## vcenter ovf: scale out params

The `scale_out_params` structure contains information about the scale-out groups described in the OVF package.

When deploying an OVF package, a deployment specific instance count can be specified (see vcenter.ovf.scale_out_group.instance_count.

This is based on the ovf2:ScaleOutSection.

See deploy and filter.
