Sets the utilization target value for a cumulative or delta metric, expressed as the rate of growth per minute.
DeltaPerSecond
Sets the utilization target value for a cumulative or delta metric, expressed as the rate of growth per second.
Gauge
Sets the utilization target value for a gauge metric. The autoscaler will collect the average utilization of the virtual machines from the last couple of minutes, and compare the value to the utilization target value to perform autoscaling.
UndefinedUtilizationTargetType
A value indicating that the enum field is not set.
