 Placing VMs in a single region reduces the physical distance between the instances. Placing them within a single availability zone will also bring them physically closer together. However, as the Azure footprint grows, a single availability zone may span multiple physical data centers, which may result in a network latency impacting your application. 
 
 To get VMs as close as possible, achieving the lowest possible latency, you can deploy them within a proximity placement group.

 Enabling automatic OS image upgrades on your scale set helps ease update management by safely and automatically upgrading the OS disk for all instances in the scale set.
 
 Automatic OS upgrade has the following characteristics:

 To run applications on virtual machine (VM) instances in a scale set, you first need to install the application components and required files. This article introduces ways to build a custom VM image for instances in a scale set, or automatically run install scripts on existing VM instances. You also learn how to manage application or OS updates across a scale set.

 Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets enable better elasticity for your workloads through [Autoscale](virtual-machine-scale-sets-autoscale-overview.md), so you can configure when your infrastructure scales-out and when it scales-in. Scale sets also enable you to centrally manage, configure, and update a large number of VMs through different [upgrade policy](virtual-machine-scale-sets-upgrade-scale-set.md#how-to-bring-vms-up-to-date-with-the-latest-scale-set-model) settings. You can configure an update on the scale set model and the new configuration is applied automatically to every scale set instance if you've set the upgrade policy to Automatic or Rolling.

 Instance protection is only supported with API version 2019-03-01 and above. Check the API version being used and update as required. You might also need to update your PowerShell or CLI to the latest version.

 Throughout the lifecycle of a Virtual Machine Scale Set, you may need to run one or more management tasks. Additionally, you may want to create scripts that automate various lifecycle-tasks. This article details some of the common Azure CLI commands that let you perform these tasks.
 
 To complete these management tasks, you need the latest Azure CLI. For information, see [Install the Azure CLI](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli). If you need to create a Virtual Machine Scale Set, you can [create a scale set with the Azure CLI](quick-create-cli.md).
