[yasr_visitor_votes]

Lab Overview

In this lab, you’ll learn how to deploy and configure an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) using the Azure portal.

A VM Scale Set is an Azure compute resource that allows you to deploy and manage a set of identical VMs. This lab walks you through the process of setting up the scale set, configuring auto-scaling based on CPU usage, and attaching storage to the VMs.

You’ll also configure network settings and management options to ensure smooth operations.

By the end of this lab, you’ll have deployed a scalable, flexible infrastructure capable of automatically scaling in or out based on workload demands.
