Load balanced Virtual machines have become an integral segment of our organization today, and with Virtual Machine Scale Set, you become capable of creating and managing these groups of VMs much more easily and efficiently. The number of virtual machines in usage can eventually increase or decrease based on the requirements and specifications of an enterprise, and with this tool, you will be able to monitor the resiliency of the applications in a more proficient manner. Since the resource demands keep changing from time to time, this tool is going to assist you in dealing with the things even more conveniently.
The main intention of Virtual Machine Scale Set is to offer a flexible and unified experience to the users within the Azure ecosystem. It is capable of managing up to 1000 VMs within a region or a particular availability zone. Further, it takes care of your fault domain isolation that is important to run stateful workloads. In the present times, applications are being distributed across various instances and customers can now route their requests accordingly. This works as a load balancer so that the people can use different instances to perform their objectives and maintain things as and when required.

What is so special about Virtual Machine Scale Set?
Using Virtual Machine Scale Set, you can expect to ensure that there is no miss in adhering to the demands of your customers while one of your applications is under maintenance. It runs across multiple VMs and ensures load balancing of the traffic in a more optimized manner. From managing the size of the VM, to maintaining its disk configuration, and also to manage different installations, Virtual Machine Scale Set has got a critical role to play! Further, this will help you manage multiple VMs, without any extra network management or configuration.
Advantages of Virtual Machine Scale Set
The real motif of implementing Virtual Machine Scale Set is to offer a higher level of availability to the users. Also, it focuses of providing application resiliency thereby helping the customers to access their application through an alternative instance without having to face much interruption. Here are a few benefits of Virtual Machine Scale Set:
- Creating and managing 1000s of VMs in a go!
- Central configuration of the VMs
- Manage the loads of VMs based on the defined schedule or according to the business needs you have!
- Auto-scale your VM pool and customize the desired metrics as and when required
- Raise the availability of stateless and stateful apps
- Select your VM consumption models
- Increase the resiliency of the apps in use
- Automatic distribution of the workloads on VMs across a centrally monitored data center or multiple data centers
Bottom line:
Based on the requirements of the customers, the VMs are added or eliminated to ensure that they are able to fetch a desired level of acceptance, while at the same time, a greater number of VM instances are added automatically as soon as the customer demand shoots up. Virtual Machine Scale Set takes care that your workloads are well distributed as and when required so that your production level is no way disrupted!
