busybox httpd not running on scale set hosts

[rquarry]

Web pages are not being served from scale_set hosts. Logging in and running command manually gets things working.

"index.html" and the nohup output are in the adminuser home folder.

Tried updating settings to use json encoding:

settings = jsonencode({ })

Did not help

Upgraded extension to version 2.1

type_handler_version = "2.1"

Did not help.

There is now no output in the adminuser folder indicating that anything attempted to run on the host machines

Discovered that main.tf was using a two year old version of the Azure provider. Updated to 3.110.0 but didn't fix the problem

Confirmed that the scale set extension does run when triggered manually in the portal via the following directions https://github.com/Azure/custom-script-extension-linux/issues/185

Need to find a way to trigger automatically

Try orchestrated scale sets as a possible fix:
