We are excited to announce the public preview of Instance Mix, a new feature designed to optimize your Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) deployments. Instance Mix allows you to specify multiple VM sizes within a single Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS), providing greater flexibility and cost efficiency. To further optimize deployments, Instance Mix allows you to specify an allocation strategy to optimize price or capacity.
Key Features
- Flexible VM Combinations: Mix and match various VM sizes within a single VMSS to better align with your workload requirements.
- Cost Optimization: Achieve cost savings by utilizing smaller VMs for less demanding tasks while reserving larger VMs for more intensive processes. Further, utilize the lowestPrice allocation strategy to let
- Simplified Management: Manage a diverse set of VMs under one VMSS, reducing the complexity of handling multiple scale sets.
- Enhanced Performance: Optimize performance by allocating the right VM size to the right task, ensuring efficient resource utilization.
