AVD scaling plans are missing some basic feature and are restricted to a single day schedules. I'm missing: - option to do a dry run to see what would happen if I enable it - option for several ...
Hey tejas_memane Thank you for the feedback! I would love to learn more about the issues that you described and we may need to troubleshoot the issue if you have customer cases to share.
Can you also help me to understand what is causing the confusion in the threshold settings so that I can look into whether we can improve the docs for better understanding? Autoscale service checks used host pool capacity (# of users sessions / # of host pool capacity) against the capacity threshold defined by the customer,
- If the used host pool capacity is below the capacity threshold and autoscale can turn off virtual machines (VMs) without going over the capacity threshold, then the feature will turn off the VMs.
- If the used host pool capacity goes over the capacity threshold, then autoscale will turn on more VMs until the used host pool capacity goes below the capacity threshold.
We also have some example scenarios that can help understand how autoscale feature works with the defined capacity threshold.
