Confluence Azure deployment taking too long to complete

Question

Is there any known issues with Confluence Azure ARM templates? It takes more than 2 hours for the VMSS script to complete. The azure scaleset is waiting in a state Creating during the entire period. Also when I try to reimage the node, it fails after a long time with extension failed, plugin enabled error.

Each time when I rerun the vmss script it fails on prepare-install-script extension on jumpbox an dI have to recreate the jumphost for it to run successfully.

Thank you. Looks like this was a temporary issue. I am able to deploy without any issues now.

Hello there @[deleted] !

As I understand, why are trying to deploy Confluence On-Premises using the Azure Template.

With this in mind, please allow me to ask you a few questions:

* Are you trying to deploy Confluence Data Center or Server version?
* Are you using the official template from the Azure Marketplace?
* What database are you using?
* Is there any errors on Confluence Logs?

Also, please check if your database has an ampersand (&) in the password:

* Using an ampersand (&) in the database password breaks Azure template

I also highly recommend that you touch base with your Atlassian administrator for a ticket to be raised with our Support Team.
