Property values

virtualMachineScaleSets/virtualMachines

Name Description Value
name The resource name

See how to set names and types for child resources in Bicep.		 string (required)
location Resource location string (required)
tags Resource tags Dictionary of tag names and values. See Tags in templates
parent In Bicep, you can specify the parent resource for a child resource. You only need to add this property when the child resource is declared outside of the parent resource.

For more information, see Child resource outside parent resource.		 Symbolic name for resource of type: virtualMachineScaleSets
identity The identity of the virtual machine, if configured. VirtualMachineIdentity
plan Specifies information about the marketplace image used to create the virtual machine. This element is only used for marketplace images. Before you can use a marketplace image from an API, you must enable the image for programmatic use. In the Azure portal, find the marketplace image that you want to use and then click Want to deploy programmatically, Get Started ->. Enter any required information and then click Save. Plan
properties Describes the properties of a virtual machine scale set virtual machine. VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProperties

VirtualMachineIdentity

Name Description Value
type The type of identity used for the virtual machine. The type 'SystemAssigned, UserAssigned' includes both an implicitly created identity and a set of user assigned identities. The type 'None' will remove any identities from the virtual machine. 'None'
'SystemAssigned'
'SystemAssigned, UserAssigned'
'UserAssigned'
userAssignedIdentities The list of user identities associated with the Virtual Machine. The user identity dictionary key references will be ARM resource ids in the form: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/{identityName}'. UserAssignedIdentities

UserAssignedIdentities

Name Description Value
{customized property} UserAssignedIdentitiesValue

UserAssignedIdentitiesValue

This object doesn't contain any properties to set during deployment. All properties are ReadOnly.

Plan

Name Description Value
name The plan ID. string
product Specifies the product of the image from the marketplace. This is the same value as Offer under the imageReference element. string
promotionCode The promotion code. string
publisher The publisher ID. string

VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProperties

Name Description Value
additionalCapabilities Specifies additional capabilities enabled or disabled on the virtual machine in the scale set. For instance: whether the virtual machine has the capability to support attaching managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type. AdditionalCapabilities
availabilitySet Specifies information about the availability set that the virtual machine should be assigned to. Virtual machines specified in the same availability set are allocated to different nodes to maximize availability. For more information about availability sets, see Availability sets overview. For more information on Azure planned maintenance, see Maintenance and updates for Virtual Machines in Azure. Currently, a VM can only be added to availability set at creation time. An existing VM cannot be added to an availability set. SubResource
diagnosticsProfile Specifies the boot diagnostic settings state. Minimum api-version: 2015-06-15. DiagnosticsProfile
hardwareProfile Specifies the hardware settings for the virtual machine. HardwareProfile
licenseType Specifies that the image or disk that is being used was licensed on-premises.

Possible values for Windows Server operating system are:

Windows_Client

Windows_Server

Possible values for Linux Server operating system are:

RHEL_BYOS (for RHEL)

SLES_BYOS (for SUSE)

For more information, see Azure Hybrid Use Benefit for Windows Server

Azure Hybrid Use Benefit for Linux Server

Minimum api-version: 2015-06-15		 string
networkProfile Specifies the network interfaces of the virtual machine. NetworkProfile
networkProfileConfiguration Specifies the network profile configuration of the virtual machine. VirtualMachineScaleSetVMNetworkProfileConfiguration
osProfile Specifies the operating system settings for the virtual machine. OSProfile
protectionPolicy Specifies the protection policy of the virtual machine. VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProtectionPolicy
securityProfile Specifies the Security related profile settings for the virtual machine. SecurityProfile
storageProfile Specifies the storage settings for the virtual machine disks. StorageProfile
userData UserData for the VM, which must be base-64 encoded. Customer should not pass any secrets in here. Minimum api-version: 2021-03-01 string

AdditionalCapabilities

Name Description Value
hibernationEnabled The flag that enables or disables hibernation capability on the VM. bool
ultraSSDEnabled The flag that enables or disables a capability to have one or more managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type on the VM or VMSS. Managed disks with storage account type UltraSSD_LRS can be added to a virtual machine or virtual machine scale set only if this property is enabled. bool

SubResource

Name Description Value
id Resource Id string

DiagnosticsProfile

Name Description Value
bootDiagnostics Boot Diagnostics is a debugging feature which allows you to view Console Output and Screenshot to diagnose VM status. NOTE: If storageUri is being specified then ensure that the storage account is in the same region and subscription as the VM. You can easily view the output of your console log. Azure also enables you to see a screenshot of the VM from the hypervisor. BootDiagnostics

BootDiagnostics

Name Description Value
enabled Whether boot diagnostics should be enabled on the Virtual Machine. bool
storageUri Uri of the storage account to use for placing the console output and screenshot. If storageUri is not specified while enabling boot diagnostics, managed storage will be used. string

HardwareProfile

Name Description Value
vmSize Specifies the size of the virtual machine. The enum data type is currently deprecated and will be removed by December 23rd 2023. The recommended way to get the list of available sizes is using these APIs: List all available virtual machine sizes in an availability set, List all available virtual machine sizes in a region, List all available virtual machine sizes for resizing. For more information about virtual machine sizes, see Sizes for virtual machines. The available VM sizes depend on region and availability set. 'Basic_A0'

detachOption Specifies the detach behavior to be used while detaching a disk or which is already in the process of detachment from the virtual machine. Supported values: ForceDetach. detachOption: ForceDetach is applicable only for managed data disks. If a previous detachment attempt of the data disk did not complete due to an unexpected failure from the virtual machine and the disk is still not released then use force-detach as a last resort option to detach the disk forcibly from the VM. All writes might not have been flushed when using this detach behavior. This feature is still in preview mode and is not supported for VirtualMachineScaleSet. To force-detach a data disk update toBeDetached to 'true' along with setting detachOption: 'ForceDetach'. 'ForceDetach'

Major, Minor, and Build are decimal numbers. Specify 'latest' to use the latest version of an image available at deploy time. Even if you use 'latest', the VM image will not automatically update after deploy time even if a new version becomes available. Please do not use field 'version' for gallery image deployment, gallery image should always use 'id' field for deployment, to use 'latest' version of gallery image, just set '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/galleries/{galleryName}/images/{imageName}' in the 'id' field without version input. string
