Correct answer: It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs..
Why this is the answer
Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs is not supported for Basic tier VMs. This is a key limitation to remember. Basic tier VMs have fewer features and capabilities compared to Standard tier VMs, and disk encryption is one of the features excluded from the Basic tier. Standard tier VMs, however, do support Azure Disk Encryption. While Azure Disk Encryption supports custom images, it's important to note that direct OS drive encryption for Linux virtual machine scale sets is not natively supported in the same way as individual VMs; typically, you'd encrypt the image before deploying the scale set.
