Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

  • Provide high availability by running multiple instances of an application
  • Automatically distribute VM instances in a scale set within a single datacenter or across multiple datacenters using Availability Zones
  • Allow applications to automatically scale as resource demand changes
  • Minimize unnecessary VM instances when demand is low
  • Support up to 1000 VMs per scale set

App Service Environments

  • Ideal for horizontally scaling stateless applications with high RPS requirements
  • Can be created in a single Azure region or across multiple Azure regions

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

  • Offers a quick way to develop and deploy cloud-native apps in Azure, datacenters, or at the edge
  • Provides unified management and governance for on-premises, edge, and multicloud Kubernetes clusters
  • Interoperates with Azure security, management, and migration services

Learn about Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets and their key benefits, such as providing high availability and supporting Azure load balancer and Application Gateway for traffic distribution.
