"value": "**Applies to:** ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Windows VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets ✔️ Uniform scale sets\nThis article describes best practices to be followed while using Azure VM Image Builder (AIB).\n * To prevent image templates from being accidentally deleted, use resource locks at the image template resource level. For more information, see [Protect your Azure resources with a lock](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/lock-resources>).\n * Make sure your image templates are set up for disaster recovery by following [reliability recommendation for AIB](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/reliability/reliability-image-builder?toc=/azure/virtual-machines/toc.json&bc=/azure/virtual-machines/breadcrumb/toc.json>).\n * Set up AIB [triggers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<image-builder-triggers-how-to>) to automatically rebuild your images and keep them updated.\n * Enable [VM Boot Optimization](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<vm-boot-optimization>) in AIB to improve the create time for your VMs.\n * Specify your own Build VM and ACI subnets for a tighter control over deployment of networking related resource by AIB in your subscription. Specifying these subnets also leads to faster image build times. See [template reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<linux/image-builder-json#vnetconfig-optional>) to learn more about specifying these options.\n * Follow the [principle of least privilege](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/entra/identity-platform/secure-least-privileged-access>) for your AIB resources.\n * **Image Template** : A principal that has access to your image template is able to run, delete, or tamper with it. Having this access, in turn, allows the principal to change the images created by that image template.\n * **Staging Resource Group** : AIB uses a staging resource group in your subscription to customize your VM image. You must consider this resource group as sensitive and restrict access to this resource group only to required principals. Since the process of customizing your image takes place in this resource group, a principal with access to the resource group is able to compromise the image building process - for example, by injecting malware into the image. AIB also delegates privileges associated with the Template identity and Build VM identity to resources in this resource group. Hence, a principal with access to the resource group is able to get access to these identities. Further, AIB maintains a copy of your customizer artifacts in this resource group. Hence, a principal with access to the resource group is able to inspect these copies.\n * **Template Identity** : A principal with access to your template identity is able to access all resources that the identity has permissions for. This includes your customizer artifacts (for example, shell and PowerShell scripts), your distribution targets (for example, an Azure Compute Gallery image version), and your Virtual Network. Hence, you must provide only the minimum required privileges to this identity.\n * **Build VM Identity** : A principal with access to your build VM identity is able to access all resources that the identity has permissions for. This includes any artifacts and Virtual Network that you might be using from within the Build VM using this identity. Hence, you must provide only the minimum required privileges to this identity.\n * If you're distributing to Azure Compute Gallery (ACG), then also follow [best practices for ACG resources](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<azure-compute-gallery#best-practices>)."

[Next steps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#next-steps>)\n\nVirtual machine scale sets allow you to define a scaling profile or template, which specifies the properties of virtual machine instances. Examples of properties set in the virtual machine scaling profile include:\n * VM Image\n * Admin credentials\n * Network interface settings\n * Load balancer backend pool\n * OS and Data disk settings\n\nWhen you increase the capacity or instance count of the scale set, the scale set will add new virtual machines to the set based on the configuration defined in the profile. Scale sets with scaling profile are also eligible for orchestrations such as [reimaging](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/</en-us/rest/api/compute/virtual-machine-scale-sets/reimage>), [rolling upgrades](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/</en-us/rest/api/compute/virtual-machine-scale-set-rolling-upgrades>), [instance repair](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<virtual-machine-scale-sets-automatic-instance-repairs>), and [automatic OS updates](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<virtual-machine-scale-sets-automatic-upgrade>).\nImportant\nVirtual machine scaling profile settings are required for scale sets in Uniform Orchestration Mode, and optional for scale sets in Flexible Orchestration Mode.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#create-a-scale-set-with-a-scaling-profile>)"

