Does your Azure App have Scaling Bottlenecks? Azure Load Testing can help!

The move away from the traditional model of hosting our tiered applications on VMs to a more Serverless/Cloud Native posture means less admin overhead when it comes to maintaining the underlying Infra and we just need to pick the correct SKU and set up scaling …. 

Or does it? Scaling isn't linear across all Azure PAAS Services, so we need to ensure that we have the correct SKU's and baselines defined for each of those services based on the expected load.

In this session, I'll look at how scaling times can differ across services, getting those auto-scaling rules right, and how Azure Load Testing can help set that baseline.
