Deploying the Autoscaling Service

Once you have configured the Autoscaling Service for the cluster type(s) to which you want to submit jobs, you can deploy it as follows:

  1. Go to the folder containing the rep-scaling-service executable.

  2. Issue the run command. For example:

    rep-scaling-service-default run

The autoscaler registers with the Resource Management Service and is able to pull work from the Job Management Service. It will also re-register with the Resource Management Service periodically to pick up any configuration changes.

When you launch the Ansys HPC Job Manager web app, the autoscaling cluster is listed as a compute resource on the Resources page. For example:

To view or edit its properties, see Editing Autoscaling Cluster Properties.
