FY26_Azure VM Scale Set Infrastructure Automation

This offering delivers a secure, scalable, and production-ready Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) platform built on Microsoft-recommended best practices.

The solution enables organizations to deploy highly available, auto-scaling application workloads using VM Scale Sets, with Azure Application Gateway as secure ingress and Azure SQL Database as the backend data layer.

It integrates DevOps-driven CI/CD pipelines, automated infrastructure provisioning (Terraform), and controlled patching strategies, ensuring consistent, secure, and repeatable deployments.

Designed with security, governance, and operational efficiency in mind, this solution supports enterprise workloads and aligns with compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.
