How to create multiple vms at once in azure

Hello, @nimi !

There are a number of ways to create multiple virtual machines (VMs) at once in Azure depending on what your goals are. Arguably the easiest way to do this is with Azure DevTest Labs however this is intended for development and test scenarios. For production, Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets allows you to automatically create many VMs from the same base OS image and configuration. There are also ways to rapidly create VMs from a template or using a PowerShell script.

Create up to 100 identical VMs using Azure DevTest Labs
For your development and test solutions, Azure DevTest Labs now allows you to create up to 100 identical VMs from the same image (and artifacts, like Azure PowerShell, Visual Studio, and other production tools):

• Azure DevTest Labs: Create multiple identical VMs at once from Azure portal

Rapidly create VMs using Azure CLI, PowerShell, ARM templates, and managed images
If you would prefer a more hands on approach, you can always deploy VMs rapidly using a variety of CLI and automation tools like Azure CLI, PowerShell, and ARM templates:

• Create a Windows VM using Azure CLI
• Create a Windows VM with PowerShell
• Create a Windows VM using an ARM template
• Create a VM from a managed image

Use ARM template to create multiple vm in short.
