Cannot get extension installed on Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64

[Fiury00]

Is there a way to get the extension installed on Ubuntu ARM64?
I have just moved to Azure Update Manager. We have Ubuntu 22.04 on ARM64 .
Image reference:
Publisher: Canonical
Offer: 0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy
SKU: 22_04-lts-arm64
Version: 22.04.202405010
When I try to install with the following command:
az vm extension set --resource-group ***** --vm-name ***** --name ConfigurationForLinux --publisher Microsoft.GuestConfiguration

I get the below output:

A ConfigurationForLinux extension with name AzurePolicyforLinux already exists. Updating it with your settings...

Any ideas?

Bumping this issue as we are hitting the same thing trying to install the GuestConfiguration on Linux ARM64 Ubuntu machines.

Hi @LoopedBard3 and @Fiury00 We do not currently support Arm64, but if there is interest in it we can consider it.

It would be great if Arm64 for Linux could be supported. I know we have a handful of Arm64 VMs currently and will probably be adding more in the future.

Bump on this as well, we wanted to install GuestConfiguration our arm64 VM farm and ran into this. Would be appreciated if an arm64 build is made available, especially with Microsoft making such strides with its new Cobalt CPUs.
