This article details the supported platforms and deployment options for the Network Watcher Agent VM extension for Linux. Installation of the agent does not disrupt, or require a reboot, of the VM. You can deploy the extension into virtual machines that you deploy. If the virtual machine is deployed by an Azure service, check the documentation for the service to determine whether or not it permits installing extensions in the virtual machine.
