add auto-scaling for web and worker roles based on cpu utilization, no. of requests and memory used
scaling number of web/worker role instances has to be set in the configuration file. I would like to have the number of instances change on run-time without user's intervention based on pre-set rules. Rules can be defined for #of requests on a certain instance, cpu utilization or memory available.

This is a dupe for another story (http://www.mygreatwindowsazureidea.com/forums/34192-windows-azure-feature-voting/suggestions/392894-make-it-easier-for-me-to-scale-up-or-down-my-windo).
FYI, Microsoft patterns & practices team is developing a new application block that will address various autoscaling scenarios. See http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/2011/08/23/autoscaling-windows-azure-applications.aspx
