Unable to setup AutoScale for Virtual Machines from the Azure Management Portal

I just posted a new blog in my new team’s MSDN blog. Read the complete post here.

You can set up AutoScale for your Cloud Services, Virtual Machines, Web Sites from the Azure Management Portal. For Virtual Machines, autoscale can be configured for each availability set. You can setup AutoScale for your availability set only if:

  • You have only ‘Standard’ VMs in your Availability Set. Basic VMs cannot participate in AutoScaling.
  • Your ‘Standard’ VMS are of same size.
