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.

properties.additionalCapabilities

AdditionalCapabilities

Specifies additional capabilities enabled or disabled on the Virtual Machines in the Virtual Machine Scale Set. For instance: whether the Virtual Machines have the capability to support attaching managed data disks with UltraSSD_LRS storage account type.

properties.automaticRepairsPolicy

AutomaticRepairsPolicy

Policy for automatic repairs.

properties.doNotRunExtensionsOnOverprovisionedVMs

boolean

When Overprovision is enabled, extensions are launched only on the requested number of VMs which are finally kept. This property will hence ensure that the extensions do not run on the extra overprovisioned VMs.

properties.overprovision

boolean

Specifies whether the Virtual Machine Scale Set should be overprovisioned.

properties.platformFaultDomainCount

integer

Fault Domain count for each placement group.

properties.proximityPlacementGroup

    VirtualMachineScaleSetScaleInRules

    The rules to be followed when scaling-in a virtual machine scale set.

    Possible values are:

    Default When a virtual machine scale set is scaled in, the scale set will first be balanced across zones if it is a zonal scale set. Then, it will be balanced across Fault Domains as far as possible. Within each Fault Domain, the virtual machines chosen for removal will be the newest ones that are not protected from scale-in.

    OldestVM When a virtual machine scale set is being scaled-in, the oldest virtual machines that are not protected from scale-in will be chosen for removal. For zonal virtual machine scale sets, the scale set will first be balanced across zones. Within each zone, the oldest virtual machines that are not protected will be chosen for removal.

    NewestVM When a virtual machine scale set is being scaled-in, the newest virtual machines that are not protected from scale-in will be chosen for removal. For zonal virtual machine scale sets, the scale set will first be balanced across zones. Within each zone, the newest virtual machines that are not protected will be chosen for removal.
