Hello, 

I heard something about solution called Scaleset which is provided by AZURE. I don’t know how to start process of creation that solution to save some cost from machines.  Is someone have some experience in that type of solution? 

Regards, 

Michal

Scale Sets allow you to create multple vms from a template and automatically scale as resoucres are needed:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/overview

I’m certainly no expect, though I imagine you could create a clustered Scale set that will balance as needed.

Looking at this portion:

  • Allows your application to automatically scale as resource demand changes

    • Customer demand for your application may change throughout the day or week. To match customer demand, scale sets can automatically increase the number of VM instances as application demand increases, then reduce the number of VM instances as demand decreases.
    • Autoscale also minimizes the number of unnecessary VM instances that run your application when demand is low, while customers continue to receive an acceptable level of performance as demand grows and additional VM instances are automatically added. This ability helps reduce costs and efficiently create Azure resources as required.

Have you tested out creating any scale sets yet to see how they present themselves?

Have you looked into automatic scaling for Azure?  Might be easier to configure.
