Autoscale – scaling plans

Please note, at the time of writing, autoscale within the Azure portal is in public preview.

The built-in autoscale feature with Azure Virtual Desktop simplifies automating scale based on time and session limits per session host. It also allows the scaling of session hosts in a personal pool.

Important note

Ephemeral disks are not supported when using the scaling plans for Azure Virtual Desktop.

Giving Microsoft access to start and stop VMs

Before we can start configuring a scaling plan, we first need to give Microsoft’s service principal permission to start and stop VMs. We can configure the right role in the IAM of each resource group containing the VMs.

Navigate to the resource group (and repeat this for additional resource groups if needed) and click Access control (IAM), + Add, and Add role assignment:
