This is done by validating the certificate Subject Alternative Name (SAN).\nExample SAN `DNS Name=eastus.metadata.azure.com, DNS Name=metadata.azure.com`\nNote\nThe domain for the public cloud and each sovereign cloud will be different.\nExpand table\nCloud \| Domain in SAN\n---\|---\n[All generally available global Azure regions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/azure.microsoft.com/regions/>) \| .metadata.azure.com\n[Azure Government](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/azure.microsoft.com/overview/clouds/government/>) \| .metadata.azure.us\n[Azure operated by 21Vianet](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/china/>) \| .metadata.azure.cn\n[Azure Germany](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/azure.microsoft.com/overview/clouds/germany/>) \| .metadata.microsoftazure.de\nNote\nThe certificates might not have an exact match for the domain. For this reason, the certification validation should accept any subdomain (for example, in public cloud general availability regions accept `.metadata.azure.com`).\nWe don't recommend certificate pinning for intermediate certs. For further guidance, see [Certificate pinning - Certificate pinning and Azure services](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/certificate-pinning>). Please note that the Azure Instance Metadata Service will NOT offer notifications for future Certificate Authority changes. Instead, you must follow the centralized [Azure Certificate Authority details](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/azure-ca-details?tabs=root-and-subordinate-cas-list>) article for all future updates.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#sample-1-validate-that-the-vm-is-running-in-azure>)\n#### Sample 1: Validate that the VM is running in Azure\nVendors in Azure Marketplace want to ensure that their software is licensed to run only in Azure.

