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

e VM Scale Set Instance
To differentiate virtual machines machine types for reporting, address refer to the following fields:
VM Scale Set
VM Scale Set ID
These fields help to identify indicate whether a virtual machines were machine was originally created initially as a part of the an Azure VM Scale Set:.
...
If the VM Scale Set fields are empty, it means the VM virtual machine was originally initially created as a standard Azure VM and then later added to a scale set.
