Auto-scaling, combined with power management, can reduce the cost of using Azure access nodes to back up VMs. With auto-scaling, the Commvault software deploys access nodes in Azure regions only when they are needed, and then uses power management (enabled by default) to power off and decommission the access nodes soon after you use them.
To configure auto-scaling, do the following:
-
Create an empty auto-scaling server group
-
Configure auto-scaling for the hypervisor
