ARM template or Azure CLI command to only add artifact to an existing vm in devtest lab.

Question

I have a Devtest lab and a few VMs within it created by the same ARM template.

One of the VM requires to have an extra artifact, which I can add manually via Artifact's tab within the Azure portal.
I am looking for a way to automate this process via an ARM template to update, or Azure CLI command.

Any suggestion?
The artifact i am adding is a windows chocolatey package install for windows.

Answer 1

It seems that there is a better template to use as my answer here: 7199438

[
{
"artifactId": "/artifactSources/public repo/artifacts/windows-chocolatey",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "packages",
"value": "sqlserver-odbcdriver"
},
{
"name": "allowEmptyChecksums",
"value": "true"
},
{
"name": "ignoreChecksums",
"value": "false"
}
]
}
]

Command:

az lab vm apply-artifacts --artifacts "@AddChocolateyArtifact.json" --lab-name "DTL_Name" --name "VM_Name" --resource-group "RG_Name"

Hello @MADHUN Ahmed ,
Can you try out the example mentioned in the below article:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60289997/how-to-apply-artifact-run-powershell-for-azure-devtest-lab-vm-by-azure-cli

There was a ARM template where it uses the section "CommandToExecute" under RunCommand.
To apply the template use the command below:
az lab vm apply-artifacts --artifacts '@artifacts.json' --lab-name MyLab --name MyVirtualMachine --resource-group MyResourceGroup

Probably in your specific scenario to add windows chocolate package use the ARM template mentioned at https://github.com/Azure/azure-devtestlab/blob/master/Artifacts/windows-chocolatey/Artifactfile.json

There is also a powershell script:- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devtest-labs/add-artifact-vm#use-powershell
