How to enable cloud service exended support load balancing rule Session persistence?

Question

I have a cloud service exended support.

It has 1 role with 2 instances.

I want to change the load balancer to use Client IP Session persistence.

When I go to the load balance and choose the Client IP as the Session persistence under the Load balancing rules.

When I click save, it will fail to save with the following error message:

Failed to save load balancer rule 'DispatchWorker.TicketServer'. Error: Load balancers with SKU Classic cannot be updated using PUT LoadBalancer operation. Use PUT Microsoft.Compute/cloudServices instead.

I dont see how i can use the PUT Microsoft.Compute/cloudServices to enable the Session persistence.

need your help,

thanks in advance.

Hi, your best bet is to open up a Support Case with Microsoft directly.

The reason for this is there are some complexities with how Classic resources are managed.

If you wanted to try it yourself, this is what I would attempt:

• Try moving the resource into Bicep - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.compute/2020-10-01-preview/cloudservices?pivots=deployment-language-bicep
• Try editing the resource directly: https://resources.azure.com/

Attempt these in a test environment; obviously, moving to an ARM resource(from Classic) is preferred.
