Azure virtual machine libraries

Overview

On-demand, scalable computing resources running Linux or Windows.

To get started with Azure virtual machines, see Create a Linux virtual machine with the Azure portal.

Management API

Create, configure, and scale out Windows and Linux virtual machines in Azure from your code with the management API.

Add a dependency to your Maven pom.xml file to use the management API in your project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-mgmt-compute</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>

Example

Create a new Linux virtual machine in a new Azure resource group.

VirtualMachine newLinuxVm = azure.virtualMachines().define(linuxVmName)
            .withRegion(Region.US_EAST)
            .withNewResourceGroup("myResourceGroup")
            .withNewPrimaryNetwork("10.0.0.0/28")
            .withPrimaryPrivateIpAddressDynamic()
            .withoutPrimaryPublicIpAddress()
            .withPopularLinuxImage(KnownLinuxVirtualMachineImage.UBUNTU_SERVER_16_04_LTS)
            .withRootUsername(userName)
            .withSshKey(key)
            .withSize(VirtualMachineSizeTypes.STANDARD_D3_V2)
            .create();
