How to create a virtual machine scale set (VMSS)

creation of virtual machine scale set is creation of a virtual machine and making multiple copies of that virtual machine. The importance of VMSS is if there is a large workload such as game that has peak and off-peak period. The VMSS will be able to scale in and scale out preventing the system from crashing.

For this exercise the virtual machine machine created in "

Under azure compute gallery select +create



In instance details, name it ugocomputegallary, in region select (US) West Central US and in description "is where VM images will be stored". Then click review + create



Go back to ugovm, on the dropdown under capture select image



In version details, the version number give it 0.0.1. leave the rest as default then click review and create



The objective of VMSS is when traffic is too much, the vm scales out and when it reduces it scales in. The above process, is horizontal scaling.

After the deployment, go to resources



In instance details, name the vm, vm41. in image showns the image captured image earlier (ugocomputegallaries/ugoimage/0.0.1 -x64 Gen2. The above illustration shows we have created an image that can be used for further deployment

Go to ugocomputegallaries/ugoimage/0.0.1, click on + Create



In Orchestration, in orchestration mode select flexible

Orchestration mode Choose how virtual machines are managed by the scale set. In flexible orchestration mode, you manually create and add a virtual machine of any configuration to the scale set. In uniform orchestration mode, you define a virtual machine model and Azure will generate identical instances based on that model.

Flexible achieve high availability at scale with identical or multiple virtual machine types while uniform is optimized for large scale stateless workloads.

In scaling, in scaling mode select Manually update the capacity: Maintain a fixed amount of instances.



After final validation has passed select create



In Choose how to scale your resource leave it at manual scale. In instance count type 70 and save
