Hi The plan was to use autoscaling for replacing a node that had failed for some reason, not for scaling it up and down based on load. If a node fails I would like it replaced as soon as possible and without manual intervention.
But perhaps you are right in that I should do this manually until I am more familiar with Riak. / Jonas On 13 sep 2012, at 19:50, Reid Draper <reiddra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jonas, > > I'd be weary of 'autoscaling' a cluster.
