force deployment to use availability sets in azure

Hi Folks,

we are implementing an F5 cluster in azure, however, the company doesn't want to use availability zones, instead they prefer to use availability sets, i'm using this template https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates/tree/main/supported/failover/same-net/via-lb/3nic/existing-stack/byol but when I deploy it, it defaults to using 2 zones, is there a way to force it to use availability sets?

Thanks

  • Hi Mario_Franco, I reached out to a coworker and he mentioned that you need to edit the template and set the zonesAvailable variable to false instead of the logic it uses to query the api for enabled zones.

  • Just as a note the Azure Global Loadbalancer could possibly also be used for F5 devices in a scale set.
