#Create the VMSS

The following complex example creates a VMSS. The first command creates a resource group with the specified name and location. The second command

uses the New-AzureRmStorageAccount cmdlet to create a storage account. The third command then uses the Get-AzureRmStorageAccount cmdlet to get the

storage account created in the second command and stores the result in the $STOAccount variable. The fifth command uses the

New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig cmdlet to create a subnet and stores the result in the variable named $SubNet. The sixth command uses the

New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork cmdlet to create a virtual network and stores the result in the variable named $VNet. The seventh command uses the

Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork to get information about the virtual network created in the sixth command and stores the information in the variable

named $VNet. The eighth and ninth command uses the New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress and Get- AzureRmPublicIpAddress to create and get information from

that public IP address. The commands store the information in the variable named $PubIP. The tenth command uses the New-

AzureRmLoadBalancerFrontendIpConfig cmdlet to create a frontend load balancer and stores the result in the variable named $Frontend. The eleventh

command uses the New-AzureRmLoadBalancerBackendAddressPoolConfig to create a backend address pool configuration and stores the result in the

variable named $BackendAddressPool. The twelfth command uses the New-AzureRmLoadBalancerProbeConfig to create a probe and stores the probe

information in the variable named $Probe. The thirteenth command uses the New-AzureRmLoadBalancerInboundNatPoolConfig cmdlet to create a load

balancer inbound network address translation (NAT) pool configuration. The fourteenth command uses the New-AzureRmLoadBalancerRuleConfig to create

a load balancer rule configuration and stores the result in the variable named $LBRule. The fifteenth command uses the New-AzureRmLoadBalancer

cmdlet to create a load balancer and stores the result in the variable named $ActualLb. The sixteenth command uses the Get-AzureRmLoadBalancer to

get information about the load balancer that was created in the fifteenth command and stores the information in the variable named $ExpectedLb.

The seventeenth command uses the New-AzureRmVmssIPConfig cmdlet to create a VMSS IP configuration and stores the information in the variable named

$IPCfg. The eighteenth command uses the New-AzureRmVmssConfig cmdlet to create a VMSS configuration object and stores the result in the variable

named $VMSS. The nineteenth command uses the New-AzureRmVmss cmdlet to create the VMSS.
