#Create the VMSS
New-AzVmss -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Name $VMSSName -VirtualMachineScaleSet $VMSS;The following complex example creates a VMSS. The first command creates a resource group with the specified name and location. The second command uses the New-AzStorageAccount cmdlet to create a storage account. The third command then uses the Get-AzStorageAccount cmdlet to get the storage account created in the second command and stores the result in the $STOAccount variable. The fifth command uses the New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig cmdlet to create a subnet and stores the result in the variable named $SubNet. The sixth command uses the New-AzVirtualNetwork cmdlet to create a virtual network and stores the result in the variable named $VNet. The seventh command uses the Get-AzVirtualNetwork to get information about the virtual network created in the sixth command and stores the information in the variable named $VNet. The eighth and ninth command uses the New-AzPublicIpAddress and Get- AzureRmPublicIpAddress to create and get information from that public IP address. The commands store the information in the variable named $PubIP. The tenth command uses the New- AzureRmLoadBalancerFrontendIpConfig cmdlet to create a frontend load balancer and stores the result in the variable named $Frontend. The eleventh command uses the New-AzLoadBalancerBackendAddressPoolConfig to create a backend address pool configuration and stores the result in the variable named $BackendAddressPool. The twelfth command uses the New-AzLoadBalancerProbeConfig to create a probe and stores the probe information in the variable named $Probe. The thirteenth command uses the New-AzLoadBalancerInboundNatPoolConfig cmdlet to create a load balancer inbound network address translation (NAT) pool configuration. The fourteenth command uses the New-AzLoadBalancerRuleConfig to create a load balancer rule configuration and stores the result in the variable named $LBRule. The fifteenth command uses the New-AzLoadBalancer cmdlet to create a load balancer and stores the result in the variable named $ActualLb. The sixteenth command uses the Get-AzLoadBalancer to get information about the load balancer that was created in the fifteenth command and stores the information in the variable named $ExpectedLb. The seventeenth command uses the New-AzVmssIPConfig cmdlet to create a VMSS IP configuration and stores the information in the variable named $IPCfg. The eighteenth command uses the New-AzVmssConfig cmdlet to create a VMSS configuration object and stores the result in the variable named $VMSS. The nineteenth command uses the New-AzVmss cmdlet to create the VMSS.
