Does anyone know how to scale an azure cloud service by memory/RAM usage?I have a medium VM and the cpu barely goes over 20% but the memory (when load testing etc) gets pretty high. I can see how to do it for webapps but not cloud services. Any ideas or suggestions?

You cannot scale a cloud service by memory usage.

You can only scale by CPU usage or by queue length. (or a combination of both using the Service Management REST API - Info on autoscale: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn510374.aspx)
