Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.
The installation of extensions on virtual machines in Azure does not require downtime.
In most cases, installing or updating Azure extensions on virtual machines in Azure does not require downtime, as the extension installation process happens in the background without any impact to the running VM.
However, there may be certain scenarios where the extension installation or update may require a reboot of the VM, which could result in some downtime. It's always recommended to review the documentation for the specific extension to understand the impact of installation or updates on your VMs.
Hope this helps.
