By default the extension reports successful start as soon as polling starts. However, you can configure it to wait until it successfully downloads the complete list of certificates before reporting a successful start. If other extensions depend on installed certificates before they start, then enabling this setting will allow those extensions to declare a dependency on the Key Vault extension. This will prevent those extensions from starting until all certificates they depend on have been installed. The extension will retry the initial download indefinitely and remain in a `Transitioning` state.\nTo turn on extension dependency, set the following:\nCopy\n```\n\"secretsManagementSettings\": {\n \"requireInitialSync\": true,\n ...\n}\n\n```\n\nNote\nUsing this feature is not compatible with an ARM template that creates a system assigned identity and updates a Key Vault access policy with that identity. Doing so will result in a deadlock as the vault access policy cannot be updated until all extensions have started. You should instead use a _single user assigned MSI identity_ and pre-ACL your vaults with that identity before deploying.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/<#azure-powershell-deployment>)" } ]

Microsoft creates and manages these built-ins.\nIn this article, you can refer to a list of the compliance domains and security controls for Azure VM Image Builder. You can assign the built-ins for a security control individually, to help make your Azure resources compliant with the specific standard.\nThe title of each built-in policy definition links to the policy definition in the Azure portal. Use the link in the **Policy Version** column to view the source on the [Azure Policy GitHub repo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/github.com/Azure/azure-policy>).\nImportant\nEach control is associated with one or more [Azure Policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/policy/overview>) definitions. These policies might help you [assess compliance](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/governance/policy/how-to/get-compliance-data>) with the control. However, there often isn't a one-to-one or complete match between a control and one or more policies. As such, **Compliant** in Azure Policy refers only to the policies themselves. This doesn't ensure that you're fully compliant with all requirements of a control. In addition, the compliance standard includes controls that aren't addressed by any Azure Policy definitions at this time. Therefore, compliance in Azure Policy is only a partial view of your overall compliance status. The associations between controls and Azure Policy Regulatory Compliance definitions for these compliance standards can change over time.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#fedramp-high>)" } ]

You can use these scripts for general machine or application management. They can help you quickly diagnose and remediate VM access and network issues and get the VM back to a good state.\nThe _updated_ managed Run Command uses the same VM agent channel to execute scripts and provides the following enhancements over the [original action orientated Run Command](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/<run-command>):\n * Support for updated Run Command through ARM deployment template\n * Parallel execution of multiple scripts\n * Sequential execution of scripts\n * User specified script timeout\n * Support for long running (hours/days) scripts\n * Passing secrets (parameters, passwords) in a secure manner\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/<#prerequisites>)" } ]

Burst speeds can be maintained for up to 30 minutes at a time.\n * Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.\n * Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.\n * Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.\n * To learn how to get the best storage performance for your VMs, see [Virtual machine and disk performance](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/general-purpose/disks-performance>).\n\nNetwork interface info for each size\nExpand table\nSize Name | Max NICs (Qty.) | Max Network Bandwidth (Mb/s)\n---|---|---\nStandard_D2as_v5 | 2 | 12500\nStandard_D4as_v5 | 2 | 12500\nStandard_D8as_v5 | 4 | 12500\nStandard_D16as_v5 | 8 | 12500\nStandard_D32as_v5 | 8 | 16000\nStandard_D48as_v5 | 8 | 24000\nStandard_D64as_v5 | 8 | 32000\nStandard_D96as_v5 | 8 | 40000\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/general-purpose/<#networking-resources>)\n#### Networking resources\n * [Virtual networks and virtual machines in Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/general-purpose/</en-us/azure/virtual-network/network-overview>)\n * [Virtual machine network bandwidth](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/general-purpose/</en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-machine-network-throughput>)\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/general-purpose/<#table-definitions-1>)\n#### Table definitions\n * Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations.

Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings.
