Diego,

The chef orchestration supports basic elasticity, i.e. scaling up and down on 
manual command.  To scale up or down, just issue another "knife deployment 
resize" command specifying a different size after your deployment has already 
been created.

Clearwater exposes some simple Key Performance Indicators over SNMP - in 
particular CPU usage and latency.

However, the chef orchestration doesn't currently include advanced elasticity, 
in which these Key Performance Indicators are polled and invoke knife to resize 
the deployment (although this shouldn't be hard to build).

I hope that helps, although I'm not sure if that was the answer you were 
looking for.

Matt

Hi Matt,  I am trying to understand how CW provides elasticity. I am generating 
calls with sipp concurrently from several nodes. I expect to see a new set of 
Amazon instances (say bono-2, sprout-2 ... etc) after the traffic (in 
calls/sec) exceeds some value. However, I cannot see this.
Could you point me to some part of the code, or documentation, were elasticity 
is implemented. How/where elasticity is defined? i.e. is there any parameter(s) 
I can setup to instantiate new VMs according to the calls-load, latency or 
failed-calls, etc.

Thanks
Diego
