You do remember my video with the topic „Generate VMs based on actual load in a Resource Pool” (http://www.vcoportal.de/2012/11/generate-vms-based-on-actual-load-in-a-resource-pool/)?
In that video I showed a vCO workflow which provisioned new VMs when the load on a specific Resource Pools reached a defined Value. When the load was decreased, the VMs were thrown away. In this video, I worked on a simple vCenter Server base. A colleague of mine, Carsten Schäfer, took my Workflow and modified it to work with vCAC. They changed the workflow so, that virtual machines will not provisioned as a “Single” VM, instead he used the add components function to deploy them to an existing Multi-Machine Service.
Oh yeah, one might call it some first PoC for auto-scaling in vCAC (yep, that’s just for the robots 
)
Here is the video:

Hey Chris,
It is pretty interesting and very innovative making me eager to ask you for the workflow … please share the workflow so i can also give it a try in my Lab.
thanks
Hi Mohit,
we will give the workflow to the people who ask. The only requirement is, that we would like to ask for a donation for a nonprofit organization like:
Unicef (http://www.unicef.de/)
Seashepherd (http://www.seashepherd.org/)
Wikileaks (http://wikileaks.org/)
or any other organization of your choice. The amount you will spend is your decision. We will not give professional service or support for the Workflow, but I have a question feel free to ask. We try to give you as much help we can!
If you are fine with these regulations just send a screen-shot of your donation and you will get the Workflow.
Please be aware, that the “Workflow” considers out of different things. There is a vCO Workflow an API Helper and a vCAC Workflow which requires the vCAC CDK.
Regards
Christian
