Adding existing ARM virtual machine to availability set
Adding existing ARM virtual machine to availability set. I can't do much with certain setups cause they have to be in an availability set and I cant add them to one after they have been created.

very useful when creating VM from backup or image, but this feature not available in this cases. -

Yes, upvoted, it is painful reconfiguring load balancers, availability sets and VM architectures

+1. Ok, so this can be achieved using available Powershell scripts. But in that case, it should be a no brainer to add the option to the web portal and the CLI.

Please, just add this feature. The comments below well explain all the reasons to do that.

The restore from Azure Vault is almost useless if we cant get the option during the restore to select the AVset to restore VM into like during a regular build, that way we can fully restore the VM as it was originally.... that would make Azure backup a perfect product...almost :)

This is going to lead me to looking into AWS instead.

Any update on this request.. we are with the same requirement. Client wanted to add VMs to availability set. and re-creating is not a good option.

It's also a requirement if you wish to use Load Balancers so if there is a design change halfway through a deployment it can be a pain to get everything into the right availability sets.

The workaround of requiring people to delete and recreate virtual machines is not without risk and not as simple as allowing availability set memberships to be modified. This capability needs implementing.
Since having an availability set is key to providing high availability and having a service covered under SLA this core administration need is missing. Requirements may change and require people to add existing machines to sets or remove them.

Agreed. It's extremely disruptive to have to delete/re-create machines if plans change.