What does this mean?\n * IMDS requires the header `Metadata: true` to be passed in the request. Passing this header in the REST call allows access to IMDS.\n * Why am I not getting compute information for my VM?\n * Currently, IMDS only supports instances created with Azure Resource Manager.\n * I created my VM through Azure Resource Manager some time ago. Why am I not seeing compute metadata information?\n * If you created your VM after September 2016, add a [tag](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/tag-resources>) to start seeing compute metadata. If you created your VM before September 2016, add or remove extensions or data disks to the VM instance to refresh metadata.\n * Is user data the same as custom data?\n * User data offers the similar functionality to custom data, allowing you to pass your own metadata to the VM instance. The difference is, user data is retrieved through IMDS, and is persistent throughout the lifetime of the VM instance. Existing custom data feature will continue to work as described in [this article](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<custom-data>). However you can only get custom data through local system folder, not through IMDS.\n * Why am I not seeing all data populated for a new version?\n * If you created your VM after September 2016, add a [tag](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/tag-resources>) to start seeing compute metadata. If you created your VM before September 2016, add or remove extensions or data disks to the VM instance to refresh metadata.\n * Why am I getting the error`500 Internal Server Error` or `410 Resource Gone`?\n * Retry your request. For more information, see [Transient fault handling](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/</en-us/azure/architecture/best-practices/transient-faults>). If the problem persists, create a support issue in the Azure portal for the VM.\n * Would this work for scale set instances?\n * Yes, IMDS is available for scale set instances.\n * I updated my tags in my scale sets, but they don't appear in the instances (unlike single instance VMs). Am I doing something wrong?\n * Currently tags for scale sets only show to the VM on a reboot, reimage, or disk change to the instance.\n * Why am I'm not seeing the SKU information for my VM in`instance/compute` details?\n * For custom images created from Azure Marketplace, Azure platform doesn't retain the SKU information for the custom image and the details for any VMs created from the custom image. This is by design and hence not surfaced in the VM `instance/compute` details.\n * Why is my request timed out (or failed to connect) for my call to the service?\n * Metadata calls must be made from the primary IP address assigned to the primary network card of the VM. Additionally, if you've changed your routes, there must be a route for the 169.254.169.254/32 address in your VM's local routing table.\n * [Windows](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#tabpanel_15_windows>)\n * [Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#tabpanel_15_linux>)\n 1. Dump your local routing table and look for the IMDS entry. For example:\n```\nroute print\n\n```\n```\nIPv4 Route Table\n===========================================================================\nActive Routes:\nNetwork Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric\n 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.69.1 172.16.69.7 10\n 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n 168.63.129.16 255.255.255.255 172.16.69.1 172.16.69.7 11\n169.254.169.254 255.255.255.255 172.16.69.1 172.16.69.7 11\n... (continues) ...\n\n```\n\n 2. Verify that a route exists for `169.254.169.254`, and note the corresponding network interface (for example, `172.16.69.7`).\n 3. Dump the interface configuration and find the interface that corresponds to the one referenced in the routing table, noting the MAC (physical) address.\n```\nipconfig /all\n\n```\n```\n... (continues) ...\nEthernet adapter Ethernet:\nConnection-specific DNS Suffix . : xic3mnxjiefupcwr1mcs1rjiqa.cx.internal.cloudapp.net\nDescription . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter\nPhysical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0D-3A-E5-1C-C0\nDHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes\nAutoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes\nLink-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::3166:ce5a:2bd5:a6d1%3(Preferred)\nIPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.69.7(Preferred)\nSubnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0\n... (continues) ...\n\n```\n\n 4. Confirm that the interface corresponds to the VM's primary NIC and primary IP. You can find the primary NIC and IP by looking at the network configuration in the Azure portal, or by looking it up with the Azure CLI. Note the private IPs (and the MAC address if you're using the CLI). Here's a PowerShell CLI example:\n```\n$ResourceGroup = '<Resource_Group>'\n$VmName = '<VM_Name>'\n$NicNames = az vm nic list --resource-group $ResourceGroup --vm-name $VmName \| ConvertFrom-Json \| Foreach-Object { $_.id.Split('/')[-1] }\nforeach($NicName in $NicNames)\n{\n $Nic = az vm nic show --resource-group $ResourceGroup --vm-name $VmName --nic $NicName \| ConvertFrom-Json\n Write-Host $NicName, $Nic.primary, $Nic.macAddress\n}\n\n```\n```\nwintest767 True 00-0D-3A-E5-1C-C0\n\n```\n\n 5. If they don't match, update the routing table so that the primary NIC and IP are targeted.\n 1. Dump your local routing table with a command such as `netstat -r` and look for the IMDS entry (e.g.):\n```\nnetstat -r\n\n```\n```\nKernel IP routing table\nDestination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface\ndefault _gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0\n168.63.129.16 _gateway 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0\n169.254.169.254 _gateway 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0\n172.16.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0\n\n```\n\n 2. Verify that a route exists for `169.254.169.254`, and note the corresponding network interface (e.g. `eth0`).\n 3. Dump the interface configuration for the corresponding interface in the routing table (note the exact name of the configuration file may vary)\n```\ncat /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml\n\n```\n```\nnetwork:\nethernets:\n eth0:\n dhcp4: true\n dhcp4-overrides:\n route-metric: 100\n dhcp6: false\n match:\n macaddress: 00:0d:3a:e4:c7:2e\n set-name: eth0\nversion: 2\n\n```\n\n 4. If you're using a dynamic IP, note the MAC address. If you're using a static IP, you may note the listed IP(s) and/or the MAC address.\n 5. Confirm that the interface corresponds to the VM's primary NIC and primary IP. You can find the primary NIC and IP by looking at the network configuration in the Azure portal, or by looking it up with the Azure CLI. Note the private IPs (and the MAC address if you're using the CLI). Here's a PowerShell CLI example:\n```\n$ResourceGroup = '<Resource_Group>'\n$VmName = '<VM_Name>'\n$NicNames = az vm nic list --resource-group $ResourceGroup --vm-name $VmName \| ConvertFrom-Json \| Foreach-Object { $_.id.Split('/')[-1] }\nforeach($NicName in $NicNames)\n{\n $Nic = az vm nic show --resource-group $ResourceGroup --vm-name $VmName --nic $NicName \| ConvertFrom-Json\n Write-Host $NicName, $Nic.primary, $Nic.macAddress\n}\n\n```\n```\nipexample606 True 00-0D-3A-E4-C7-2E\n\n```\n\n 6. If they don't match, update the routing table such that the primary NIC/IP are targeted.\n * Fail over clustering in Windows Server\n * When you're querying IMDS with failover clustering, it's sometimes necessary to add a route to the routing table. Here's how:\n 1. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges.\n 2. Run the following command, and note the address of the Interface for Network Destination (`0.0.0.0`) in the IPv4 Route Table.\n```\nroute print\n\n```\n\nNote\nThe following example output is from a Windows Server VM with failover cluster enabled. For simplicity, the output contains only the IPv4 Route Table.\n```\nIPv4 Route Table\n===========================================================================\nActive Routes:\nNetwork Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric\n 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.10 266\n 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.192 On-link 10.0.1.10 266\n 10.0.1.10 255.255.255.255 On-link 10.0.1.10 266\n 10.0.1.15 255.255.255.255 On-link 10.0.1.10 266\n 10.0.1.63 255.255.255.255 On-link 10.0.1.10 266\n 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n 169.254.0.0 255.255.0.0 On-link 169.254.1.156 271\n 169.254.1.156 255.255.255.255 On-link 169.254.1.156 271\n169.254.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 169.254.1.156 271\n 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 169.254.1.156 271\n255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331\n255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 169.254.1.156 271\n255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 10.0.1.10 266\n\n```\n\nRun the following command and use the address of the Interface for Network Destination (`0.0.0.0`), which is (`10.0.1.10`) in this example.\n```\nroute add 169.254.169.254/32 10.0.1.10 metric 1 -p\n\n```\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#support>)" } ]

