==========

Description
-----------
Autoscaling policies define the criteria that trigger autoscaling actions and the actions to take.

An autoscaling policy is part of an autoscaling configuration. For more information, see `Autoscaling <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Compute/Tasks/autoscalinginstancepools.htm>`__.

You can create the following types of autoscaling policies:

  - **Schedule-based:** Autoscaling events take place at the specific times that you schedule.   - **Threshold-based:** An autoscaling action is triggered when a performance metric meets or exceeds a threshold.
