If I have stopped (deallocated) a VM, is that VM started as part of an autoscale operation?
145

answer: |

No. If autoscale rules require additional VM instances as part of a scale set, a new VM instance is created. VM instances that are stopped (deallocated) aren't started as part of an autoscale event. However, those stopped (deallocated) VMs can be deleted as part of an autoscale event that scales in the number of instances, in the same way that any VM instance can be deleted based on the order of VM instance IDs.

Self-signed certificates can't be used for distributed trust provided by a certificate authority, and shouldn't be used for any Service Fabric cluster intended to host enterprise production solutions.

If you are providing the VMs only with a public SSH key, you don't need to put the public keys in Azure Key Vault. Public keys aren't secret.

When I run `Update-AzVmss` after adding more than one certificate from the same key vault, why do I get an error message?

answer: |

This can happen if you try to re-add the same vault instead of using a new vault certificate for the existing source vault. The `Add-AzVmssSecret` command doesn't work correctly if you're adding additional secrets.

If you create a VM and then update your secret in the key vault, the new certificate isn't downloaded to your VMs. But your VMs appear to reference it, and new VMs get the new secret. To avoid this, you are required to reference a secret version.

Yes. For more information, see the [managed identities overview](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md). You can see some example MSI templates in Azure Quickstart templates for [Linux](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/microsoft.compute/vmss-msi) and [Windows](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/microsoft.compute/vmss-msi).

In what case would I create a virtual machine scale set with fewer than two VMs?
623
623
answer: |
624
-
One reason to create a virtual machine scale set with fewer than two VMs is to use the elastic properties of a virtual machine scale set. For example, you can deploy a virtual machine scale set with zero VMs to define your infrastructure without paying VM running costs. Then, when you are ready to deploy VMs, you can increase the capacity of the virtual machine scale set to the production instance count.

Another reason you might create a virtual machine scale set with fewer than two VMs is if you're concerned less with availability than with using an availability set with discrete VMs. Virtual machine scale sets give you a way to work with undifferentiated compute units that are fungible. This uniformity is a key differentiator for virtual machine scale sets versus availability sets. Many stateless workloads don't track individual units. If the workload drops, you can scale down to one compute unit, and then scale up to many when the workload increases.
