Scale Infrastructure

Add VMs to your deployment. Scaling

Scale Services

Increase replicas for a service (workload autoscaling handles this automatically, but you can manually adjust).

Scale Database

Resize database resources.

Adjust Worker Count

Scale background workers.

Scale Down

Remove resources when load decreases.

Get Recommendations

Ask Monk for scaling recommendations.

Cost Impact

Estimate cost before scaling. Cost Tracking

What Monk Does

Before scaling:
  • Shows current setup
  • Recommends instance types/sizes
  • Estimates cost impact
  • Asks for confirmation
During scaling:
  • Provisions new resources
  • Deploys containers
  • Updates load balancers
  • Zero downtime

Automatic Workload Scaling

Monk’s algorithmic autoscaler handles container scaling automatically:
  • Scales up when CPU/memory is high
  • Scales down when load decreases
  • No manual intervention needed
You manually scale:
  • Infrastructure (VMs)
  • Databases
  • Service settings
