  7. For Cluster admin password, enter the admin password for the cluster.
  8. For Node type, select the node type.
  9. For Autoscale type, select one of the following:
     • Horizontal: Adds or removes nodes from the cluster.
     • Vertical: Changes the shape of the cluster.
  10. For Trigger type, select one of the following:
      • Metrics: Triggers when a specific performance metric exceeds the threshold.
      • Schedule Triggers at a scheduled time.
  11. For Performance metrics, select CPU utilization or Memory utilization. This field is available only if metrics was previously selected.
  12. For Time zone, select the correct time zone. This field is available only if schedule was previously selected.
  13. For Vertical autoscaling, the following fields might be available depending on what you selected in previous steps. For more information on each field, see Autoscale Configuration Fields.
      • Scale-up rule

      It takes a few minutes for the configuration to take effect. During this time, the cluster is in the Updating state.

      When an autoscale event is triggered, the worker nodes are updated on a rolling basis. One node is updated at a time.

• Use the oci bds auto-scale-config create command and required parameters to create an autoscale configuration.
