Description

The Get-AzVM cmdlet gets the model view or the instance view of an Azure virtual machine. The model view is the user specified properties of the virtual machine. The instance view is the instance level status of the virtual machine. Specify the Status parameter to get the instance view of a virtual machine instead of the model view which is the default.

Examples

Example 1: Get model and instance view properties

Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "VirtualMachine07"

ResourceGroupName        : ResourceGroup11
Id                       : /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/ResourceGroup11/providers/M
