How to Upgrade VMSS extension Service Fabric Node for SFC

Question

We are currently running a Windows Server 2016 VMSS with the Service Fabric Node extension version 1.0. As version 1.0 is slated for retirement, we need to upgrade to version 1.1.

We have encountered difficulties in performing this upgrade. Specifically:

1. When attempting to attach the "Service Fabric Node extension" to a newly created VMSS via the Azure portal, the extension is not available in the list.
2. When attempting to attach the extension to an existing VMSS using the Azure CLI, we receive an error stating that the extension can only be attached during VMSS creation.

Therefore, we require a concrete solution to either:

• Attach the Service Fabric Node extension version 1.1 to a newly created Windows Server 2016 VMSS.
• Upgrade the existing Service Fabric Node extension from version 1.0 to version 1.1 on our current Windows Server 2016 VMSS.

Additionally, please confirm the feasibility of using Service Fabric Node extension version 1.1 with Windows Server 2016 VMSS. We need to ensure compatibility before proceeding with the upgrade.

We request detailed instructions or documentation on how to perform this upgrade successfully.We are currently running a Windows Server 2016 VMSS with the Service Fabric Node extension version 1.0. As version 1.0 is slated for retirement, we need to upgrade to version 1.1.
