Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for providing auto-scaling in a cluster of device instances. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising updating, using a distributed counter, a metric associated with one or more instances executing a network application; identifying that the metric has exceeded a threshold defined in a scaling policy based on comparing the distributed counter to the scaling policy; identifying a command to execute in response to the metric exceeding the threshold; and executing the command to modify the one or more instances.
