Does Azure MSI support VM Scale Sets?

Question

The question says it all. Does Azure MSI support VM Scale Sets? My team has a large number of Service Fabric clusters that run on VMSS and we'd like to take advantage of MSI there.

Answer 1

There are also MSI templates for scale sets in the Azure Quickstart Templates (based on the ones mentioned above): https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-vmss-msi-linux https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-vmss-msi-windows

Answer 2

MSI currently support VMSS. The UX flow is not released yet. However, you could use templates to deploy the VMSS using MSI: https://github.com/simongdavies/azuremsi

Answer 3

Here is the official documentation:

• Configure managed identities for Azure resources on a virtual machine scale set using the Azure portal

VMSS supports both system-assigned and user-assigned managed identities.
