Resizing Gateway Instances Based on Auto Right-Sizing Recommendations

Aviatrix recommends performing Auto Right-Sizing during gateway maintenance periods.

At any time you can change the instance size of the gateway from Cloud Fabric > Gateways.

When you resize a gateway instance using Auto Right-Sizing, the target size is fixed to match the recommendation, which is based on standard Aviatrix gateway sizing.

You can resize a gateway immediately, or schedule it to be resized during an Auto Right-Sizing maintenance window.

You can select more than one gateway instance and perform a bulk resize. You can view the resize operations on the Monitor > Notifications > Tasks tab.

VPC/VNets are monitored for recommendations unless they are excluded in the Auto Right-Sizing Settings.

After resizing a gateway instance, you can go to the Cloud Fabric > Scaling > Events tab to monitor the status of the recommendation.

See Mapping Aviatrix Standard Gateway Sizes to VM Instance Sizes for details on which gateway instance sizes correspond to Aviatrix standard recommendations.

To resize a gateway instance:

  1. On the Cloud Fabric > Scaling > Auto Right-Sizing tab, do one of the following:

    • Select the Resize Now action if you want to resize the gateway instance immediately.

    • Select the Schedule Resize action if you want to resize the gateway instance at a later time.

  2. If you selected the Resize Now option, click the Resize Now button.

  3. If you selected the Schedule Resize option:

    1. Select a maintenance window to add the resize operation to, or click + Maintenance Window to create a new maintenance window for the resize operation.

      See "Creating an Auto Right-Sizing Maintenance Window" for instructions on creating a maintenance window.

    2. Click the Schedule Resize button.
