1. Log in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com).
2. Navigate to the Virtual Machine Scale Sets resource that needs to be remediated.
3. In the left-hand menu, select “Settings” and then select “Properties”.
4. In the “Properties” pane, scroll down to the “Availability” section.
5. In the “Availability” section, check if “Zone Redundancy” is set to “Enabled”. If it is enabled, then the Scale Set is configured to use Zone-Redundant Virtual Machines.
6. To remediate this misconfiguration, disable the “Zone Redundancy” option by toggling the switch to “Disabled”.
7. Once the “Zone Redundancy” option is disabled, click on the “Save” button at the top of the “Properties” pane to save the changes.

​

1. Open the Azure CLI in your terminal or command prompt.
2. Login to your Azure account using the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az login
   

3. Once you are logged in, set the subscription to the one where the affected Virtual Machine Scale Set is located using the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az account set --subscription <subscription_id>
   

4. Check the current configuration of the Virtual Machine Scale Set using the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az vmss show --name <vmss_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name>
   

5. If the Virtual Machine Scale Set is configured for Zone-Redundancy, you can remediate it by disabling the Zone-Redundant deployment using the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az vmss update --name <vmss_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --set singlePlacementGroup=false
   

6. Once the command executes successfully, the Virtual Machine Scale Set will be updated to disable the Zone-Redundant deployment.
7. Verify the updated configuration of the Virtual Machine Scale Set using the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az vmss show --name <vmss_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name>
   

8. You have now successfully remediated the Zone-Redundant Virtual Machine Scale Sets misconfiguration in Azure using Azure CLI.

1. Import the necessary modules:

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

2. Instantiate the ComputeManagementClient and DefaultAzureCredential objects:

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

3. Use the list method of the compute_client.virtual_machine_scale_sets object to get a list of all Virtual Machine Scale Sets in the subscription:

vmss_list = compute_client.virtual_machine_scale_sets.list()

4. For each Virtual Machine Scale Set in the list, check if it is configured to use Zone-Redundant deployment by checking the zones property:

for vmss in vmss_list:
    if vmss.zones is not None:
        # Zone-Redundant deployment is enabled
        # Remediation steps go here

5. To remediate the issue, update the Virtual Machine Scale Set to use a non-Zone-Redundant deployment by setting the zones property to None:

vmss.zones = None
compute_client.virtual_machine_scale_sets.create_or_update(resource_group_name, vmss_name, vmss)

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all Virtual Machine Scale Sets that have Zone-Redundant deployment enabled.
