About Auto Right-Sizing
The Aviatrix Auto Right-Sizing feature provides you with gateway sizing recommendations, based on Aviatrix standard gateway sizing. You can implement the resizing recommendations right away, or obtain the necessary approval from your management and then resize. Remember that not all gateways need resizing; you can ignore or dimiss any recommended auto right-sizing recommendations.
In CoPilot 4.15 only AWS and Azure gateway instances will generate recommendations.
| You should perform auto right-sizing during gateway maintenance periods. Any user can act on the provided recommendations. |
The network will reach 'steady state' over time, as you implement the provided recommendations.
|
If you configured the Gateway Scaling feature prior to CoPilot 4.15, the Policies, Recommendations, and Events tabs for that feature will show 'Legacy'. Aviatrix recommends using the Auto Right-Sizing feature for your gateway scaling needs. At this time Auto Right-Sizing only suggests modifying existing gateway sizes, not adding or removing gateway instances. Scheduled scaling is not yet available as part of Auto Right-Sizing. Continue using the Gateway Scaling feature if you need to schedule gateway resizing or want to add new gateway instances when scaling up. |
The Auto Right-Sizing tab displays gateway instances for which auto right-sizing is recommended. This list gets updated every monitoring period. Recommendations that have been implemented are removed from the tab during this update. Recommendations advising against changing the gateway instance size are not included. Each gateway instance is limited to one recommendation per monitoring period.
Configure the monitoring period and any excluded VPC/VNets in Auto Right-Sizing Settings before performing resize actions.
If there are no active recommendations, a message to this effect is displayed on the tab, along with when the next monitoring period scan will begin.
Viewing Auto Right-Sizing Recommendation Details
Clicking a gateway instance on the Auto Right-Sizing tab shows its details.
From here you can:
-
View the network and system metrics for that gateway instance.
-
View gateway instance performance.
Click View Performance to go to the Monitor > Performance tab. The following items will be pre-selected: gateway instances; observation period from the recommendation details; and the network/system metrics from the recommendation details. You can modify any of these pre-selections.
-
Dismiss the recommendation.
-
Ignore recommendations from the selected VPC/VNet.
