AKS with Windows node pool for Teams Bots

Hi,

There is a question related to AKS with Windows node pool.

Provisioning of the new Standard_F8s_v2 node with the full Windows image (it's a requirement for Teams Policy Recording bots) takes around 10 minutes.

  • Is there any way to speed it up?
  • Or get these nodes on some kind of "stand by" mode? (so that we don't have to pay the full price for them being actually alive)

Is there any roadmap / ETA on getting rid of Windows Media Foundation (WMF) runtime dependency in Bot SDK?

Hello @Nikita Krivets thank you for your question, you can use the feature. "Using Scale-down Mode to deallocate nodes on scale-down" check this document for more information. about scale down mode so here it will scale down the node with the same image without costing you (Cost for storages check the document for more information), and when you want to use it, you can scale it and use the same image quickly.
