This links seems to explain more about what this is for: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/agile/archive/2011/08/23/autoscaling-windows-azure-applications.aspx
It seems like this is meant to intelligently scale up on Azure if you're exceeding capacity, and to scale down to save money for the operator if the capacity is no longer required. Though that's probably a pretty layman assessment, I'm by no means an expert on Azure.

It looks like a good feature for monitoring and operations. Without this feature, I assume that Azure has a setting that allows a certain maximum number of instances to be created.
