Hi!

All current OSM versions, starting with OSM Rel. 5, supports automatic scaling of VNFs
Scaling is supported with a VDU granularity, on any available metrics.

A Scaling Descriptor can be added to the VNFD and various metrics and thresholds can be set as parameters.

You can find more info and a sample VNFD, including Scaling Descriptors on the OSM Public Wiki, And in the Support Documentation.
