Scale Policy Management


NOTES ON SCALE POLICIES:

  • The scale policy v3 ensures that if you have nodes across multiple regions, the stream manager will scale up and down to maintain viable nodes in each designated region.
  • The policy supports two optional attributes per role target - scaleInWaitTime & scaleOutWaitTime. These parameters denote delayed scale-in/scale-out time in milliseconds. The attributes require positive values (>=0). If the attribute is omitted, the value defaults to 0.

Create Scale Policy

Description

Create a new scale policy. Note: if you intend to use the Autoscaling Tier 2 functionality, you need a minimum of two each origin, edge and relay nodes per group. If you are also using the Adaptive Bitrate Susbcriber or VP8 Transcode functionality, then you would need at least two transcode nodes per group.
