@curved-eye-56312 is that in this resource? https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/api-docs/compute/virtualmachineextension/#inputs

Correct!

because azure-native is generated from the upstream Azure API, you can usually find what you need by searching the ARM API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/custom-script-linux

    },
    "protectedSettings": {
      "commandToExecute": "myExecutionCommand",

      "managedIdentity": {},
      "fileUris": [
        "script location"
      ]
    }
  }
}

I am actually trying to build a custom script for a Linux VM. I thought maybe there was a way to have the script file referenced on one of the fields, but if that's not the case then should I just replace

settings

with: `protectedSettings:

{ commands to execute

`}``?

@curved-eye-56312 that's:

protectedSettings: script <base64script

Thank you! I will take a closer look! 😀
