I have created VMSS Flexible with orchestration mode with proper names, yet VMs, NICs, IPs got randomly generated suffixes. enter image description here

Is it possible to automatically create VMs and corresponding resources, when adding instances through VMSS? I’d like to have resources names like:

TST-WebServer1-VM
TST-WebServer2-VM
TST-WebServer1-VM-IP
TST-WebServer2-VM-IP
TST-WebServer1-VM-NIC
TST-WebServer2-VM-NIC

and so on.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-orchestration-modes#instance-naming

When you create a VM and add it to a Flexible scale set, you have full control over instance names within the Azure Naming convention rules. When VMs are automatically added to the scale set via autoscaling, you provide a prefix and Azure appends a unique number to the end of the name.

Apparently it is not actually full control over the names when they are automatically added.
