Resource Overview​

Azure Windows Virtual Machine Scale Set is a resource that creates multiple Windows virtual machine instances and automatically scales the number of instances up or down based on demand or defined schedules.
By configuring VM size (SKU), operating system images, administrator account information, OS disk configuration, and network interface settings, identical Windows VMs can be operated at scale.
