| 1 | +# Azure Virtual Machines Scale Sets |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Azure virtual machine scale sets let you create and manage a group of identical, 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 a large number of VMs. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This module deploys Windows or Linux virtual machine scale sets with Public / Private Load Balancer support and many other features. |
