# Autoscale for E1 Series

E1 Series images **support Auto Scaling** for both Linux and Windows nodes, so you can scale E1-based workloads automatically just like any other scale group. A few behaviors are specific to E1-series group nodes.

---

## Storage Configuration

- The **storage size** of each autoscaled node is **exactly the same** as the source node the image was created from.
- You **cannot change** the storage size of autoscaled E1 nodes — it is inherited from the image.

## IOPS Handling

- Any **extra IOPS** provisioned on the source node (for example, when you availed extra storage) are also **available on the autoscaled nodes**.

## Billing

- Both the autoscaled node(s) and their associated storage are **billed hourly**.

## Other Behavior

- All other Auto Scaling features and configuration — policies, watch periods, cooldown, load-balancer integration, encryption, and the management tabs — work the same as for any scale group.
