Explanation

In Azure Monitor, rules-based scaling in the scale-out method settings use metrics and schedules to determine when to add or remove resources to run an application. These rules include minimum and maximum resource levels, and when the conditions are met, one or more autoscale actions are triggered. For example, you can scale out an application by adding VMs when the average CPU usage per VM is above a certain percentage, or scale it back by removing VMs when CPU usage drops below a certain percentage.
