Description

The New-AzureRmContainerGroup cmdlets creates a container group.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> New-AzureRmContainerGroup -ResourceGroupName demo -Name mycontainer -Image nginx -OsType Linux -IpAddressType Public -Port @(8000)

ResourceGroupName        : demo
Id                       : /subscriptions/ae43b1e3-c35d-4c8c-bc0d-f148b4c52b78/resourceGroups/demo/providers/Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/mycontainer
Name                     : mycontainer
Type                     : Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups
Location                 : westus
Tags                     :
ProvisioningState        : Creating
Containers               : {mycontainer}
ImageRegistryCredentials :
RestartPolicy            :
IpAddress                : 13.88.10.240
Ports                    : {8000}

Events                   : {}

This commands creates a container group using latest nginx image and requests a public IP address with opening port 8000.

Example 2

PS C:\> New-AzureRmContainerGroup -ResourceGroupName demo -Name mycontainer -Image alpine -OsType Linux -Command "/bin/sh -c myscript.sh" -EnvironmentVariable @{"env1"="value1";"env2"="value2"}

ResourceGroupName        : demo
Id                       : /subscriptions/ae43b1e3-c35d-4c8c-bc0d-f148b4c52b78/resourceGroups/demo/providers/Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/mycontainer

PS C:\> New-AzureRmContainerGroup -ResourceGroupName demo -Name mycontainer -Image alpine -OsType Linux -Command "echo hello" -RestartPolicy Never

ResourceGroupName        : demo
Id                       : /subscriptions/ae43b1e3-c35d-4c8c-bc0d-f148b4c52b78/resourceGroups/demo/providers/Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/mycontainer

Example 4: Creates a container group using image in Azure Container Registry

PS C:\> $secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "PlainTextPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\> $mycred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("myacr", $secpasswd)
PS C:\> New-AzureRmContainerGroup -ResourceGroupName demo -Name mycontainer -Image myacr.azurecr.io/nginx:latest -IpAddressType Public -RegistryCredential $mycred

ResourceGroupName        : demo
