Challenge 6: It’s all about the scale
Introduction
Azure App Service is a scalable platform, it can automatically scale out when there’s unexpected load. But it has to be configured properly to know when to scale out.
Description
Configure App Service to scale out to multiple instances if the CPU usage goes beyond 60%. Generate some load using your favourite tool and observe the number of instances going up, and down when the load is terminated.
Success Criteria
- Verify that the number of App Service instances increases when there’s a large amount of requests, and also decreases when the load reduces.
- No files should be modified for this challenge
Tips
There’s a multitude of different ways to generate requests, you could use the included JMeter file, or run an ACI container with wrk to generate the load.
