In this lab you will: Find the MachineSets created by the installer, one per availability zone Create your own MachineSet in a given zone, and scale it up Follow a Machine from the VM creation to the Node, and schedule a pod on it Understand how a MachineSet selects its Machines, with a classic mistake Complete this lab in 60 minutes: creating an Azure VM takes 5 to 10 minutes.
