We are using following feature for regular instances - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-terminate-notification. Documentations says it is not supported by spot instances and the rest api claims the same "Virtual Machine Scale Sets with extension scheduledEventsProfile must have property priority set to Regular". Is there any workaround for that? We wish to have notification of TERMINATE event before actual termination.
That feature is crucial for connection draining. Any ideas?
