Description

The New-AzVMConfig cmdlet creates a configurable local virtual machine object for Azure.

The following cmdlets are used to set different properties of the virtual machine object:

• Add-AzVMNetworkInterface to set the network profile.
  
• Set-AzVMOperatingSystem to set the OS profile.
  
• Set-AzVMSourceImage to set the source image.
  
• Set-AzVMOSDisk to set the OS disk (storage profile).
  
• Get-AzComputeResourceSku can also be used to find out available virtual machine sizes for your subscription and region.
  
  

See Quickstart: Create a Windows virtual machine in Azure with PowerShell for tutorial.
