About Cisco APIC-EM Services
The Cisco APIC-EM creates a Platform as a Service (PaaS) environment for your network, using Grapevine as an Elastic Services platform to support the controller's infrastructure and services. A service in this PaaS environment is a horizontally scalable application that adds instances of itself when demand increases, and frees instances of itself when demand decreases.
The Cisco APIC-EM controls elasticity at the service level, rather than at the Grapevine client level.
