Azure autoscale - anticipate autoscale manually

Question

We have an autoscale based on CPU percentage average.

Sometimes I know when the CPU will increase and I'd like to anticipate the VM deploy.

Is there a way to start the autoscale manually (but NOT disabling autoscale) using, for example, an API call?

Thank you,

I found a simple soluzione using Azure CLI:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/tutorial-create-and-manage-cli

This is the command:

az login
. . .
. . .
az vmss scale --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myScaleSet --new-capacity 4

very easy ;-)
