Check VMSS Scale Mode via PowerShell

[Oleg_A]

Hello:

Can someone please suggest how I can check the scale mode in my VMSS (Virtual machine scale set) via Powershell?

Ideally, I want to see if it's manual or auto and number of max Instances...

Thank you!

Try this:

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

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!

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