HI dear community,
I would like to know how can I get the ADO queue length and use it as a metric in Azure to do autoscaling activities.
A bit of context.
I am deploying the Scaleset with Terraform. It happens that when I give the control of the Scaleset to ADO then Terrform cannot anymore manage seamlessly the next deployments.
Therefore I excluded the previous setup concept.
The new idea is to control the scaling activities with the queue length metric that I need to take from ADO.
Best regards
Alessandro

Can you please help confirm the following so that I can further help:
Do you want to know "how to test “autoscale for queue rule” which means the VMs will do scale out/in based on the number of messages inside of the storage account queue?
