What is VMSS?

VMSS (Virtual Machine Scale Sets) is an Azure compute service that allows you to create and manage a group of identical, load balanced VMs. It's designed to support auto-scaling, enabling you to automatically increase or decrease the number of VM instances based on demand or a defined schedule. VMSS is commonly used for hosting applications that need to handle varying workloads, such as web applications, APIs, and microservices.
