Azure autoscale automatically increase or decrease the number of VM instances for an Azure virtual machine scale set (VMSS) that run your application. This automated and elastic behavior reduces the management overhead to monitor and optimize the performance of your application. You create rules that define the acceptable performance for a positive customer experience. When those defined thresholds are met, autoscale rules take action to adjust the capacity of your scale set. You can also schedule events to automatically increase or decrease the capacity of your scale set at fixed times.
Now you can use machine learning to help manage and scale out your Virtual Machine Scale Sets with Predictive autoscale. The capacity needs of your Virtual Machine Scale Sets are forecasted based on the historical CPU patterns. When enabled, the predicted overall CPU load is observed and scale-out occurs in advance and in time to meet the demand.
Predictive autoscale complements loads that have cyclical workload patterns and are especially advantageous when Virtual Machines have long provisioning times. Having the scale out occur before the workload demand covers peak load while lowering the costs.
Predictive autoscale is available for Virtual Machine Scale Sets and support scale out only for Percentage CPU metrics only. Users will have to continue to create standard autoscale settings when creating scale ins for Virtual Machine Scale Sets.
Predictive autoscale can be configured via Azure Portal, CLI and PowerShell.
To get started with predictive autoscale from Azure Portal navigate to their Virtual Machine Scale Set scaling blade and then to Predictive autoscale section
Using the Predictive Autoscale dropdown selection, you can:
Enable forecast only mode
Enable predictive autoscale
Disable predictive autoscale. This is the default setting when you first land on the page for predictive autoscale.
Once you’ve made your predictive autoscale selection (i.e. enable forecast only or predictive autoscale) and optionally configure how far in advance you want to scale out click on Save and then the process starts.
A new tab is now available in the scaling tab: Predictive Charts which provides you an in depth overview of the forecasted CPU as well as any autoscaling that occurs if predictive autoscale is enabled.
Please note that Predictive autoscale requires a minimum of 7 days of history to provide predictions. The most accurate results come from 15 days of historical data.
The top chart shows an overlaid comparison of actual versus predicted total CPU percentage. The time span of the graph shown is from the last 24 hours to the next 24 hours.
The middle chart shows the number of instances running at specific times over the last 24 hours.
The bottom chart shows the current Average CPU utilization over the last 24 hours
In addition to this you have an option to enable/ disable forecast only or predictive autoscale as well as the ability to view the charts with time grain ranging from 12 hours to 7 days.
You can head over to Run History to review when scale outs occur due to predictive autoscale.
The forecast model observes the different capacity needs during the day and manages the overall load on an as needed basis. You will need to create a standard autoscale while creating predictive autoscale as it provides a fall back in case of say, missing forecast data. Predictive autoscale can work with other autoscale conditions, autoscale will always observe the request for highest number of resources to address any workload requirements.
Predictive autoscale is generally available in all public regions as of today, Oct 12, 2022. For more information you can refer to the documentation or email: predautoscalesupport@microsoft.com

We know that life for sellers has seen some massive changes recently as buyers are becoming more digital-first in their buying journeys and they are opting to spend less time with sales representatives. This means that when sellers get the opportunity to get in front of buyers there is a lot riding on that single interaction and the subsequent follow-up actions. Sellers must get it just right to land the deal.
We also know that when sellers have the right tools, at the right time, they win more with customers. In fact, according to LinkedIn’s State of Sales report this year, 80 percent of sellers who reached 150 percent of quota or more use sales technology.1 This gives us profound insight into the power that technology can play in enabling sellers to do more.
AI has already begun to play a major role in helping sellers to get to “yes” faster with customers, and that influence will only continue to grow in the coming years. Whether it be to automate the sales process, know customers more deeply, or simply help sellers be more productive, AI holds unrivaled value to sellers and sales organizations.
We think that AI should be infused at the core of all our business applications. This is why Microsoft is investing and will continue to invest in AI-powered sales solutions. Take, for example, the game-changing AI of natural language processing that supports our sales conversation intelligence. By embedding AI directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and the newly released Microsoft Viva Sales, we’re making it easier for every seller to receive this intelligence directly in their flow of work.
Full access to sales conversation intelligence
With sales conversation intelligence, sellers can quickly understand where their customers are in their sales journey and what they can do or say next to get the most from the interaction. It’s great for sales managers too, who can see what’s working for their top sellers and help coach the rest of the team.
We believe that sales conversation intelligence is so transformative for sellers that everyone should be able to experience it.
That’s why I’m delighted to share that all Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise and Viva Sales customers now have full access to sales conversation intelligence. This means that now all Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise customers and those running other customer relationship management (CRM) systems with Viva Sales can get as much of the insights they need. This is just an example of how we believe all business applications should be infused with AI at the core.
New features supporting sellers
What’s more is that in the coming months, we’re excited to roll out additional sales-specific insights based on Microsoft’s powerful AI and natural language processing capabilities:
Sellers will gain guidance in real time as they talk with customers on a call or in a Microsoft Teams meeting.
Sellers will be presented with suggested resources like talking points, product and pricing details, and competitive battle cards to help enrich their conversationsas they happen.
These features will provide real time insights based on customer conversations to help sellers make the most of their customer interactions.
Learn more
With AI, natural language processing, and conversation intelligence seamlessly supporting sellers, we’re at a point where technology can truly revolutionize the sales process.
These game-changing capabilities are amazing to see in practice, but the best part is what comes nexthow organizations like yours deploy them in the real world. If you are not already a Dynamics 365 Sales customer and want to know more, start your free trial today.
