Compute vmss automatic os upgrades remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “Enable Automatic OS Upgrades” for Azure using Python, you can follow these steps:

Import the required Azure Python SDK modules:

from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.subscription import SubscriptionClient

Authenticate and create a client object for the Azure subscription:

credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(client_id=<client_id>, secret=<secret>, tenant=<tenant_id>)
subscription_client = SubscriptionClient(credentials)
subscription = next(subscription_client.subscriptions.list())

Replace <client_id>, <secret>, and <tenant_id> with the appropriate values for your Azure account.

Create a client object for the Azure Resource Manager:

resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credentials, subscription.subscription_id)

Get the list of virtual machines in the Azure subscription:

compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(credentials, subscription.subscription_id)
vms = compute_client.virtual_machines.list_all()

For each virtual machine, enable automatic OS upgrades:

for vm in vms:
    update_resource = compute_client.virtual_machines.begin_update(resource_group_name=vm.id.split('/')[4], vm_name=vm.name, parameters={'automatic_os_upgrade_policy': {'enable_automatic_os_upgrade': True}})

This will enable automatic OS upgrades for all virtual machines in the subscription.

Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to perform these actions in your Azure subscription before running the script.