It exhibits the common [ACID](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<https:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID>) (_atomicity_ , _consistency_ , _isolation_ , _durability_) properties of database transactions:\n * Atomicity : A transaction must be an atomic unit of work. In other words, either all its data modifications are performed, or none of them is performed.\n * Consistency : When completed, a transaction must leave all data in a consistent state. All internal data structures must be correct at the end of the transaction.\n * Isolation : Modifications made by concurrent transactions must be isolated from the modifications made by any other concurrent transactions. The isolation level used for an operation within an [ITransaction](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/</en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.servicefabric.data.itransaction>) is determined by the [IReliableState](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/</en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.servicefabric.data.ireliablestate>) performing the operation.\n * Durability : After a transaction has completed, its effects are permanently in place in the system. The modifications persist even in the event of a system failure.\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#isolation-levels>)" } ]

There are two isolation levels that are supported in Reliable Collections:\n * Repeatable Read : Specifies that statements cannot read data that has been modified but not yet committed by other transactions and that no other transactions can modify data that has been read by the current transaction until the current transaction finishes.\n * Snapshot : Specifies that data read by any statement in a transaction is the transactionally consistent version of the data that existed at the start of the transaction. The transaction can recognize only data modifications that were committed before the start of the transaction. Data modifications made by other transactions after the start of the current transaction are not visible to statements executing in the current transaction. The effect is as if the statements in a transaction get a snapshot of the committed data as it existed at the start of the transaction. Snapshots are consistent across Reliable Collections.\n\nReliable Collections automatically choose the isolation level to use for a given read operation depending on the operation and the role of the replica at the time of transaction's creation. Following is the table that depicts isolation level defaults for Reliable Dictionary and Queue operations.\nExpand table\nOperation \\ Role \| Primary \| Secondary\n---\|---\|---\nSingle Entity Read \| Repeatable Read \| Snapshot\nEnumeration, Count \| Snapshot \| Snapshot\nNote\nCommon examples for Single Entity Operations are `IReliableDictionary.TryGetValueAsync`, `IReliableQueue.TryPeekAsync`.\nBoth the Reliable Dictionary and the Reliable Queue support _Read Your Writes_. In other words, any write within a transaction will be visible to a following read that belongs to the same transaction.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#locks>)" } ]

Provide clear, accurate, and helpful responses based on official Azure documentation." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Can you explain Locks?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "In Reliable Collections, all transactions implement rigorous two phase locking: a transaction does not release the locks it has acquired until the transaction terminates with either an abort or a commit.\nReliable Dictionary uses row-level locking for all single entity operations. Reliable Queue trades off concurrency for strict transactional FIFO property. Reliable Queue uses operation-level locks allowing one transaction with `TryPeekAsync` and/or `TryDequeueAsync` and one transaction with `EnqueueAsync` at a time. Note that to preserve FIFO, if a `TryPeekAsync` or `TryDequeueAsync` ever observes that the Reliable Queue is empty, they will also lock `EnqueueAsync`.\nWrite operations always take Exclusive locks. For read operations, the locking depends on a couple of factors:\n * Any read operation done using Snapshot isolation is lock-free.\n * Any Repeatable Read operation by default takes Shared locks.\n * However, for any read operation that supports Repeatable Read, the user can ask for an Update lock instead of the Shared lock. An Update lock is an asymmetric lock used to prevent a common form of deadlock that occurs when multiple transactions lock resources for potential updates at a later time.\n\nThe lock compatibility matrix can be found in the following table:\nExpand table\nRequest \\ Granted \| None \| Shared \| Update \| Exclusive\n---\|---\|---\|---\|---\nShared \| No conflict \| No conflict \| Conflict \| Conflict\nUpdate \| No conflict \| No conflict \| Conflict \| Conflict\nExclusive \| No conflict \| Conflict \| Conflict \| Conflict\nThe timeout argument in Reliable Collections APIs is used for deadlock detection. For example, two transactions (T1 and T2) are trying to read and update K1. It is possible for them to deadlock, because they both end up having the Shared lock. In this case, one or both of the operations will time out. In this scenario, an Update lock could prevent such a deadlock.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#next-steps>)" } ]