For more information about this change and what actions you should take, go to [Breaking Change for VMSS PowerShell/CLI Customers - Microsoft Community Hub](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<https:/techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-compute-blog/breaking-change-for-vmss-powershell-cli-customers/ba-p/3818295>)\nVirtual machine scale sets in Flexible Orchestration Mode can optionally be created without a virtual machine scaling profile. This configuration is similar to creating and deploying an Availability Set in that you add to the set by manually creating virtual machine instances and adding them to the set. It's useful to create a scale set without a scaling profile when:\n * You need complete control over all VM properties.\n * You need to follow your own VM naming conventions.\n * You want to add different types of VMs to the same scale set.\n * You need to control the placement of virtual machines into a specific availability zone or fault domain.\n\nExpand table\nFeature | Virtual machine scale sets (no scaling profile) | Availability Sets\n---|---|---\nMaximum capacity | 1000 | 200\nSupports Availability Zones | Yes | No\nMaximum Aligned Fault Domains Count | 3 | 3\nAdd new VM to set | Yes | Yes\nAdd VM to specific fault domain | Yes | No\nMaximum Update Domain count | N/A.

Navigate to the **Create a Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS)** blade.\n 2. Set your resource group, scale set name, region, availability zone, and orchestration mode.\n 3. In the **Scaling** section, select **No scaling profile**.\n 4. Complete the **Advanced** and **Tags** section before selecting the **Review + create** button.\n\nBy default, the Azure CLI will create a scale set with a scaling profile.

These legacy VMs can be migrated into new VM series, such as NVsv3 and NVasv4, for better performance with reduced cost. The NVsv3 VM series is powered by Nvidia M60 GPUs. The NVasv4 series is powered by AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 GPUs.\nThe main differences between the NV and NV_Promo series and the newer NVsv3 and NVasv4 series are:\n * Improved performance.\n * Support for Premium storage.\n * The option to choose from a fractional GPU size to multi-GPU configurations.\n\nBoth the NVsv3 and NVasv4 series have more modern cores and greater capacity.\nThe following section summarizes the differences between the legacy NV series and the NVsv3 and NVv4 series.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#nvsv3-series>)"

"value": "When you create a virtual machine in the Azure portal, a public IP resource for the virtual machine is automatically created. Your public IP address is shown in VM overview page.\n\nIf you select the IP address you can see more information on it. Check to make sure your **IP Assignment** is set to **Static**. A static IP address will not change if the VM or resource reboots or shuts down.\n\nIf your IP Address is not static, you will need to create an FQDN.\n 1. Select your VM in the portal.\n 2. In the left menu, select **Properties**\n 3. Under **Public IP address\\DNS name label** , select your IP address. The **Configuration** page will open.\n 4. Under **DNS name label** , enter the prefix you want to use.\n 5. Select **Save** at the top of the page.\n 6. Select **Overview** in the left menu to return to the VM overview blade.\n 7. Verify that the _DNS name_ appears correctly.\n\nOpen a browser and enter your IP address or FQDN and verify that it shows the web content running on your VM.\nAfter verifying your static IP or FQDN, go to your domain provider and navigate to DNS settings. Add an _A record_ pointing to your Public IP Address or FQDN. For example, the procedure for the GoDaddy domain registrar is as follows:\n 1. Sign in and select the custom domain you want to use.\n 2. In the **Domains** section, select **Manage All** , then select **DNS | Manage Zones**.\n 3. For **Domain Name** , enter your custom domain, then select **Search**.\n 4. From the DNS Management page, select Add, then select A in the Type list.\n 5. Complete the fields of the A entry:\n * Type: Leave **A** selected.\n * Host: Enter **@**\n * Points to: Enter the Public IP Address or FQDN of your VM.\n * TTL: Leave one hour selected.\n 6. Select **Save**.\n\nThe A record entry is added to the DNS records table.\nAfter the record is created it usually takes about an hour for DNS propagate, but it can sometimes take up to 48 hours.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#next-steps>)"

For certain container workloads, you might want to stop a long-running container group after a defined period to save on costs.\n_When a container group enters the Stopped state, it terminates and recycles all the containers in the group. It doesn't preserve container state._\nWhen the containers are recycled, the [resources](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<container-instances-container-groups#resource-allocation>) are deallocated and billing stops for the container group.\nThe stop action has no effect if the container group already terminated (is in either a Succeeded or Failed state). For example, a container group with run-once container tasks that ran successfully terminates in the Succeeded state. Attempts to stop the group in that state don't change the state.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#start>)"

If the container image for any container is updated, a new image is pulled.\nStarting a container group begins a new deployment with the same container configuration. This action can help you quickly reuse a known container group configuration that works as you expect. You don't have to create a new container group to run the same workload.\nThis actions starts all containers in a container group. You can't start a specific container in the group.\nAfter you manually start or restart a container group, the container group runs according to the configured restart policy.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#restart>)"

Linux distributions are the only environment for this scenario.\nNote\nWe're using variables throughout the article.

