VMSS Export in PowerShell Desktop with Complex Extension Properties Fails

[SamLue]

I have installed this Module with Command:

Install-Module -Name AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force

Here some commands with some information:
PS W:\config> Get-Module -ListAvailable AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade

Verzeichnis: C:\Users\slueckoff\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands
Manifest 2.0.4 AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade Start-AzBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade

Hi @SamLue,

Thank you for logging an issue!

Can you please try to explicitly import the module with the command: Import-Module AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade ? This will usually show you why the module is not loading.

Hi @mbrat2005,

thanks for your fast response.

OK, I also tried wir another Windows 10 Maschine where no Az-Module was installed.
Then I installed it with: Install-Module Az ...
Import-Module -Name AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade missed the Module Az.ResourceGraph
So, I installed the Sub-Module Az.ResourceGraph explicitly. Strange.

I can Execute the command, now. But still an error:

`log : 2023-04-20T17:30:37+02 [Error]:[BackupVmss] An error occured while exporting the VMSS '' for backup purposes. Error: Ausnahme beim Aufrufen von "Serialize" mit 3 Argument(en):"The collection type

It is an AKS VMSS? Is this a Problem?

[mbrat2005]

This is an error we have run into on PowerShell 5.1. As a workaround, either install PowerShell Core (PowerShell/PowerShell: PowerShell for every system! (github.com)<https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell>) or running in the Azure Cloud Shell. The backend can be an AKS VMSS, as long as the VMSS does not have both an internal and an external load balancer.

I was irritated by the PSEdition in the CloudShell, where only Desk and not Core was listed. Therefore I assumed that the module only works with PowerShell 5.1 and not with Core (> v6).

PS /home/samuel> Get-Module -ListAvailable AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade

Directory: /home/samuel/.local/share/powershell/Modules

ModuleType Version PreRelease Name PSEdition ExportedCommands
Manifest 2.0.4 AzureBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade Desk Start-AzBasicLoadBalancerUpgrade

I have now been able to run it successfully with Powershell 7.

The Load Balancer Ressource SKU itself is now "Standard".
But my aks didn't update these Information:
"loadBalancerProfile": null, "loadBalancerSku": "Basic",
Is there a way to update my aks cluster also?

[mbrat2005]

@Welasco any ideas on this AKS cluster LB?
