VIRTUAL MACHIHE SCALE SET

In today’s cloud-driven world, agility and scalability are key to staying ahead. Microsoft Azure’s Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and Compute Gallery offer powerful tools to streamline deployment, optimize performance, and manage virtual machines at scale. VMSS enables automatic scaling of workloads across thousands of VMs, while Compute Gallery simplifies image management and distribution across regions. Together, they form a dynamic duo for building resilient, efficient, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure.

Key Steps in VM Scale Set

1. Login to Azure portal

1. Create a resource group
2. select virtual machine from the search bar

1. create a virtual machine

Note the virtual machine should be in the resource group that was created earlier

1. create tags for Virtual machine for each department

1. Passed validation, then create

1. GO to the virtual machine, select the public IP address

1. Increase the Idle time to 30 minutes and save

1. create a data disc and increase the storage type and size etc, after that we apply

1. connect to the VM that was created

1. open the RDP file input the password and lurch the VM

1. This is the lurch VM

1. Then we need to format the hard disk of the new Virtual machine Click on disk2 and click on next to format it

1. Go Back to Azure portal and search for Compute galleries and create it

Choose your resource group, subscription, and name the compute gallery, review and create

1. Return back to the virtual machine and select capture and capture image.

1. Select the resource Group and gallery that was created

1. under operating system state choice specialize, assign the image definition name and save.

1. impute the version number and Review and create

1. Go to Resources

1. Create (Create Virtual Machine Scale Set) VMSS

1. Ensure They are in the same region and resources group

1. Select image and instance count

1. Review and create

1. Go to Resource

1. We can increase the instance count from 2 to 30 or any number of our choice and save

1. Go back to the virtual machine and see that 30 VM machine has been created

Congratulations We have provisioned Virtual machine
