    Hi @Aditya Pai

    You can add an inbound rule to the network security group (NSG) of a virtual machine scale set (VMSS) by using an ARM template. Here is an example of how to add an inbound rule to the NSG of a VMSS attached to a network interface via ARM template:

    {
        "apiVersion": "2018-06-01",
        "type": "Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/securityRules",
        "name": "[concat(parameters('nsgName'), '/', parameters('ruleName'))]",
        "location": "[parameters('location')]",
        "dependsOn": [
            "[concat('Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/', parameters('nsgName'))]"
        ],
        "properties": {
            "protocol": "[parameters('protocol')]",
            "sourcePortRange": "*",
            "destinationPortRange": "[parameters('destinationPortRange')]",
            "sourceAddressPrefix": "[parameters('sourceAddressPrefix')]",
            "destinationAddressPrefix": "[parameters('destinationAddressPrefix')]",
            "access": "[parameters('access')]",
            "priority": "[parameters('priority')]",
            "direction": "[parameters('direction')]"
        }
    }
    
    
    
    

    In this example, you need to provide the following parameters:

    • nsgName: The name of the NSG.
    • ruleName: The name of the rule you want to create.
    • location: The location of the NSG.
    • protocol: The protocol of the rule (TCP, UDP, or *).
    • destinationPortRange: The destination port range of the rule.
    • sourceAddressPrefix: The source address prefix of the rule.
    • destinationAddressPrefix: The destination address prefix of the rule.
    • access: The access of the rule (Allow or Deny).
    • priority: The priority of the rule.
    • direction: The direction of the rule (Inbound or Outbound).

    You can use this template to add an inbound rule to the NSG of a VMSS attached to a network interface.
    Hope this helps!
