Hi Geoff, Thanks for your support,
As you suggested I have disabled dynamically scalable option in my template and stop/start the VM it is showing actual provisioning of RAM. as you mention its a bug on ACS do you have any idea when will we have this bug fixed ? as I understand the dynamically scalable correctly then, I am wondering if my VMs hits peak usage then it will not automatically adjust the resources. Please correct me if my understanding is right.
