How to deploy Hangfire jobs on Azure?

There is Web Api app running on Azure a scheduler job at 5:00AM that creates a hangfire jobs. At this time the Web Api app has only one available instance that is configure to scale out based on CPU metrics. These running hangfire jobs increase the CPU percentage to the limit and create new available instances of the api app. How can I configure Hangfire to deploy jobs on all the available?

The Azure job would in the default queue by default. If you run multiple server instances the job would be distributed to available instances. For testing I just adding my tasks as follows: Enumerable.Range(11 30).ForEach(i => { BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => Console.WriteLine($[Task-{i}] Getting Started with HangFire!)); }); Then processing the jobs in a console application as follows: using (var server = new BackgroundJobServer()) { Console.WriteLine(Hangfire Server started. Press any key to exit...); Console.ReadKey(); }
