Encrypt Virtual Machine Scale Sets with Azure Resource Manager

Important

Azure Disk Encryption for Virtual Machines and Virtual Machine Scale Sets will be retired on September 15, 2028. New customers should use encryption at host for all new VMs. Existing customers should plan to migrate current ADE-enabled VMs to encryption at host before the retirement date to avoid service disruption -- see Migrate from Azure Disk Encryption to encryption at host.

You can encrypt or decrypt Linux Virtual Machine Scale Sets using Azure Resource Manager templates.

Deploying templates

First, select the template that fits your scenario.

Then follow these steps:

  1. Click Deploy to Azure.
  2. Fill in the required fields then agree to the terms and conditions.
  3. Click Purchase to deploy the template.

Note

Virtual Machine Scale Set encryption is supported with API version 2017-03-30 onwards. If you are using templates to enable scale set encryption, update the API version for Virtual Machine Scale Sets and the ADE extension inside the template. See this sample template for more information.
