Can you add an existing virtual machine to an Availability Set after it has been created?

Question

Thamimul ansari · Accepted Answer

No, you cannot add an existing virtual machine to an Availability Set after it has been created. To add a VM to an Availability Set, you must delete the original VM and recreate it within the set. A common method involves using scripts like the one from Microsoft Learn to automate the process of saving the VM's configuration, detaching its disks, and recreating the VM with the new availability set settings.
