A scaling group is monitored by Rackspace Cloud Monitoring. When Monitoring triggers an alarm for high utilization within the Autoscaling group, a webhook is triggered. The webhook calls the auto scale service, which consults a policy in accordance with the webhook. The policy determines how many additional Cloud Servers should be added or removed in accordance with the alarm.

#Cloud Queues (queues)
This document explains how to get started using queues with Fog. It assumes you have read the [Getting Started with Fog and the Rackspace Open Cloud](getting_started.md) document.
## Basic Concepts
Queues is an open source, scalable, and highly available message and notifications service, based on the OpenStack Marconi project. Users of this service can create and manage a producer-consumer or a publisher-subscriber model. Unlimited queues and messages give users the flexibility they need to create powerful web applications in the cloud.
Cloud Queues is an open source, scalable, and highly available message and notifications service, based on the OpenStack Marconi project. Users of this service can create and manage a producer-consumer or a publisher-subscriber model. Unlimited queues and messages give users the flexibility they need to create powerful web applications in the cloud.
It consists of a few basic components: queues, messages, claims, and statistics. In the producer-consumer model, users create queues in which producers, or servers, can post messages. Workers, or consumers, can then claim those messages and delete them after they complete the actions associated with the messages. A single claim can contain multiple messages, and administrators can query claims for status.

To deal with workers that have stopped responding (for up to 1209600 seconds or 14 days, including claim lifetime), the server extends the lifetime of claimed messages to be at least as long as the lifetime of the claim itself, plus the specified grace period. If a claimed message would normally live longer than the grace period, its expiration is not adjusted.
