Convert-AzAvailabilitySet

Module:
Az.Compute Module

Converts an Availability Set to a Flexible Virtual Machine Scale Set.

Syntax

Default (Default) 

Convert-AzAvailabilitySet
    [-ResourceGroupName] <String>
    [-Name] <String>
    [-VirtualMachineScaleSetName] <String>
    [-NoWait]
    [-AsJob]
    [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Convert-AzAvailabilitySet cmdlet creates a new Flexible Virtual Machine Scale Set and migrates all the Virtual Machines in the Availability Set to it. This operation does not trigger a downtime on the Virtual Machines.

This feature requires the subscription to be enabled for the feature flag Microsoft.Compute/MigrateToVmssFlex.

Examples

Example 1: Convert an Availability Set to a Virtual Machine Scale Set

Convert-AzAvailabilitySet -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyAvailabilitySet" -VirtualMachineScaleSetName "MyScaleSet"

This command converts the availability set named MyAvailabilitySet in the resource group MyResourceGroup to a new Flexible Virtual Machine Scale Set named MyScaleSet.

Example 2: Convert an Availability Set with NoWait

Convert-AzAvailabilitySet -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyAvailabilitySet" -VirtualMachineScaleSetName "MyScaleSet" -NoWait

This command starts the conversion of the availability set and returns immediately without waiting for the operation to complete.
