In such an event, Cloud Manager automatically triggers the autoscaling provisioning process, sends a notification of the autoscaling event, and brings additional capacity online within minutes. The additional capacity is provisioned in the production environment, in the same region(s) and matching the same system specifications as the running Dispatcher/publishing nodes. The autoscaling feature applies only to the Dispatcher/publishing tier and is executed using a horizontal scaling method, with a minimum of one additional segment of a Dispatcher/publishing pair up to a maximum of ten segments.
