This article explains how to differentiate Azure VMs and Azure VM Scale Set instances in Cloudaware CMDB. |
Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) allow creating and managing a group users to create and manage groups of load-balanced virtual machines (VMs. Azure consumers who deliver services requiring ). Organizations that require high availability and large at scale leverage utilize scale sets to ensure application resiliency.
With Flexible the flexible orchestration mode, customers can add standard Azure VMs to Azure VM Scale Sets. However, Microsoft Azure reports those these machines as both Azure VM and Azure VMSS instance. In Cloudaware CMDB, those machines may be displayed as duplicates in related objects both as regular virtual instances and as scale set-specific instances, resulting in duplicate instance records in the CMDB. As a result, users may see duplicates in the 'Related Objects' section of a selected Azure VM Scale Set:.
