Performance Improvement with Gateway Scaling

On the Cloud Fabric > Scaling > Policies tab, click the Policy button and then click +Policy. The Create New Scaling Policy dialog displays.

Enter a name for the scaling policy that clearly describes what the policy will do.

Select Manual Scaling.

Select Spoke VPC/VNets, Transit VPC/VNets or SNAT Enabled VPC/VNets.

In the Monitor VPC/VNets field, enter the name of the VPC/VNet, which displays the matching VPC/VNets that can be assigned to the policy.

Click Select All to select all of the matching VPCs/VNets and assign them to the policy. Or, select the checkbox next to specific VPC/VNets to include them.

Under Trigger Conditions, select ‘Matches all conditions (AND)’ or ‘Matches any condition (OR)’ to determine if all conditions must be met, or if only one of the conditions must be met. The metric chosen must have an average greater than or less than the chosen threshold limit, relative to the Evaluation Period. In either case these conditions must be sustained for the configured Evaluation Period to generate manual scaling recommendations.

Continue adding trigger conditions as needed. You can enter a maximum of five trigger conditions, or five groups that each contain a maximum of five trigger conditions.

In the Evaluation Period field, enter the duration of time (in minutes) where CoPilot evaluates the average of the metric(s) specified to trigger the action of recommending gateway scaling.

In the Recommendation Operation field, select the scaling operation to perform, which is dictated by the VPC/VNet type (Spoke or Transit).

In the Send Notifications To field, select the email address where the notification is sent when the trigger conditions are met. If this field is left blank, you will not receive alerts.

Click Save to save the policy and begin monitoring the selected VPCs/VNets.

After you receive your notification email, go to the Scaling > Recommendations tab to execute the recommendation.

On the Cloud Fabric > Scaling > Policies tab, click +Policy. The Create New Scaling Policy dialog displays.

Enter a name for the policy that clearly describes what the policy will do.

Select the VPCs/VNets to monitor.

Select Automatic Scaling.

Under Ideal Operating Range, select Matches all conditions (AND) or Matches any condition (OR) to determine if all conditions must be met, or if only one of the conditions must be met.

You can enter a maximum of one condition per metric. Available metrics are CPU Used (%) and Memory Used (%).

In the Evaluation Period field, enter the number of minutes during which CoPilot evaluates the average of the metric(s) specified to trigger automatic scaling. When the average metric conditions are outside the ideal operating range, automatic scaling occurs (addition or removal of gateways).

In the Send Notifications To field, select the email address/webhook where the notification is sent when gateway scaling has occurred. If this field is left blank you will not receive alerts.

In the Cool Down Period field, enter the number of minutes that must elapse between consecutive gateway scaling events. Even if the monitored VPCs/VNets fall outside the ideal operating range for the specified Evaluation Period, gateway scaling will not occur again until after the Cool Down Period has elapsed.

Click Save.

On the Cloud Fabric > Scaling > Policies tab, click +Policy. The Create New Scaling Policy dialog displays.

Select the Scheduled Scaling option.

Enter a name for the policy that clearly describes what the policy will do.

In the Scheduled VPC/VNets field, select the VPCs/VNets on which to apply the policy.

Select Scheduled Scaling.

Under Scaling Schedule, select a time to begin scaling out, and a time to begin scaling in.

Select the days when this scheduled scaling will be performed.

In the Send Notifications To field, select the email address/webhook which should receive the notification when the scaling begins and ends.