They allow you to run applications with high availability and fault tolerance to data center failures. Azure regions that support Availability Zones have a minimum of three separate zones. Each availability zone consists of one or more data centers equipped with independent infrastructure power, network, and cooling. Availability zones are connected by a high-performance network with a round-trip latency of less than 2 milliseconds. For more information, see [Overview of Availability Zones](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/</en-us/azure/reliability/availability-zones-overview>).\nTo protect your Virtual Machine Scale Sets from datacenter-level failures, you can create a scale set across Availability Zones. To use Availability Zones, your scale set must be created in a [supported Azure region](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/</en-us/azure/reliability/availability-zones-region-support>).\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#design-considerations-for-availability-zones>)" } ]

By default, the scale set performs a best effort approach to evenly spread instances across selected zones. However, you can specify that you want strict zone balance by setting `\"zoneBalance\": \"true\"` in your deployment. Each VM and its disks are zonal, so they are pinned to a specific zone. Instances between zones are connected by high-performance network with low latency. In the event of a zonal outage or connectivity issue, connectivity to instances within the affected zone may be compromised, while instances in other availability zones should be unaffected. You may add capacity to the scale set during a zonal outage, and the scale set adds more instances to the unaffected zones. When the zone is restored, you may need to scale down your scale set to the original capacity. A best practice would be to configure [autoscale](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<virtual-machine-scale-sets-autoscale-overview>) rules based on CPU or memory usage. The autoscale rules would allow the scale set to respond to a loss of the VM instances in that one zone by scaling out new instances in the remaining operational zones.\nSpreading instances across availability zones meets the 99.99% SLA for instances spread across availability zones, and is recommended for most workloads in Azure.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#zonal-or-zone-aligned-single-zone>)" } ]

VM instances that are on different fault domains are not likely to be impacted by the same planned or unplanned outage.

This spreading could be across greater or fewer than five fault domains per zone. With static fixed spreading, the scale set spreads your VMs across the specified number of fault domains. If the scale set can't allocate to at least the specified fault domain count to satisfy the allocation request, the request fails.\nWe recommend deploying with max spreading for most workloads , as this approach provides the best spreading in most cases. If you need replicas to be spread across distinct hardware isolation units, we recommend spreading across Availability Zones and utilize max spreading within each zone.\nNote\nWith max spreading, you only see one fault domain in the scale set VM instance view and in the instance metadata regardless of how many fault domains the VMs are spread across.

For regional (non-zonal) scale sets, the choice is to have a single placement group in the region or to have multiple in the region. If the scale set property called `singlePlacementGroup` is set to false, the scale set can be composed of multiple placement groups and has a range of 0-1,000 VMs. When set to the default value of true, the scale set is composed of a single placement group, and has a range of 0-100 VMs. For most workloads, we recommend multiple placement groups, which allows for greater scale. In API version _2017-12-01_ , scale sets default to multiple placement groups for single-zone and cross-zone scale sets, but they default to single placement group for regional (non-zonal) scale sets.\nNote\nIf you use max spreading, you must use multiple placement groups.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#zone-balancing>)" } ]

For example:\n * A scale set with 2 VMs in zone 1, 3 VMs in zone 2, and 3 VMs in zone 3 is considered balanced. There is only one zone with a different VM count and it is only 1 less than the other zones.\n * A scale set with 1 VM in zone 1, 3 VMs in zone 2, and 3 VMs in zone 3 is considered unbalanced. Zone 1 has 2 fewer VMs than zones 2 and 3.\n\nIt's possible that VMs in the scale set are successfully created, but extensions on those VMs fail to deploy. These VMs with extension failures are still counted when determining if a scale set is balanced. For instance, a scale set with 3 VMs in zone 1, 3 VMs in zone 2, and 3 VMs in zone 3 is considered balanced even if all extensions failed in zone 1 and all extensions succeeded in zones 2 and 3.\nWith best-effort zone balance, the scale set attempts to scale in and out while maintaining balance. However, if for some reason zone balance isn't possible (for example, if one zone goes down, the scale set can't create a new VM in that zone), the scale set allows temporary imbalance to successfully scale in or out. On subsequent scale-out attempts, the scale set adds VMs to zones that need more VMs for the scale set to be balanced. Similarly, on subsequent scale in attempts, the scale set removes VMs from zones that need fewer VMs for the scale set to be balanced. With \"strict zone balance\", the scale set fails any attempts to scale in or out if doing so would cause unbalance.\nTo use best-effort zone balance, set _zoneBalance_ to _false_. This setting is the default in API version _2017-12-01_. To use strict zone balance, set _zoneBalance_ to _true_.\nNote\nThe `zoneBalance` property can only be set if the zones property of the scale set contains more than one zone. If there are no zones or only one zone specified, then zoneBalance property should not be set.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#create-zone-spanning-or-zonal-scale-sets>)" } ]

