Virtual Machine Scale Set'
A Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) is a cloud computing feature that enables the deployment, management, and scaling of a group of identical virtual machines (VMs). It automatically adjusts the number of VMs based on demand, ensuring high availability and optimizing resource usage. VM scale sets support auto-scaling and load balancing, distributing workloads across VMs to handle traffic fluctuations efficiently. This is ideal for applications requiring scalability, such as web services, large data processing tasks, and high-performance computing, making it easier to maintain application performance and cost-effectiveness in dynamic environments.
Steps to create a Virtual Machine Scale Set
Step 1
Login to your Azure Portal
On the search bar, search and select Virtual Machine Scale set
Step 2
On VMSS page, select Create Virtual Machine Scale Set
Step 3
Enter your Subscription, resource group (you can create if non is avaliable), VMSS name, region and availability zone.
Step 4
Choose your Ochestration mode, Security type and Scaling mode
Step 5
Choose your image and VM size (leave others as default)
Step 6
Enter your username and password
NOTE: our image is windows, for linux you have the option to choose either password or SSH
Step 7
leave other parameters as default, then review and create. After Validation, click create.
Step 8
Final Step
After deployment, click Go to Resource
Conclusion
In summary, Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) provide a scalable, efficient solution for managing dynamic workloads in the cloud. By automating VM deployment and scaling, VMSS helps ensure reliable, cost-effective performance, making it ideal for modern, adaptable applications.
With these steps you have created a Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) in Azure portal.
