Microsoft Azure Command-Line Tools

Project description

Microsoft Azure CLI

A great cloud needs great tools; we’re excited to introduce Azure CLI, our next generation multi-platform command line experience for Azure.

Usage

$ az [ group ] [ subgroup ] [ command ] {parameters}

Getting Started

After installation, use the az configure command to help setup your environment.

$ az configure

For usage and help content, pass in the -h parameter, for example:

$ az storage -h
$ az vm create -h

Highlights

Here are a few features and concepts that can help you get the most out of the Azure CLI.

The following examples are showing using the --output table format, you can change your default using the $ az configure command.

Tab Completion

We support tab-completion for groups, commands, and some parameters

# looking up resource group and name
$ az vm show -g [tab][tab]
AccountingGroup   RGOne  WebPropertiesRG
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n [tab][tab]
StoreVM  Bizlogic
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n Bizlogic

Querying

You can use the --query parameter and the JMESPath query syntax to customize your output.

$ az vm list --query '[].{name:name,os:storageProfile.osDisk.osType}'
Name                    Os
----------------------  -------
storevm                 Linux
bizlogic                Linux
demo32111vm             Windows
dcos-master-39DB807E-0  Linux

Creating a new Linux VM

The following block creates a new resource group in the ‘westus’ region, then creates a new Ubuntu VM. We automatically provide a series of smart defaults, such as setting up SSH with your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key. For more details, try az vm create -h.

$ az group create -l westus -n MyGroup
Name     Location
-------  ----------
MyGroup  westus

$ az vm create -g MyGroup -n MyVM --image ubuntults
MacAddress         ResourceGroup    PublicIpAddress    PrivateIpAddress
-----------------  ---------------  -----------------  ------------------
00-0D-3A-30-B2-D7  MyGroup          52.160.111.118     10.0.0.4

$ ssh 52.160.111.118
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.19.0-65-generic x86_64)
