Explanation in Terraform Registry
Manages an Extension for a Virtual Machine Scale Set.
NOTE: This resource is not intended to be used with the
azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_setresource - instead it's intended for this to be used with theazurerm_linux_virtual_machine_scale_setandazurerm_windows_virtual_machine_scale_setresources.
Tips: Best Practices for The Other Azure Compute Resources
In addition to the azurerm_linux_virtual_machine, Azure Compute has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.
azurerm_linux_virtual_machine
Ensure to use SSH authentication for virtual machines
It is better to use SSH authentication for virtual machines instead of password authentication to enforce more secure ways.
azurerm_managed_disk
Ensure to enable the encryption on managed disks
It is better to enable the encryption on managed disks.
azurerm_virtual_machine
Ensure to use SSH authentication for virtual machines
It is better to use SSH authentication for virtual machines instead of password authentication to enforce more secure ways.
Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/extensions (Azure Resource Manager)
The virtualMachineScaleSets/extensions in Microsoft.Compute can be configured in Azure Resource Manager with the resource name Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/extensions. The following sections describe how to use the resource and its parameters.
Example Usage from GitHub
