In this article, we will go step by step, to create a Virtual Machine Scale Set for Windows Server. With the help of this option, we can create multiple VMs with a single click. Virtual Machine scale sets are Azure computer resources. So, these can be easily deployed and managed. All Virtual Machines are configured and connected to each other. So, we can scale them, automatically. Also, no pre-provisioning of Virtual Machines is required.That makes it easier to build large scale services that target big data, big computer and containerized workloads. For applications that need to scale computer resources out and in, scale operations are implicitly balanced across facult and updated domains.
VM Scale Set resources: VM Scale Set, Load Balancer, Public IP Address, VNET and a set of uniquely named storage account.
