This template allows you to deploy a custom VM Linux image inside an Scale Set. These VMs are behind a load balancer with HTTP load balancing (by default on port 80). The example uses a custom script to do the application deployment and update, you may have to provide your custom script for your own update procedure. You will have to provide a generalized image of your VM in the same subscription and region where you create the VMSS.
