Create a VMss using python sdk.

Question

I have been trying to create Virtual machine scale set using python sdk, the following API is used

compute_client.virtual_machine_scale_sets.begin_create_or_update

However i am getting error "Code: NetworkApiVersionMustBeSpecifiedWithNetworkInterfaceConfigurations

Message: Network api version in network profile of virtual machine /subscriptions/xyzzzzzd/resourceGroups/hjmjkhjh/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/SdaCareVss_495396a6 must be specified if network interface configurations are specified."

I checked the constructor for network profile and don't see api-version as properties. but still added and the error exists, please assist.

PFB the network profile code under the virtualMachine Profile.

"networkProfile": {
                        "networkInterfaceConfigurations": [
                            {

Hello Anjali Gobari
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

The error message is indicating that the API version of the network profile in your virtual machine scale set definition is missing. You need to specify the API version for the network profile in order to create the virtual machine scale set.

To resolve the error "NetworkApiVersionMustBeSpecifiedWithNetworkInterfaceConfigurations", you need to specify the API version for the network profile in the VirtualMachineScaleSet model. You can add the following line in the network profile properties:

apiVersion": "2020-06-01",

The updated network profile code would look like below:

"networkProfile": { 
"networkInterfaceConfigurations": [ 
{
"properties": { 
"apiVersion": "2020-06-01",
"primary": True, 
"enableAcceleratedNetworking": False, 
"disableTcpStateTracking": False,

Hope this helps.
