Premium Auto-Scale - Does it trigger even though limit is hit for 30 sec?

[Tutu_in_YYC]

Hi,

I am using the Premium Capacity Usage Metric to monitor our activities, and notice that we would hit the CPU limit for a short period of time ( 30 seconds ) once or twice in the week.

We dont have the Auto-scale enable yet, but if we did, would that trigger the auto-scale?

If yes, is there a way to only trigger autoscale if e.g Compute goes over CPU limit for 10mins continuously? The goal is to avoid triggering the auto-scale for 24hrs when it only goes over the CPU limit for a short period of time.

Thank you

By now, there is no option to define thresholds that allow temporal (theoretical) usage of >100% without triggering the Autoscale. You can only define the max. number of v-cores that should be added for 24h.

As soon as the systems recognizes slowdowns, it will add more power.

Thanks! Even though Auto-scale cost is reasonable, if it triggers the auto-scale daily because we exceed the limit for a mere 30 sec, the cost does add up.
