How does it work?

Lucidity AutoScaler is based on an agent-based architecture. A lightweight agent is installed on each of the host instances, which is responsible for monitoring storage metrics and relaying them back to the Lucidity storage service as well as executing scaling commands.

Based on the utilization metrics, it figures out when to perform scaling operations and relays them back to the agent. All interactions with the cloud provider, like attaching and detaching volumes are done by the storage service.
