Virtual Machine Extensions - Create Or Update

Service:: Compute

API Version:: 2025-04-01

The operation to create or update the extension.

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}/extensions/{vmExtensionName}?api-version=2025-04-01

URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
resourceGroupName	path	True	string minLength: 1 maxLength: 90	The name of the resource group. The name is case insensitive.
subscriptionId	path	True	string minLength: 1	The ID of the target subscription.
vmExtensionName	path	True	string	The name of the virtual machine extension.
vmName	path	True	string	The name of the virtual machine.
api-version	query	True	string minLength: 1	The API version to use for this operation.

Request Body

Name	Required	Type	Description
location	True	string	The geo-location where the resource lives
properties.autoUpgradeMinorVersion		boolean	Indicates whether the extension should use a newer minor version if one is available at deployment time. Once deployed, however, the extension will not upgrade minor versions unless redeployed, even with this property set to true.
properties.enableAutomaticUpgrade		boolean	Indicates whether the extension should be automatically upgraded by the platform if there is a newer version of the extension available.
properties.forceUpdateTag		string	How the extension handler should be forced to update even if the extension configuration has not changed.
properties.instanceView		VirtualMachineExtensionInstanceView	The virtual machine extension instance view.
properties.protectedSettings			The extension can contain either protectedSettings or protectedSettingsFromKeyVault or no protected settings at all.
properties.protectedSettingsFromKeyVault		KeyVaultSecretReference	The extensions protected settings that are passed by reference, and consumed from key vault
properties.provisionAfterExtensions		string[]	Collection of extension names after which this extension needs to be provisioned.
properties.publisher		string	The name of the extension handler publisher.
properties.settings			Json formatted public settings for the extension.
properties.suppressFailures		boolean	Indicates whether failures stemming from the extension will be suppressed (Operational failures such as not connecting to the VM will not be suppressed regardless of this value). The default is false.
properties.type		string	Specifies the type of the extension; an example is "CustomScriptExtension".
properties.typeHandlerVersion		string	Specifies the version of the script handler.
tags		object	Resource tags.