Service Fabric also addresses the significant challenges in [developing and managing](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#application-lifecycle-management>) cloud native applications.\nA key differentiator of Service Fabric is its strong focus on building stateful services. You can use the Service Fabric [programming model](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#stateless-and-stateful-microservices>) or run containerized stateful services written in any language or code. You can create [Service Fabric clusters anywhere](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#any-os-any-cloud>), including Windows Server and Linux on premises and other public clouds, in addition to Azure.\n![The Service Fabric platform provides lifecycle management, availability, orchestration, programming models, health and monitoring, dev and ops tooling, and autoscaling--in Azure, on premises, in other clouds, and on your dev machine](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/media/service-fabric-overview/service-fabric-overview.png)\nService Fabric powers many Microsoft services today, including Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, Cortana, Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Intune, Azure Event Hubs, Azure IoT Hub, Dynamics 365, Skype for Business, and many core Azure services.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#container-orchestration>)" } ]

Service Fabric can deploy applications in seconds, at high density with hundreds or thousands of applications or containers per machine. With Service Fabric, you can mix both services in processes and services in containers in the same application.\n[Learn more about Service Fabric](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<service-fabric-content-roadmap>) core concepts, programming models, application lifecycle, testing, clusters, and health monitoring.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/<#stateless-and-stateful-microservices>)" } ]

Community galleries can be used by anyone with an Azure subscription. Someone creating a VM can browse images shared with the community using the portal, REST, or the Azure CLI.\nSharing images to the community is a new capability in [Azure Compute Gallery](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<azure-compute-gallery#community>). You can make your image galleries public, and share them to all Azure customers. When a gallery is marked as a community gallery, all images under the gallery become available to all Azure customers as a new resource type under Microsoft.Compute/communityGalleries. All Azure customers can see the galleries and use them to create VMs. Your original resources of the type `Microsoft.Compute/galleries` are still under your subscription, and private.\nImportant\nMicrosoft does not provide support for Community Images and customers should contact the Image Publishers for any image related issues, however Microsoft will provide commercially reasonable support to isolate any platform issue when using Community image. Customers can find the publisher contact by querying the image.\nThere are three main ways to share images in an Azure Compute Gallery, depending on who you want to share with:\nExpand table\nSharing with: \| People \| Groups \| Service Principal \| All users in a specific subscription (or) tenant \| Publicly with all users in Azure\n---\|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\n[RBAC Sharing](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<share-gallery>) \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| No \| No\nRBAC + [Direct shared gallery](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<share-gallery-direct>) \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| No\nRBAC + [Community gallery](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<share-gallery-community>) \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| No \| Yes\nNote\nPlease note that Images can be used with read permissions on them to deploy virtual machines and disks.\nWhen utilizing the direct shared gallery, images are distributed widely to all users in a subscription/tenant, while the community gallery distributes images publicly. It is recommended to exercise caution when sharing images that contain intellectual property to prevent widespread distribution.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#disclaimer>)" } ]

