Not understanding direction here. I have done this on GCE and works fine spinning up new nodes without restarting nodes.

I have a 3 node cluster on azure ubuntu installed. How should I configure the eslasticsearch.yml?

This looks like it ;points to the cloud service correct? I do not have the azure cloud ES service in my case.

Here is what I sue in GCP and works great.

network.host: _gce_
#
cloud:
  gce:
      project_id: rrc101-196516
      zone: [us-east1-b, us-east1-c, us-east1-d]
discovery:
      zen.hosts_provider: gce
