Control it like IaaS, scale it like PaaS

Submitted Feb 7, 2017

Section: Full talk of 40 mins duration Technical level: Intermediate

IaaS provides complete control and flexibility over infrastructure on cloud while PaaS provides seamless scalability. PaaS can help scaling up and out automatically based on configured triggers. How good it would be to have a way to deploy virtual machines on cloud and manage it like PaaS by scaling in or out based on your own defined triggers. Virtual machine Scale Sets(VMSS) on Azure provides such a paradigm. VMSS allows to provision Linux or windows virtual machines as a set and manages them together. This provides massive scalability to applications while keeping the costs under check. In this session, we will understand the principles of VMSS, provision compute resources as a set, deploy and run application on them attached to load balancer. Moreover, it will show how to configure scaling up and down of compute resources using custom definitions. The VMSS compute resources will be provisioned and tested using scripts and templates that adheres to infrastructure as code practices. VMSS not only makes applications highly scalable but also highly available.
