Update virtual-machine-scale-sets-scale-in-policy.md
Scale in default policy is available for fault domain as well, updated the document. By default, Virtual Machine Scale Set applies this policy to determine which instance(s) will be scaled in. With the *Default* policy, VMs are selected for scale-in in the following order: 1. Balance virtual machines across availability zones (if the scale set is deployed in zonal configuration) 2. Balance virtual machines across fault domains (best effort) 3. Delete virtual machine with the highest instance ID Users don't need to specify a scale-in policy if they just want the default ordering to be followed. ==================================== old details. Flexible orchestration With this policy, virtual machines are scaled-in after balancing across availability zones (if the scale set is in zonal configuration), and the oldest virtual machine as per createdTime is scaled-in first. Balancing across fault domain isn't available in Default policy with flexible orchestration mode.
