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.
