description: ADB-S auto-scaling behavior, timing, and sizing implications.
---
auto_scaling:
ocpu_scaling:
trigger: "CPU demand exceeds current allocation"
max_scale: "3x base OCPUs (up to 128 OCPU maximum)"
ramp_up_time: "2-3 minutes to begin scaling"
ramp_down_time: "After sustained low utilization (5-10 minutes)"
billing: "Only billed during active scaling period, per OCPU per second"
storage_scaling:
trigger: "Storage usage approaches allocated storage"
behavior: "Auto-expands storage allocation"
billing: "Billed for allocated storage"
sizing_recommendations:
base_ocpu_strategy: |
Size base OCPUs for P75 utilization, not average.
Auto-scaling handles P95+ bursts, but the 2-3 minute ramp-up
means very short spikes may complete before scaling activates.
guidelines:
- scenario: "Steady OLTP workload"
base: "P75 utilization"
auto_scale: "Enable, set max to P95 or 2x base"
- scenario: "Highly variable workload (2x+ peak/baseline)"
base: "P50 utilization"
auto_scale: "Enable, set max to 3x base"
- scenario: "Batch processing with known peak times"
base: "Baseline requirement"
auto_scale: "Enable, supplement with scheduled scaling if available"
- scenario: "Dev/test"
base: "1-2 OCPUs"
auto_scale: "Disable to control costs"
connection_impact:
connections_per_ocpu: 300
example: |
Base 8 OCPUs → 2,400 connections
Auto-scale to 16 OCPUs → 4,800 connections
Connection limits scale with OCPUs automatically
performance_during_scaling:
notes:
- "Active sessions are not interrupted during scale-up"
- "New connections get additional capacity immediately"
- "Scale-down uses connection draining — active sessions complete normally"
- "Brief performance dip possible during scaling transition"
gotchas:
- "Short bursts (<3 min) may complete before auto-scaling activates"
- "Very rapid burst from 0 to max can cause connection queuing"
- "Auto-scaling cost can surprise if workload is consistently above base"
- "Monitor auto-scaling events to right-size base OCPUs over time"
