Scale out

During Topology design creation you can create a scaling group. A scaling group represents a scalable stack. There can be multiple scalable groups in an application design.

You can scale out after the deployment is complete. When you scale out, the full stack is replicated.

For example, the image below shows the web tier as a logical group named webServerGroup.

 

 

 

 

This group was scaled in the Development stage to one group and in Testing it is scaled to two groups in the image below.