The detailed status of the encryption process appears in JSON format.\n\n\nAnother way to validate the encryption status is by looking at the **Disk settings** section.\n\nNote\nThis status means the disks have encryption settings stamped, not that they were actually encrypted at the OS level.\nBy design, the disks are stamped first and encrypted later. If the encryption process fails, the disks may end up stamped but not encrypted.\nTo confirm if the disks are truly encrypted, you can double check the encryption of each disk at the OS level.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/<#powershell>)"

Azure Backup supports application-consistent backups for both Windows and Linux VMs. Azure Backup creates recovery points that are stored in geo-redundant recovery vaults. When you restore from a recovery point, you can restore entire VM or specific files.\nFor a simple, hands-on introduction to Azure Backup for Azure VMs, see the [Azure Backup quickstart](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/backup/quick-backup-vm-portal>).\nFor more information on how Azure Backup works, see [Plan your VM backup infrastructure in Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-vms-introduction>)\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#azure-site-recovery>)"

You can configure Azure Site Recovery for your VMs so that your applications are recoverable in matter of minutes with a single click. You can replicate to an Azure region of your choice, since recovery isn't restricted to paired regions.\nYou can run disaster-recovery drills with on-demand test failovers, without affecting your production workloads or ongoing replication. Create recovery plans to orchestrate failover and failback of the entire application running on multiple VMs. The recovery plan feature is integrated with Azure Automation runbooks.\nYou can get started by [replicating your virtual machines](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-quickstart>).\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#managed-snapshots>)"

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "In development and test environments, snapshots provide a quick and simple option for backing up VMs that use managed disks. A managed snapshot is a full, read-only copy of a managed disk. Snapshots exist independently of their source disks.\nSnapshots can be used to create new managed disks when a VM is rebuilt. They're billed based on the used portion of the disk. For example, if you create a snapshot of a managed disk with provisioned capacity of 64 GB and actual used data size of 10 GB, snapshot will be billed only for the used data size of 10 GB.\nFor more information on creating snapshots, see:\n * [Create copy of VHD stored as a Managed Disk](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<windows/snapshot-copy-managed-disk>)\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#virtual-machine-restore-points>)"

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "At this time, you can use Azure REST APIs to back up and restore your VMs. This approach is most often used by independent software vendor (ISVs) or organizations with a relatively small number of VMs to manage.\nYou can use the API to create a VM restore point collection. The restore point collection itself contains individual restore points for specific VMs. Each restore point stores a VM's configuration and a snapshot for each attached managed disk. To save space and costs, you can exclude any disk from your VM restore points.\nOnce created, VM restore points can then be used to restore individual disks. To restore a VM, restore all relevant disks and attach them to a new VM.\nLearn more about [working with VM restore points](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<virtual-machines-create-restore-points>) and the [restore point collections](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/rest/api/compute/restore-point-collections>) API.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#next-steps>)"

It offers a highly user-friendly experience for [information retrieval](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/samples/samples-by-table>) with its use of [kusto query language (KQL)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/concepts/query-language>).

With this offering users can:\n * Efficiently query the latest snapshot of VM availability across all Azure subscriptions at once and at low latencies for periodic and fleetwide monitoring.\n * Accurately assess the impact to fleetwide business SLAs and quickly trigger decisive mitigation actions, in response to disruptions and type of failure signature.\n * Set up custom dashboards to supervise the comprehensive health of applications by [joining VM availability information](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/concepts/work-with-data>) with [resource metadata present in ARG](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/samples/samples-by-table?tabs=azure-cli>).\n * Track relevant changes in VM availability across a rolling 14-day window, by using the [change-tracking mechanism](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/how-to/get-resource-changes?tabs=azure-cli>) for conducting detailed investigations.\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#sample-queries>)"
