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.
