Azure-cli: Function of --vm-protection

[vivlit]

Hi, I was just wondering what the function of the flag --vm-protection exactly is? In the documentation, it simply states that it can be enabled to turn on VM protection, but there is no further detail.

Some references:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtualnetwork/virtualnetworks/createorupdate
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/vnet?view=azure-cli-latest

Thank you!

Enable VM protection for all subnets in the VNet.

Indicates if VM protection is enabled for all the subnets in the virtual network.

I don't know exact meaning of it, either.
@MyronFanQiu Do you know what it means?

Updated from compute to networking because this is a Network Service API.

This was a legacy flag that has been replaced with enableDdosProtection
