Tutorial: Scale an Azure VMware Solution private cloud

To get the most out of your Azure VMware Solution private cloud experience, scale the clusters and hosts to reflect what you need for planned workloads. You can scale the number of clusters and the number of hosts in a private cloud as required for your application workload. Performance and availability limitations for specific services need to be addressed on a case by case basis within your Azure VMware Solution private cloud environment. The cluster and host limits are provided in the private cloud concept article.

In this tutorial, you'll use the Azure portal to:

  • Add a cluster to an existing private cloud
  • Add hosts to an existing cluster

Prerequisites

You need a private cloud to complete this tutorial. If you haven't yet created a private cloud, use the create a private cloud tutorial to create one and configure networking for your VMware private cloud in Azure to setup the required virtual network.

Add a new cluster

  1. On the overview page of an existing private cloud, under Manage, select Scale private cloud. Next, select + Add a cluster.

    The deployment of the new cluster will begin.

Scale a cluster

  1. On the overview page of an existing private cloud, select Scale private cloud and select the pencil icon to edit the cluster.

  2. In the Edit Cluster page, use the slider to select the number of hosts. Select Save.

    :::image type="content" source="./media/tutorial-scale-private-cloud/ss5-scale-cluster.png" alt-text="In the Edit Cluster page, use the slider to select the number of hosts. Select Save." border="true":::

    The addition of hosts to the cluster will begin.

Next steps

If you require another Azure VMware Solution private cloud, create another private cloud, following the same networking prerequisites, cluster and host limits.
