PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/{vmScaleSetName}?api-version=2024-07-01

URI Parameters

Name In Required Type Description
resourceGroupName
path True

string

The name of the resource group.

subscriptionId
path True

string

Subscription credentials which uniquely identify Microsoft Azure subscription. The subscription ID forms part of the URI for every service call.

vmScaleSetName
path True

string

The name of the VM scale set to create or update.

api-version
query True

string

Client Api Version.

Request Header

Name Required Type Description
If-Match

string

The ETag of the transformation. Omit this value to always overwrite the current resource. Specify the last-seen ETag value to prevent accidentally overwriting concurrent changes.

If-None-Match

string

Set to '*' to allow a new record set to be created, but to prevent updating an existing record set. Other values will result in error from server as they are not supported.

Request Body

Name Required Type Description
location True

string

Resource location

extendedLocation

ExtendedLocation

The extended location of the Virtual Machine Scale Set.

identity

VirtualMachineScaleSetIdentity

The identity of the virtual machine scale set, if configured.

plan

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.

properties.additionalCapabilities

AdditionalCapabilities

Specifies additional capabilities enabled or disabled on the Virtual Machines in the Virtual Machine Scale Set. For instance: whether the Virtual Machines have the capability to support attaching managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type.

properties.automaticRepairsPolicy

AutomaticRepairsPolicy

Policy for automatic repairs.

properties.constrainedMaximumCapacity

boolean

Optional property which must either be set to True or omitted.

properties.doNotRunExtensionsOnOverprovisionedVMs

boolean

When Overprovision is enabled, extensions are launched only on the requested number of VMs which are finally kept. This property will hence ensure that the extensions do not run on the extra overprovisioned VMs.

properties.hostGroup

SubResource

Specifies information about the dedicated host group that the virtual machine scale set resides in. Minimum api-version: 2020-06-01.

properties.orchestrationMode

OrchestrationMode

Specifies the orchestration mode for the virtual machine scale set.

properties.overprovision

boolean

Specifies whether the Virtual Machine Scale Set should be overprovisioned.

properties.platformFaultDomainCount

integer

Fault Domain count for each placement group.

properties.priorityMixPolicy

PriorityMixPolicy

Specifies the desired targets for mixing Spot and Regular priority VMs within the same VMSS Flex instance.

properties.proximityPlacementGroup

SubResource

Specifies information about the proximity placement group that the virtual machine scale set should be assigned to. Minimum api-version: 2018-04-01.

properties.resiliencyPolicy

ResiliencyPolicy

Policy for Resiliency

properties.scaleInPolicy

ScaleInPolicy

Specifies the policies applied when scaling in Virtual Machines in the Virtual Machine Scale Set.

properties.scheduledEventsPolicy

ScheduledEventsPolicy

The ScheduledEventsPolicy.

properties.singlePlacementGroup

boolean

When true this limits the scale set to a single placement group, of max size 100 virtual machines. NOTE: If singlePlacementGroup is true, it may be modified to false. However, if singlePlacementGroup is false, it may not be modified to true.

properties.skuProfile

SkuProfile

Specifies the sku profile for the virtual machine scale set.

properties.spotRestorePolicy

SpotRestorePolicy

Specifies the Spot Restore properties for the virtual machine scale set.

properties.upgradePolicy

UpgradePolicy

The upgrade policy.

properties.virtualMachineProfile

VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProfile

The virtual machine profile.

properties.zonalPlatformFaultDomainAlignMode

ZonalPlatformFaultDomainAlignMode

Specifies the align mode between Virtual Machine Scale Set compute and storage Fault Domain count.

properties.zoneBalance

boolean

Whether to force strictly even Virtual Machine distribution cross x-zones in case there is zone outage. zoneBalance property can only be set if the zones property of the scale set contains more than one zone. If there are no zones or only one zone specified, then zoneBalance property should not be set.

sku

Sku

The virtual machine scale set sku.

tags

object

Resource tags

zones

string[]

The virtual machine scale set zones.
