Nvidia GPU Driver extension for Azure VM fails

Accelerated Computing NGC GPU Cloud Microsoft Azure Image
1

I have tried running the nvidia-drivers on an NC16ads A10 V4 runnint Ubuntu 20.04 by running installer manually (.run and .deb installations), and lately, using Sheikh’s recommendation to install the Nvidia GPU Extension for Linux.

I am using the Image Linux 20.04 Server, and added the extension during the configuration. At the deployment stage, the Extension fails with the status Conflict and gives the message:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "DeploymentFailed",
        "message": "At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.",
        "details": [
            {
                "code": "Conflict",
                "message": "{\r\n  \"status\": \"Failed\",\r\n  \"error\": {\r\n    \"code\": \"ResourceDeploymentFailure\",\r\n    \"message\": \"The resource write operation failed to complete successfully, because it reached terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.\",\r\n    \"details\": [\r\n      {\r\n        \"code\": \"VMExtensionProvisioningError\",\r\n        \"message\": \"VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'NvidiaGpuDriverLinux' (publisher 'Microsoft.HpcCompute' and type 'NvidiaGpuDriverLinux').

            }
        ]
    }
