Feature Request: Provide ARM VM support for vm-repair extension

[malachma]

Extension name (the extension in question)

vm-repair

Description of issue (in as much detail as possible)

In order to use the 'vm repair' extension to work with ARM based VMs the extension needs to create the right recovery VM.
At the moment ARM based VMS aren't supported. At creation time the following error is raised

ERROR: {"status":"Failed","error":{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.","details":[{"code":"BadRequest","message":"{\r\n "error": {\r\n "code": "BadRequest",\r\n "message": "Cannot create a VM of size 'Standard_D2pls_v5' because this VM size only supports a CPU Architecture of 'Arm64', but an image or disk with CPU Architecture 'x64' was given. Please check that the CPU Architecture of the image or disk is compatible with that of the VM size."\r\n }\r\n}"}]}}

Moving this to myself to find the right current owner of the VM Repair tool.

Updating to the tool owner

What is the progress on this feature requests? ARM64 support is a feature which also benefits our self-service capabilities

@malachma We are currently assessing this as a feature request and will post an update when we can.

This issue was previously resolved and should be available in recent versions of Azure CLI.

I'm not able to confirm that this is solved. You just have created a new issue by not testing this new feature correctly. Creating an ARM64 recover VM throws the following error for a 'Standard Security' enabled VM

Hi @malachma this is a known issue in underlying CLI, we will create a bug to resolve this. Azure/azure-cli#27975

@malachma , you can ping Haider for more info about testing the current fix for this issue.

What is your repro? I tried to create a repair vm from an ARM64 vm and setting the repair vm explicitly to an arm64 image, but the repair vm was made successfully.

Once the repairs are complete use the command 'az vm repair restore -n vm64std -g XXXXX --verbose' to restore disk to the source VM. Note that the copied disk is created within the original resource group 'XXXXX'.
