• Select the compartment to create the autoscaling configuration in.
• Select the compartment for the instance pool.
• Select the Instance pool to apply the autoscaling configuration to.
• Tags: If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.
