-Azure virtual machine scale sets let you create and manage a group of load balanced VMs. The number of VM instances can automatically increase or decrease in response to demand or a defined schedule. Scale sets provide high availability to your applications, and allow you to centrally manage, configure, and update many VMs. We recommended that two or more VMs are created within a scale set to provide for a highly available application and to meet the [99.95% Azure SLA](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/). There is no cost for the scale set itself, you only pay for each VM instance that you create. When a single VM is using [Azure premium SSDs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disks-types#premium-ssd), the Azure SLA applies for unplanned maintenance events. Virtual machines in a scale set can be deployed across multiple regions and fault domains to maximize availability and resilience to outages due to data center outages, and planned or unplanned maintenance events. Virtual machines in a scale set can also be deployed into a single Availability zone, or regionally. Availability zone deployment options may differ based on the orchestration mode.
