deploying web application to azure scaleset using custom script extension and Azure DevOps

Question

To deploy a web application to azure scale set there are 2 basic way

1) Immutable VHDs but this I fell is inefficient as waiting 24 min for each build is unacceptable.

2) Custom script extension seems to a possibility but not sure I would used this as part of CD in Azure Devops and deploy my build artifact to Azure Scaleset

Answer 1

Here are tutorials about installing applications in virtual machine scale sets with the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

This tutorial shows how to:
