Microsoft's Windows Azure Cloud services can scale out your hosted applications as load increases, but what if you need to take control of that process?  In this video excerpt from Zoiner Tejada's new course Elastic Scaling on Windows Azure you'll see how to create your own DataCollection process and hook that up to the scaling rules for your Azure deployment.  In the full course Zoiner covers scaling versus throttling, reactive autoscaling rules, and creating custom rule operands.
