Lab Overview

Azure virtual machine scale sets let you create and manage a group of load balanced VMs. The number of VM instances can automatically increase or decrease in response to demand or a defined schedule. Scale sets provide high availability to your applications, and allow you to centrally manage, configure, and update a large number of VMs. With virtual machine scale sets, you can build large-scale services for areas such as compute, big data, and container workloads.

Learning Objectives

In this Azure simulation, you will be guided through the process of creating a basic VM scale set. You’ll create a scale set with a Windows Server 2019 image and you’ll create the network for the scale set. You’ll deploy the scale set behind an existing public load balancer.
