Auto Scaling for Compute or Instances?
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/11/html/auto_scaling_for_compute/configure_auto_scaling_for_compute#test_automatic_scaling_up_instances
Reading the title, it would make it seem to me that this would be able scaling up the underlying Compute instances via Director.
Inside of the document it seems to be about autoscaling instances using HEAT, not about scaling up Compute. This is very valuable, but the title is misleading to me. Can the title be changed to something like "Auto Scaling Instances using HEAT"?

Hi John,
The term "Instances" is something that has always been referred to in Overcloud - which is equivalent to VM's on any virtualization platforms, hence the title.
Wheras the hypervisors are (were) always referred to as Compute "nodes".
And the scaleout of Compute nodes is something that is not part of our documentation.
If you would like to see this in the documentation - You can file a Request for Enhancement at bugzilla.redhat.com
Hope that answers your query.
