Resource Overview​

An Azure Linux Virtual Machine Scale Set is a group of identical virtual machines running the Linux operating system that can automatically scale in or out based on demand. You can manually adjust the number of VMs in the scale set or define rules to automatically resize based on resource usage (such as CPU, memory requirements, or network traffic). Azure load balancers then distribute traffic across the VM instances in the scale set.
