Virtual machines shouldn't use preview images. This rule checks the following properties under "imageReference" and fails if any of them contain the string "preview":
- offer
- sku
- version
Linter rule code
Use the following value in the Bicep configuration file to customize rule settings:
use-stable-vm-image
Solution
The following example fails this test.
resource vm 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines@2020-06-01' = {
name: 'virtualMachineName'
location: resourceGroup().location
properties: {
storageProfile: {
imageReference: {
offer: 'WindowsServer-preview'
sku: '2019-Datacenter-preview'
version: 'preview'
}
}
}
}
You can fix it by using an image that does not contain the string preview
in the imageReference.
resource vm 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines@2020-06-01' = {
name: 'virtualMachineName'
location: resourceGroup().location
properties: {
storageProfile: {
imageReference: {
offer: 'WindowsServer'
sku: '2019-Datacenter'
version: 'latest'
}
}
}
}
