Description

We are excited to announce preview support to enable Trusted launch on existing Azure Gen1/Gen2 Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) Uniform by upgrading the VMSS Uniform resource to Gen2-Trusted launch. This will help improve the foundational security of existing Azure VMSS resources.

Trusted Launch VMs provide foundational compute security to Azure Generation 2 VMs by enabling Secure Boot and vTPM capabilities. Trusted Launch capabilities protect OS against rootkits, boot kits and enables attestation by measuring the boot chain of VM.
