Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) | Scaling plans and Autoscaling
Just notice that I have a new tab under my AVD Portal for Scaling Plan. Before I just explore it, I checked Microsoft DOCs to understand the new feature and see how I can enable it, but ...
Please verify documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/autoscale-scaling-plan., which came with slight delay. When searching the table of contents for autoscale you will find additional articles how to use diagnostics and FAQ
Ensure your review limitations and ensure you have the custom RBAC role set-up :)!

MicrosoftHi Aaron, we are planning to start rolling out Autoscale to new regions in the coming weeks. This announcement was a preemptive warning that will be supplemented with Autoscale being supported in more regions very very soon. I will be sure to update here when there is wider availability. Are there particular region(s) that you need scaling plans in to assign to your host pool?
I was wondering if this was a precursor to GA. 🙂 North Central US is the big one for us so I hope that one is on the list.
- Seneca_FriendYes it definitely is! We are planning to have Autoscale in every region that host pools are in today by the time Autoscale GAs.
- Are you able to share a rough timescale as to when this new Auto scaling feature will be made available to more regions please (UK South etc...)?
We are currently in the process of rolling out AVD to a large customer, and making use of the scaling script (logic app/automation account) to achieve some basic scaling functionality. However the new AutoScaling functions that are in preview look to offer far more control and options that would be extremely useful.- Seneca_FriendMy rough estimate is that Autoscale will be in more regions within the next month.
