A user asked if there is a way to automatically install ControlUp agents on Azure virtual machines. There has been discussion about this for specific Citrix environments, but the user was wondering about Azure. Another user shared a guide from the ControlUp knowledge base on deploying the MSI version of the agent. However, it was noted that using the MSI option may not automatically remove a virtual machine from the Console if the agent is uninstalled.