Only the owner of a subscription, or a user or service principal with the `Compute Gallery Sharing Admin` role at the subscription or gallery level, can enable a gallery to go public to the community. At this point, the Azure infrastructure creates proxy read-only regional resources, under `Microsoft.Compute/CommunityGalleries`, which are public.\nThe end-users can only interact with the proxy resources, they never interact with your private resources. As the publisher of the private resource, you should consider the private resource as your handle to the public proxy resources. The `prefix` you provide when you create the gallery is used, along with a unique GUID, to create the public facing name for your gallery.\nAzure users can see the latest image versions shared to the community in the portal, or query for them using the CLI. Only the latest version of an image is listed in the community gallery.\nWhen creating a community gallery, you will need to provide contact information for your images. The objective and underlying intention of this information is to facilitate communication between the consumer of the image and the publisher, like if the consumer needs assistance. Microsoft doesn't offer support for these images. This information will be shown publicly , so be careful when providing it:\n * Community gallery prefix\n * Publisher support email\n * Publisher URL\n * Legal agreement URL (Do not put secrets, passwords, SASURI etc. in legal agreement URL field)\n\nInformation from your image definitions will also be publicly available, like what you provide for Publisher , Offer , and SKU.\nWarning\nIf you want to stop sharing a gallery publicly, you can update the gallery to stop sharing, but making the gallery private will prevent existing virtual machine scale set users from scaling their resources.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#as-a-publisher-of-the-image-how-to-choose-between-publishing-to-azure-marketplace-and-community-gallery>)" } ]

These charges are based on the storage account type chosen.\n * Network egress charges for replication across regions.\n\nConsumers of the image may have to pay additional software cost if the base image is using an Azure marketplace image with software charges.\nQ: Is it safe to use images shared to the community?\nA : Users should exercise caution while using images from non-verified sources, since these images aren't subject to certification and not scanned for malware/vulnerabilities and publisher details aren't verified.\nQ: If an image that is shared to the community doesn’t work, who do I contact for support?\nA : Azure isn't responsible for any issues users might encounter with community-shared images. The support is provided by the image publisher. Look up the publisher contact information for the image and reach out to them for any support.\nQ: Is Community gallery sharing functionality part of Azure Marketplace?\nA : No, Community gallery sharing isn't part of Azure Marketplace, it's a feature of 'Azure Compute Gallery'. Anyone with an Azure subscription can use 'Community gallery' and make their images public.\nQ: I have concerns about an image, who do I contact?\nA : For issues with images shared to the community:\n * To report malicious images, contact [Abuse Report](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/msrc.microsoft.com/report/abuse>).\n * To report images that potentially violate intellectual property rights, contact [Infringement Report](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<https:/msrc.microsoft.com/report/infringement>).\n\nQ: How do I request that an image shared to the community be replicated to a specific region?\nA : Only the content publishers have control over the regions their images are available in.

The Azure Windows VM Agent has a primary role in enabling and executing Azure virtual machine extensions. VM extensions enable post-deployment configuration of VMs, such as installing and configuring software. VM extensions also enable recovery features such as resetting the administrative password of a VM. Without the Azure Windows VM Agent, you can't run VM extensions.\nThis article describes how to install and detect the Azure Windows VM Agent.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/<#prerequisites>)" } ]

This is required to get the host or fabric address from DHCP for the Azure Windows VM Agent and extensions to work. If you need a static private IP address, you should configure it through the Azure portal or PowerShell, and make sure the DHCP option inside the VM is enabled.

When you deploy an Azure Marketplace image from the Azure portal, PowerShell, the Azure CLI, or an Azure Resource Manager template, the Azure Windows VM Agent is also installed.\nThe Azure Windows VM Agent package has two parts:\n * Azure Windows Provisioning Agent (PA)\n * Azure Windows Guest Agent (WinGA)\n\nTo boot a VM, you must have the PA installed on the VM. However, the WinGA does not need to be installed. At VM deploy time, you can select not to install the WinGA. The following example shows how to select the `provisionVmAgent` option with an Azure Resource Manager template:\nJSON Copy\n```\n{\n\t\"resources\": [{\n\t\t\"name\": [\"parameters('virtualMachineName')\"],\n\t\t\"type\": \"Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines\",\n\t\t\"apiVersion\": \"2016-04-30-preview\",\n\t\t\"location\": [\"parameters('location')\"],\n\t\t\"dependsOn\": [\"[concat('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/', parameters('networkInterfaceName'))]\"],\n\t\t\"properties\": {\n\t\t\t\"osProfile\": {\n\t\t\t\t\"computerName\": [\"parameters('virtualMachineName')\"],\n\t\t\t\t\"adminUsername\": [\"parameters('adminUsername')\"],\n\t\t\t\t\"adminPassword\": [\"parameters('adminPassword')\"],\n\t\t\t\t\"windowsConfiguration\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"provisionVmAgent\": \"false\"\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}]\n}\n\n```\n\nIf you don't have the agents installed, you can't use some Azure services, such as Azure Backup or Azure Security. These services require an extension to be installed. If you deploy a VM without the WinGA, you can install the latest version of the agent later.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/<#manual-installation>)" } ]
