Minimum elastic instance count Azure App Service


Currently, I am running a Dockerized Java Spring Boot application using Azure App Service. The App Service plan configuration is B1. When I display the App Service in JSON View, I notice a parameter called minimumElasticInstanceCount with a value of 0 in siteConfig. I would like to understand what this parameter means. Could someone please explain it to me?

Thank you for all your help.


Solution

  • minimumElasticInstanceCount is a parameter used in Autoscaling. It is used to define the number of instances that should be available at the minimum when the load is very low. You can see more about autoscaling at Microsoft TechCommunity - Apps on Azure Blog
