I have an azure scale set that runs a service communicating to server vms present outside of the scale set. traffic to scale set is coming from an Azure load balancer.

Problem: when requests present in a VM of scale set is less than a threshold value I want the load balancer to stop sending new requests to this VM and the scale set to delete the VM.

I am not sure how to configure the load balancer to stop sending new requests to this VM.

    Hi,

    The load balancing method based on a given threshold is not supported in Azure Load balancer today. What you can potentially do is to add scale rule based on the threshold to reduce the load on a specific server.
