Why each option
To automatically install NGINX on Azure virtual machines within a scale set during or after deployment via an ARM template, a Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension is the appropriate tool.
Microsoft Intune is used for managing endpoints and mobile devices, not for configuring server applications like NGINX on Azure Virtual Machines.
A Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension allows you to define the desired software configuration, such as installing NGINX, and apply it to virtual machines, including those in a scale set, during or after deployment. This ensures that all VMs consistently reach a specified state, making it ideal for automating application setup on newly provisioned machines.
Azure Application Insights is a monitoring service for application performance and health, not a deployment or configuration tool for installing software.
Deployment Center in Azure App Service is for deploying web applications to Azure App Service, which is a PaaS offering, not for configuring software on IaaS Azure Virtual Machines or VM scale sets.
