VMSS scaleset #412

Closed Trainocate-IN closed 5 years ago

Trainocate-IN commented 5 years ago

Hi @eltoncarr

I have a doubt in the usage of VMSS scaleset instance. Normally, scale set instance will be used only if the load exceeds in any other VMs. But as per the deployment architecture of microsoft open edx deployment, VMSS instance is being used to store all the default configuration and themes. Why the VMSS Scale set instance is being used to have all these default config and themes? Is there anyway to push the configuration into the Classic VM and host the site ?

You can definitely use the classic VM but you'd be responsible for accounting for the update of each one. If you have a multi-instance setup (like all production systems should do), the use of the VMSS comes handy. With the VMSS, you target a set of VMs as if they are one. If you go the direct VM route, you need to handle that yourself.
