We have Orchestrator Cloud and run our jobs on 5 Virtual Machines on Azure.
Does anyone have experience with using “scale sets” for deploying VMs?
This can lower cost, by starting VMs only when you have a job to run.
E.g. if you have 5 unattended licenses, you can start max 5 VMs on demand.
This means you don’t pay Azure for the VM when it’s not used, during night time for example.
Is Orchestrator compatible with scale sets?
Hey @Ferdinand
UiPath Orchestrator Cloud doesn’t natively control the lifecycle of Azure VMs. If you want to use Azure VM Scale Sets to spin up VMs only when needed, it can be possible, but it requires additional configuration and integration.
UiPath Automation Cloud offers Elastic Robot Orchestration provides similar functionality but works only with UiPath’s own cloud robots. This works similarly to Azure Scale Sets.
