By default, this flag is true when a Service Offering is created.

To modify the CPU and/or RAM capacity of a virtual machine, you need to

change the compute offering of the VM to a new compute offering that has
442-
the desired CPU and RAM values. You can use the same steps described
443-
above in `“Changing the Service Offering for a

the desired CPU value and RAM value and 'Dynamic Scaling Enabled' flag as true.

You can use the same steps described above in `“Changing the Service Offering for a
444458
VM” <#changing-the-service-offering-for-a-vm>`_, but skip the step where you
445459
stop the virtual machine. Of course, you might have to create a new

compute offering first.
