Dear All,

I'd like to have some confirmation about the mechanism that is going to be used to inform Heat's clients about instance create and destroy in an auto-scaling group. I am referring to the wiki page at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat/AutoScaling.

I assume, but I may be wrong, that the same eventing mechanism than the one being used for stack creation will be used...

An instance create in an auto-scaling group will generate an IN_PROGRESS event for the instance being created followed by CREATE_COMPLETE or CREATE_FAILED based on the value returned by cfn-signal. Similarly, an instance destroy will generate a DELETE_IN_PROGRESS event for the instance being destroyed followed by a DELETE_COMPLETE or DELETE_FAILED in case the instance can't be destroyed in the group.

Adding a group id in the event details will be helpful to figure out what group the instance belongs to.


Hi Patrick,

It is really early in that design phase, but I don't see much changing
in the way servers are created/destroyed. All Heat resources go
through the same life cycle states, so even the policy will have the
same state change events.

I expect the autoscaling policy functonality to get smarter though.
But this is the descision on whether or not to have a scaling event
not how the server is scaled (we could also scale other things besides
servers).

Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Patrick
