I have been working on it straight for the past 2 days and read all the possible documentation that i can find.
I have a scaleset (windows machines that will hold an asp.net core app on it). Here's what the setup looks like.
- I have a "Pipeline" that gets the code and publishes the artifact (this is working as expected)
- Now I am trying to use that artifact and build a new image and push it to the scaleset.
Here are the screenshots of what the release pipeline looks like. pipeline tasks scaleset release error
So the first step builds an image using packer and the second step is supposed to push that image to the scale sets.
The error basically states "Error: VMSS myapp can not be updated as it uses a platform image. Only a VMSS which is currently using a custom image can be updated."
I have tried this release pipeline with 2 different scalesets. One of them was using default windows 2016 image and the other one was using a custom image that was built. In both the cases I run into the same error.
I have spent a LOT of hours trying to figure this out to no avail. I have also asked around in all the communities that i am a part of. Is anyone out there aware of how to update these damnned scale sets with a new image of your application?
