Configuring auto-scaling for Azure access nodes with Scale Manager includes identifying the Azure subscription where the auto-scaled access nodes are deployed and a scale manager node to manage auto-scaling, adding a scaling configuration, and then adding the scaling configuration client to the hypervisor access node.
For information about creating a scaling configuration, see Create a scaling configuration for Azure.
Multi-tenant environments
In multi-tenant environments:
-
Service providers can offer auto-scaling with a scaling configuration as a service.
-
Tenants can either use their service providers' scaling profile configuration or configure their own scaling profile.
Add a Scale Configuration Client to the Server Group That Specifies Network and Permission Settings
You can add a scale configuration client to an existing server group or a new server group that defines topology and permissions settings, which is then automatically applied to all compute nodes.
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Infrastructure > Server groups.
-
Click Add, enter a name for the server group, and then select Manual association.
-
Associate the pseudo scale configuration client.
