Autoscaling

Overview of Autoscaling feature in Stackbill Cloud Management Portal.​

On top of virtualized hardware, StackBill Instances are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs). Each instance you make is a separate server that you may use on its own or as part of a larger cloud-based system.

Autoscaling allows servers to go to sleep during times of low load, saving on electricity costs for companies running their server infrastructure.
