.. This template is intended to encourage a certain level of consistency between different use cases. Adherence to the structure of this template is recommended but not strictly required. This template should be in ReSTructured text. For help with syntax, see . To test out your formatting, see . ======================================= The title of your auto-scaling use case ======================================= .. Please fill in the blanks in this use case statement, or rephrase as appropriate. As a cloud operator, whenever one of my cloud's ____________________, I want ____________________________. Problem description =================== .. A more detailed description of the auto-scaling scenario; however it is not advised to duplicate details covered in the sections below. If the problem is not too complex, it may be more appropriate to simply delete this section and provide the details in the sections below. OpenStack projects used ======================= .. Please provide a list of projects (OpenStack and otherwise) which may be used in order to implement this use case. If no implementation exists yet, suggestions are sufficient here. * ... * ... Inputs and decision-making ========================== .. Describe how decisions about when/how to auto-scale are taken. In particular list any other components or inputs which may provide additional context to help determine the correct action. Auto-scaling ============ .. Describe how the auto-scaling may occur. If there may be different approaches available, please list them all. Existing implementation(s) ========================== .. If there are one or more existing implementations of this use case, please give as many details as possible, in order that operators can re-implement the use case in their own clouds. However any information is better than no information! Linking to external documents is perfectly acceptable. Future work =========== .. Please link from here to any relevant specs. If a cross-project spec is required, it can be placed under ../specs/ in this repository. Please also make sure that any linked specs contain back-links to this use case for maximum discoverability. Dependencies ============ .. - Include specific references to specs and/or blueprints in auto-scaling-sig, or in other projects, that this one either depends on or is related to. - Does this feature require any new library dependencies or code otherwise not included in OpenStack? Or does it depend on a specific version of library?
