Dear Umesh As you have mentioned about "automation", is it worth talking about scaling. which the cloud is really meant for. Basically there are 2 types of scaling scale up and scale out ( or horizontal and vertical scaling) . scale up means you are making automatic up and down the vm resources according to the requirement. i.e for example when your machine need extra memory it will attach automatically. In scale up scheme the single machine is scaled. In horizontal scaling -- another instance of same type will be up to balance he load ( as incase of http). Though Cloudstack provides API for scaling, you can write your own autoscaling script. As told by Apache, they may add this in future release.for time being it is supported by Netscaler ( Hardware) provided by Citrix. But there are some third party tools which can do this. you can se "scalr" https://github.com/Scalr/ and http://www.scalr.com/ Cloudmonkey is the commandline interface for CloudStack, it is not a automation tool. But you can use the API acces method used in Cloudmonkey for writting your own plugin for CloudStack
