Based on this how-to for scaling Azure app services programmatically: Is it possible to scale Azure app services programmatically, I am trying to recreate this for Azure Cloud Services (classic), using the Azure.Management.Compute.ComputeManagementClient.

This is what I have so far. It works to a point, but I can never get my cloud services listed from the API:

Dim credentials = SdkContext.AzureCredentialsFactory.FromServicePrincipal(Client_Id, clientSecret, tenant_Id, AzureEnvironment.AzureGlobalCloud)
Dim client = New Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.ComputeManagementClient(credentials)
client.SubscriptionId = subscription_id
Dim servicesclient = client.CloudServices
Dim cloudservices = servicesclient.ListWithHttpMessagesAsync("MyResourceGroupName").Result.Body

Everything seems to work as expected to this point. If I put in the wrong resource group name, I get an error that the resource group does not exist. But when I put in the right resource group name, the expected list of cloud services comes back empty. It's possible there is some sort of permissioning issue, although I have checked that fairly carefully. Or is the CloudServices API here different than my 'classic' cloud services? Or is there something else I'm missing?

I also recommand you use restapi to scale your roles.

I don't find offical restapi on this site. I found scale roles api by F12 when I click save button.

Tips

If you need other restapi functions, you can also use this method to find them quickly when the official api is not found.
