Auto Scalability Feature

[Ravi Kumar]

Would like to find out if Auto Scalability feature for the Virtual Machines is there in the latest version of Proxmox, if a Cluster is formed using Proxmox.

If we want to start something similar to Digital Ocean using Proxmox, is it possible or not

Request you to give the answer or pointers in this direction

There is no auto scaling, this can be implemented through the use of our api.

There is a plugin for WHMCS for that. I have no ideea if and how it works. If there is someone on this forum that is using it, maybe could share some info.

Having some sort of "autoscaling group" functionality would be a great addition to Proxmox.

Of course, to keep the semantics similar to a "cloud platform", what would be useful is to be able to create a VM/LXC from a remote image url.

I have home-grown scripts which download the image from an http server and then do a "qmrestore" locally.

Are there any plans to integrate this functionality of being able to deploy from an "http(s)" source planned?
(where the download and qmrestore equivalent would be done my PVE itself)
