Request Parameters

up_to* - the amount of resource which cannot be exceeded within 24 hours period; only for autoscale up rules

for_minutes* - the time threshold before scaling will be triggered

trigger_limit* - the amount of the resource usage (%). If this value is reached by the VS for the period specified by the for_minutes parameter, the system will add/remove the amount of units set by the adjust_units parameters.

adjust_units* - the amount of resource units which the system should add/remove if the rule is met

enabled* - set 1 to enable, or 0 to disable

cpu/memory/disk - indicate type of resource for which the autoscaling rule is set
