Folks,
I know it is in public preview, but i am testing and trying to find a way to install azure vm applications gallery from Powershell to multiple vm. I was able to create application Definition and able to install on vm by going to Extension+application but wondering if i can do through powershell ...https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/vm-applications-how-to?tabs=portal

i can get name of application through PS
(Get-AzGalleryApplication -GalleryName $GalleryName -ResourceGroupName $rgName).name

But can't figure it out how can install in vm. wondering if anyone has done or trying to do this.
thanks in advance

Answer 2

@Luke Murray , Thanks for your reply, it works perfectly. Is it possible to find out if vm has already specific vm application definition installed.
I don't see any query for get-AzVmGalleryApplication to query?? any thought or suggestion??

thanks in advance
