plan button, which will immediately run it.
03:32 - Now when we go back to our virtual machine you can see that our action plan has run.
03:37 - When we edit the virtual machine it now has 2 CPUs and 1 extra GB of RAM.
