Description

The instance view is the instance level status of the virtual machine. Specify the Status parameter to get only the instance view of a virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1: Get model and instance view properties

PS C:\> Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "VirtualMachine07"

This command gets the model view and instance view properties of the virtual machine named VirtualMachine07.

Example 2: Get instance view properties

PS C:\> Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "VirtualMachine07" -Status

This command gets properties of the virtual machine named VirtualMachine07. This command specifies the Status parameter. Therefore, the command gets only the instance view properties.

Example 3: Get properties for all virtual machines in a resource group

PS C:\> Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11"

This command gets properties for all the virtual machines in the resource group named ResourceGroup11.
