Hi, I am creating a cluster of machines in AWS to parallelize paraview calculation and visualisation. Right now I am using a fixed number of nodes but I would like to explore the possibility of including autoscaling option. Can this be done from the Paraview perspective?

Hi @Filip_N,
If you are asking whether you can add compute nodes on the fly to a running `pvserver` instance, the answer is no.

Hi @cory.quammen,
Thank you for the answer! Follow up, is there a way to save the state of the current execution so that I can load it when I stop the cluster and rerun it with changed configuration?

Yes, you can save ParaView’s state in one session and load it in another session.
