Terraform to scale VPS servers up and down ?

[joeblew999]

I believe k8 has this per cloud ?

So only way we can do this is with some sort of terraform , to create and delete VPS servers on the fly ?

or am I missing a strategy ?

https://uncloud.run/docs/cli-reference/uc_machine_add can’t add a machine unless it can talk to the Cloud IAAS API ?

Uncloud doesn't automatically handle scaling servers up or down. There are imperative commands uc machine add/rm you can use to try to automate this whatever way you like.

Note that the control machine that runs these commands need to have an SSH connection to one of the cluster machines to be able to communicate with the cluster and to a machine you want to add to the cluster. SSH is the only provisioning way at the moment. If the control machine is not your local machine, you would need to provide it with an uncloud config, see the ~/.config/uncloud/config.yaml locally after creating a cluster:

current_context: default
contexts:
  default:
    connections:
      - ssh: [email protected]
      - ssh: [email protected]
