    roleInstanceName : String
) : Task<AzureOperationResponse>

Parameters

• operations
  The IDeploymentOperations object that specifies the deployment operations.

• serviceName
  The name of the cloud service that contains the deployment.

• deploymentName
  The name of deployment that contains the roles.

• roleInstanceName
  The name of the role instance that should be reimaged.

Return Value

An OperationResponse object that includes an HTTP status code and request ID.

Remarks

For more information about reimaging a role instance, see Reimage Role Instance.

When the role instance is reimaged, the instance is taken offline and a fresh guest operating system image is applied. The role instance is then brought back online. Azure attempts to maintain data in any local storage resources when the role is reimaged; however, in case of a transient hardware failure, the local storage resource may be lost. If your application requires that this data be persisted, it is recommended that you write it to a durable data source, such as a Azure drive. Any data that is written to a local directory other than that defined by the local storage resource will be lost when the role is reimaged.
