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 :)!

Yes 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.

My rough estimate is that Autoscale will be in more regions within the next month.

  We really need a timeline of this being available in UK South.
  
  Is there any sort of date ?

    Hi BradleyGlover93,
    No there is no timeline or ETA for scaling plans being available in UK South. Azure is facing capacity issues in UK South that are preventing us from being able to deploy there fully. We will be rolling out scaling plans to more regions in the next month, but UK South will not come for a while.
