Compute vmss automatic instance repairs remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To enable automatic instance repairs in Azure using Azure CLI, follow these steps:

Open the Azure CLI on your computer.
Log in to your Azure account using the following command:
```
az login
```
Once you are logged in, select the subscription that contains the virtual machine you want to enable automatic instance repairs for using the following command:
```
az account set --subscription <subscription_id>
```
Next, enable automatic instance repairs for the virtual machine by running the following command:
```
az vm update --resource-group <resource_group_name> --name <vm_name> --set automaticRepairsEnabled=true
```
Replace <resource_group_name> with the name of the resource group that contains the virtual machine and <vm_name> with the name of the virtual machine.
After running the command, Azure will enable automatic instance repairs for the virtual machine. You can verify that automatic instance repairs are enabled by running the following command:
```
az vm show --resource-group <resource_group_name> --name <vm_name> --query automaticRepairsEnabled
```
If the command returns “true”, automatic instance repairs are enabled for the virtual machine.

That’s it! You have successfully remediated the misconfiguration by enabling automatic instance repairs for the virtual machine in Azure using Azure CLI.

Using Python

To enable automatic instance repairs for Azure using Python, you can follow the below steps:Step 1: Install the Azure SDK for Python using pip command as shown below:

pip install azure-mgmt-compute

Step 2: Import the required modules as shown below:

from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential
from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient

Step 3: Authenticate and create a compute management client instance as shown below:

credential = AzureCliCredential()
subscription_id = '<your-subscription-id>'
compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

Step 4: Get the resource group and virtual machine name for which you want to enable automatic instance repairs as shown below:

resource_group_name = '<your-resource-group-name>'
vm_name = '<your-vm-name>'

Step 5: Enable automatic instance repairs for the virtual machine using the below code:

vm = compute_client.virtual_machines.get(resource_group_name, vm_name)
vm.instance_view.auto_upgrade_policy = 'Rolling'
compute_client.virtual_machines.create_or_update(resource_group_name, vm_name, vm)

In the above code, we are getting the virtual machine instance, setting the auto-upgrade policy to “Rolling”, and then updating the virtual machine with the new policy.Step 6: Verify if the automatic instance repairs are enabled for the virtual machine using the below code:

vm = compute_client.virtual_machines.get(resource_group_name, vm_name)
print(vm.instance_view.auto_upgrade_policy)

The above code will print the auto-upgrade policy of the virtual machine, which should be “Rolling” if the automatic instance repairs are enabled.That’s it! You have successfully enabled automatic instance repairs for Azure virtual machine using Python.
