The Application Autoscaler provides the capability to adjust the computation resources for Cloud Foundry applications through
- dynamic scaling based on application performance metrics
- dynamic scaling based on custom metrics
- scheduled scaling based on time
- Docker to spin up the required databases
- devbox to start a shell with all required tools (see devbox.json)
- A clone of cloudfoundry/app-autoscaler-env-bbl-state next to the clone of this repo in order to access dev-systems
- direnv to automatically spin up the devbox shell before running the make targets (see .envrc)

Refer to user guide for the details of how to use the Auto-Scaler service, including policy definition, supported metrics, public API specification and command line tool.
The app-autoscaler provides a number of health endpoints that are available externally that can be used to check the state of each component. Each health endpoint is protected with basic auth (apart from the api server), the usernames are listed in the table below, but the passwords are available in credhub.
| Component | Health URL | Username | Password Key |
|---|---|---|---|
| eventgenerator | https://autoscaler-eventgenerator.((system_domain))/health | eventgenerator | /autoscaler_eventgenerator_health_password |
| metricsforwarder | https://autoscaler-metricsforwarder.((system_domain))/health | metricsforwarder | /autoscaler_metricsforwarder_health_password |
| scalingengine | https://autoscaler-scalingengine.((system_domain))/health | scalingengine | /autoscaler_scalingengine_health_password |
| operator | https://autoscaler-operator.((system_domain))/health | operator | /autoscaler_operator_health_password |
| scheduler | https://autoscaler-scheduler.((system_domain))/health | scheduler | /autoscaler_scheduler_health_password |
These endpoints can be disabled by using the ops
