The document discusses the Elastic Processing Unit (EPU) in GigaSpaces, which allows automatic scaling of processing units across containers and machines, managing the entire container lifecycle as well as automatic rebalancing and capacity calculations. It provides instructions on deploying an EPU, scaling it manually or automatically based on resource monitoring, and undeploying it along with automatically terminating associated containers. The EPU also supports automatic provisioning of new machines through custom plugins to dynamically add resources on demand.
