Azure Linux VM Template - Parameter osProfile not allowed but without I can't connect - azure

Question

I created a VM manually in Azure then used the automation script to generate a template to use from Visual Studio for a deployment however when I try to deploy it everything else works bar the VM which complains about the osProfile parameter, If I remove the osProfile section the deployment works but creates a VM I have no way to login to, all the examples I find say the osProfile I have should be fine so I'm a bit stuck
The template attached only works when the osProfile is commented out and then you can't login to the VM
Appreciate any suggestions as I've tried all sorts and am stumped now!
This is the error when the osProfile is included:
08:58:16 - Template deployment returned the following errors:
08:58:16 - 08:58:15 - Resource Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines 'TheFaireyDevSolr' failed with message '{
08:58:16 - "error": {
08:58:16 - "code": "InvalidParameter",
08:58:16 - "target": "osProfile",
08:58:16 - "message": "Parameter 'osProfile' is not allowed."
08:58:16 - }
08:58:16 - }'
I updated the Password parameter to something more complex that I know meets the min reqs.
Below is the template json

UPDATE
I started with a plain Ubuntu VM template from VS and started adding stuff and the problem regarding the osProfile starts happening as soon as I try to add a Managed Disk as the OS disk, I removed that but tried with a managed disk for the DataDisk and got the error "Addition of a managed disk to a VM with blob based disks is not supported"
Not sure if it helps but I believe the issue may be related to having a Managed Disk as the OS disk. Will continue to research and experiment!

Answer 1

Ok worked it out, the automation script I guess isn't quite up to speed with Managed Disks which is fair enough as they are in preview, when I ran it it created a separate resource for the OS Managed disk.
In order to have a managed disk as the OS disk you need to define the storageProfile as follows:
"storageProfile": {
"imageReference": {
"publisher": "[variables('imagePublisher')]",
"offer": "[variables('imageOffer')]",
"sku": "[parameters('ubuntuOSVersion')]",
"version": "latest"
},
"osDisk": {
"osType": "Linux",
"name": "YourOSDiskName",
"createOption": "FromImage",
"caching": "ReadWrite",
"managedDisk": {
"storageAccountType": "Standard_LRS"
},
"diskSizeGB": 32
},
}
The important thing is that you don't need to define the managed disk as a separate resource, it appears the VM creation handles creation of the Managed disk resource and you just need to specify the storageAccountType for the disk.
After that everything appears to work correctly.
Trying to Attach a previously defined Managed Disk based on an OS image and specifying the id parameter in the managedDisk settings in the VM doesn't appear to work.
Hope this helps someone!

Answer 2

osProfile is required if the VHD is sysprepped & generalized - meaning when it starts you want to run through first time setup. If the image is not generalized then you can't specify the osProfile (e.g. user/pass) because it already exists.
re: ManagedDisks - you can use an implicit disk or explicit. If you wanted to use one of your own disk images your storageProfile would be:
"storageProfile": {
"imageReference": {
"id": "[parameters('imageResourceId')]"
}
}
If you want to use your own disk (say, created from a snapshot) you would use:
"storageProfile": {
"osDisk": {
"osType": "[parameters('osType')]",
"name": "[parameters('managedOsDiskName')]",
"createOption": "Attach",
"managedDisk": {
"id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/disks', parameters('managedOsDiskName'))]"
},
"caching": "ReadWrite"
}
}
There are a lot of options available w/ managed disks... This doc isn't perfect but does help.
