In June 2017, Matt Richardson announced the re-launch of a Virtual Machine extension for Azure, designed to manage the Tentacle agent for Octopus Server after Microsoft updated the Azure portal, rendering the previous version incompatible. The newly re-written extension allows users to install, uninstall, or update a Tentacle's configuration on an Azure Virtual Machine using various tools such as the Azure Portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, or ARM Templates, and even Terraform. Users can deploy the extension at the time of virtual machine creation or apply it to an existing resource group, providing flexibility in managing Azure VM environments. For further guidance on usage, including instructions for Azure Service Management mode and more, users are directed to the product's documentation.
