Abstract: Provided is a method of auto-scaling. A state change event notification related to a computing resource associated with a computer application is received. Immediate parent configuration items (CIs) associated with the computer application in a configuration management database (CMDB are identified. Status of the immediate parent configuration items (CIs) associated with the computer application is determined. Auto-scaling is performed if the status of the immediate parent configuration items (CIs) associated with the computer application is normal.

Abstract: Provided is a method of auto-scaling. A state change event notification related to a computing resource associated with a computer application is received. Immediate parent configuration items (CIs) associated with the computer Application deployment tool. Monitoring tool application in a configuration management database (CMDB are identified. Status of the immediate parent configuration items (CIs) associated with the computer application is determined. Auto-scaling is performed if the status of the immediate parent configuration items (CIs) associated with the Auto-scaling engine Configuration Management computer application is normal.

Abstract: Provided is a method of automatically configuring a virtual router. Upon addition of a new virtual network switch to a host computing system on a network, a network or subnet of the virtual network switch is determined. If the network or subnet is not present in the routing table of a virtual router on the network, routing information related to the virtual network switch is added to the routing table of the virtual router.
