Removing the Azure VM extension for Tentacle

The Azure VM extension for Tentacle, deprecated in 2021, is set to be removed from the marketplace in late March 2023 due to its incompatibility with newer Tentacle versions and the shift towards ARM templates and script extensions. Users are encouraged to transition to using ARM templates and PowerShell DSC extensions for deploying Tentacles on Windows VMs, ensuring compatibility with the .NET 4.8 runtime required for Tentacle versions from 6.3 onwards. The article provides guidance on preparing DSC configurations and ARM templates for deploying Tentacles, either on new or existing VMs, highlighting the ability to lock Tentacle to version 6.2 for compatibility with older .NET frameworks. The transition to these methods offers users greater control over VM deployment and facilitates smoother Tentacle updates, enhancing the deployment experience.
