Bicep resource definition

The virtualMachineScaleSets/virtualmachines resource type can be deployed with operations that target:

• Resource groups - See resource group deployment commands

For a list of changed properties in each API version, see change log.

Property values

virtualMachineScaleSets/virtualmachines

Name	Description	Value
name	The resource name See how to set names and types for child resources in Bicep.	string (required)
location	Resource location	string (required)
tags	Resource tags	Dictionary of tag names and values. See Tags in templates
parent	In Bicep, you can specify the parent resource for a child resource. You only need to add this property when the child resource is declared outside of the parent resource. For more information, see Child resource outside parent resource.	Symbolic name for resource of type: virtualMachineScaleSets
plan	Specifies information about the marketplace image used to create the virtual machine. This element is only used for marketplace images. Before you can use a marketplace image from an API, you must enable the image for programmatic use. In the Azure portal, find the marketplace image that you want to use and then click Want to deploy programmatically, Get Started ->. Enter any required information and then click Save.	Plan
properties	Describes the properties of a virtual machine scale set virtual machine.	VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProperties

Plan

Name	Description	Value
name	The plan ID.	string
product	Specifies the product of the image from the marketplace. This is the same value as Offer under the imageReference element.	string
promotionCode	The promotion code.	string
publisher	The publisher ID.	string

VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProperties

Name	Description	Value
additionalCapabilities	Specifies additional capabilities enabled or disabled on the virtual machine in the scale set. For instance: whether the virtual machine has the capability to support attaching managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type.	AdditionalCapabilities
availabilitySet	Specifies information about the availability set that the virtual machine should be assigned to. Virtual machines specified in the same availability set are allocated to different nodes to maximize availability. For more information about availability sets, see Availability sets overview. For more information on Azure planned maintenance, see Maintenance and updates for Virtual Machines in Azure Currently, a VM can only be added to availability set at creation time. An existing VM cannot be added to an availability set.	SubResource
diagnosticsProfile	Specifies the boot diagnostic settings state. Minimum api-version: 2015-06-15.	DiagnosticsProfile
hardwareProfile	Specifies the hardware settings for the virtual machine.	HardwareProfile
licenseType	Specifies that the image or disk that is being used was licensed on-premises. Possible values for Windows Server operating system are: Windows_Client Windows_Server Possible values for Linux Server operating system are: RHEL_BYOS (for RHEL) SLES_BYOS (for SUSE) For more information, see Azure Hybrid Use Benefit for Windows Server Azure Hybrid Use Benefit for Linux Server Minimum api-version: 2015-06-15	string
networkProfile	Specifies the network interfaces of the virtual machine.	NetworkProfile
networkProfileConfiguration	Specifies the network profile configuration of the virtual machine.	VirtualMachineScaleSetVMNetworkProfileConfiguration
osProfile	Specifies the operating system settings for the virtual machine.	OSProfile
protectionPolicy	Specifies the protection policy of the virtual machine.	VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProtectionPolicy
securityProfile	Specifies the Security related profile settings for the virtual machine.	SecurityProfile
storageProfile	Specifies the storage settings for the virtual machine disks.	StorageProfile
userData	UserData for the VM, which must be base-64 encoded. Customer should not pass any secrets in here. Minimum api-version: 2021-03-01	string

AdditionalCapabilities

Name	Description	Value
ultraSSDEnabled	The flag that enables or disables a capability to have one or more managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type on the VM or VMSS. Managed disks with storage account type UltraSSD_LRS can be added to a virtual machine or virtual machine scale set only if this property is enabled.	bool

SubResource

Name	Description	Value
id	Resource Id	string

DiagnosticsProfile

Name	Description	Value
bootDiagnostics	Boot Diagnostics is a debugging feature which allows you to view Console Output and Screenshot to diagnose VM status. You can easily view the output of your console log. Azure also enables you to see a screenshot of the VM from the hypervisor.	BootDiagnostics

BootDiagnostics

Name	Description	Value
enabled	Whether boot diagnostics should be enabled on the Virtual Machine.	bool
storageUri	Uri of the storage account to use for placing the console output and screenshot. If storageUri is not specified while enabling boot diagnostics, managed storage will be used.	string

HardwareProfile

Name	Description	Value
vmSize	Specifies the size of the virtual machine. The enum data type is currently deprecated and will be removed by December 23rd 2023.

location	Resource location	string (required)
tags	Resource tags	Dictionary of tag names and values. See Tags in templates
plan	Specifies information about the marketplace image used to create the virtual machine. This element is only used for marketplace images. Before you can use a marketplace image from an API, you must enable the image for programmatic use. In the Azure portal, find the marketplace image that you want to use and then click Want to deploy programmatically, Get Started ->. Enter any required information and then click Save.	Plan
properties	Describes the properties of a virtual machine scale set virtual machine.	VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProperties

Plan

Name	Description	Value
name	The plan ID.	string

VirtualMachineScaleSetVMProperties

Name	Description	Value
additionalCapabilities	Specifies additional capabilities enabled or disabled on the virtual machine in the scale set. For instance: whether the virtual machine has the capability to support attaching managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type.	AdditionalCapabilities
availabilitySet	Specifies information about the availability set that the virtual machine should be assigned to. Virtual machines specified in the same availability set are allocated to different nodes to maximize availability. For more information about availability sets, see Availability sets overview. For more information on Azure planned maintenance, see Maintenance and updates for Virtual Machines in Azure Currently, a VM can only be added to availability set at creation time. An existing VM cannot be added to an availability set.	SubResource
diagnosticsProfile	Specifies the boot diagnostic settings state. Minimum api-version: 2015-06-15.	DiagnosticsProfile
hardwareProfile	Specifies the hardware settings for the virtual machine.	HardwareProfile
licenseType	Specifies that the image or disk that is being used was licensed on-premises. Possible values for Windows Server operating system are: Windows_Client Windows_Server Possible values for Linux Server operating system are: RHEL_BYOS (for RHEL) SLES_BYOS (for SUSE) For more information, see Azure Hybrid Use Benefit for Windows Server Azure Hybrid Use Benefit for Linux Server Minimum api-version: 2015-06-15	string
networkProfile	Specifies the network interfaces of the virtual machine.	NetworkProfile

AdditionalCapabilities

Name	Description	Value
ultraSSDEnabled	The flag that enables or disables a capability to have one or more managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type on the VM or VMSS. Managed disks with storage account type UltraSSD_LRS can be added to a virtual machine or virtual machine scale set only if this property is enabled.	bool

SubResource

Name	Description	Value
id	Resource Id	string

DiagnosticsProfile

Name	Description	Value
