Encrypt Virtual Machine Scale Sets with Azure Resource Manager

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.

• Enable disk encryption on a running Linux Virtual Machine Scale Set

• Enable disk encryption on a running Windows Virtual Machine Scale Set

  • Deploy a Virtual Machine Scale Set of Linux VMs with a jumpbox and enables encryption on Linux Virtual Machine Scale Sets

  • Deploy a Virtual Machine Scale Set of Windows VMs with a jumpbox and enables encryption on Windows Virtual Machine Scale Sets

• Disable disk encryption on a running Linux Virtual Machine Scale Set

• Disable disk encryption on a running Windows Virtual Machine Scale Set

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.
