Issue

Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) for Azure does not support Virtual Machine(VM) Extensions and Applications. The Azure portal and CLI commands rely on the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) deployment parameter called allowExtensionOperations to determine whether a VM supports extensions. For VMs that do not support extensions, this property must be explicitly set to false during deployment. In CVO versions 9.12.1 and older, the allowExtensionOperations parameter is left unset during deployment. As a result, it defaults to true, indicating that the VM supports extensions. However, since ONTAP does not actually support installing extensions, any attempt to do so will fail. This failure causes the extension state to be marked as "unavailable". When queried for the VM state, the API call waits for the extensions to become available or times out (after 1800seconds) before returning the operational status of VM. Until then, the status is reported as "InProgress". Starting with CVO version 9.13.1, the deployment process explicitly sets the allowExtensionOperations parameter to false. This prevents the addition of extensions to the VM.
