So that you don\u2019t end up with any unexpected huge bills, limits can be placed on the level to which resources are automatically scaled so that you don\u2019t go over your budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The best thing about auto-scaling from <span id=\"06c6cf22-cd62-4493-848b-451cb1f61978\" class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\">eNlight<\/span> is that all of this is done without the need to reboot the VM so not downtime is ever incurred! The platform is one of the most intelligent around and when it detects that a VM is in need of extra power, more resources will be pulled from the central pool that all VMs in the Cloud take their power from. As auto-scaling responds automatically to demand, you will only be billed for periods of high-usage, as the specifications of your VMs will return to their pre-determined level once the load decreases.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_exactly_scaling_works\"><\/span>How exactly scaling works?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Resources are scaled up and down by <span id=\"dc02bfb0-bed0-4f5a-bc1a-eaa51800b968\" class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\">eNlight<\/span> as a percentage of resource consumption patterns. Scaling is done steadily, but is also fast and effective at the same time, as is the <span id=\"5ea5db50-b011-4db3-8d5a-59df20ef4cb6\" class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\">scaling<\/span> down. As the scaling down is performed, the resources allocated originally are moved off your VMs and allocated elsewhere, often during off-peak hours as this is when demand is going to be at its lowest. This has proven to be popular because it means that businesses using <span id=\"fffa076b-9647-4bf5-8b26-7c6e6b3ddb4e\" class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\">eNlight<\/span> are truly only ever paying for what they are using and ensures that redundant resources aren\u2019t costing them money.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scaling_Storage\"><\/span>Scaling Storage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although disk scaling isn\u2019t available in <span id=\"dcfceec6-78bd-4f48-b961-46ff4fb640d4\" class=\"GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark\">eNlight<\/span> Cloud, but we do offer a feature known as Elastic Storage that means you can add multiple disks to a single VM.
