# How to Use the Autoscaling Application Block

This guide will demonstrate how to perform common scenarios using the
Autoscaling Application Block from the [Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0
Integration Pack for Azure][]. The samples are written in C\#
and use the .NET API. The scenarios covered include **hosting the
block**, **using constraint rules**, and **using reactive rules**. For
more information on the Autoscaling Application Block, see the [Next Steps][] section.

## What is Blitline?

Blitline is a cloud-based image processing service that provides enterprise level image processing at a fraction of the price that it would cost to build it yourself.

The fact is that image processing has been done over and over again, usually rebuilt from the ground up for each and every website. We realize this because we’ve built them a million times too. One day we decided that perhaps it‘s time we just do it for everyone. We know how to do it, to do it fast and efficiently, and save everyone work in the meantime.
