Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) enable the creation and management of a group of load-balanced virtual machines (VMs) that can automatically scale in response to demand or a defined schedule. This service is designed to support large-scale applications, such as batch processing, big data, and container workloads, by allowing users to efficiently deploy and manage thousands of VMs with uniform configurations.

SUSE Virtualization

What is SUSE Virtualization? SUSE Virtualization is a modern, Kubernetes-native alternative to traditional hypervisors. Built on KubeVirt and running directly on bare metal, it enables you to manage virtual machines and integrated storage without the legacy overhead or complex licensing of conventional virtualization platforms. SUSE Virtualization provides full VM lifecycle management, distributed storage, and deep integration with SUSE Rancher Prime. Powered by Kubernetes and KubeVirt under the hood, it delivers a simplified experience - no Kubernetes knowledge required.
