Load balancing with scale sets

Question

Hi everyone,

I am starting to look into scalesets (new to this technology) and the uses that it has. Is it possible to install Apache2 on all the Ubuntu instances and add a custom page?

Youtube links or online guides would be appreciated :)

Thanks

Tom

Hello Tom Wrigglesworth,

Welcome to microsoft Q&A, Thankyou for posting your query here.

Yes, it is possible to install Apache2 on all the Ubuntu instances in a scale set and add a custom page to them.

Scale sets are designed to allow you to easily manage, deploy, and scale out hundreds or even thousands of virtual machines in a synchronized manner.

please refer this documentation for the same.

or else you can use custom image
