    Yes, you're correct! The scaling mode is represented by the "OrchestrationMode" property.

Try this:

 

Get-AzVmss -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" -VMScaleSetName "myScaleSet"

    Kidd_Ip ,

    Thank you! It will get me the VMSS, but I wonder how can I see the scale mode there? How can I check if my particular VMSS set to Auto or Manual?

    Thank you!

      Replace "<YourResourceGroupName>" and "<YourVMSSName>" with your actual resource group and VMSS name. This will return the scaling mode(manual or auto) and the maximum number of instances for your VMSS.

        Thank you! I just cannot figure out what exact parameter is for Scaling Mode... I can see max number of instances - SKU.Capacity, but not sure where to look for scaling mode...

         

        Is it "OrchestrationMode" ?



        Thank you!
