Automatically run custom scripts when starting the VM ?

Question

I use the following command to run when creating the VM. But when the VM reboots, it no longer executes.
How to set the script to run each time the VM is started.

az vmss extension set \
--vmss-name VM1 \
--resource-group myResourceGroup \
--publisher http://Microsoft.Azure.Extensions \
--version 2.0 \
--name CustomScript \
--settings '{"commandToExecute":"sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=512"}'

Thanks!

Hello,

You need to upload your scripts inside a storage account or Github, then get the URL. Modify the procedure so that it access the location and get the script when the VM reboots

I tried like this, but it doesn't seem to work.
--settings '{"fileUris": ["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sirwin11/ABC/master/script.sh"],"commandToExecute": "./script.sh"}'

The usage is bit tricky. Ty as following. Save the script inside your storage account share

--settings '{"fileUris": ["http://pw1.file.core.windows.net/pw2/script.sh"],
"commandToExecute": "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File script.sh"}'

Thanks,
