Explore Azure VM scale sets, including deployment via Azure Portal and Azure CLI, auto scaling, load balancer and application gateway integration, and key monitoring and cost optimization practices.
Learn how Azure VM scale sets manage identically configured, load balanced VMs with auto scaling and high availability across zones, with uniform for stateless and flexible for stateful/quorum workloads.
Configure and deploy Azure VM scale sets through portal, Azure CLI, or PowerShell, using an active subscription, resource group, two instances, Windows Server images, and data disks for scalable workloads.
In this lab simulation, you'll use the Azure portal, to deploy and configure a VM scale set, using an Ubuntu operating system image.
Explore auto scaling for Azure VM scale sets and configure rules based on CPU usage, disk I/O, and network I/O to adjust VM instances using portal or az vmss scale.
In this lab, you'll configure autoscale for a scaleset, so that the scaleset only has a single instance running between 6pm and 6am, 7 days a week.
In this lab, you'll use the Azure CLI to increase the instance capacity, for an Azure VM scale set.
In this lab, you'll configure a load balancer rule, which load balances traffic on port 443 for a scale set.
In this lab, you'll create a notification that emails the administrator, whenever CPU utilization exceeds 80%, on instances in a scale set.
