New-AzureVM

  • Reference
Module:
Azure

Creates an Azure virtual machine.

Note

The cmdlets referenced in this documentation are for managing legacy Azure resources that use Azure Service Manager (ASM) APIs. This legacy PowerShell module isn't recommended when creating new resources since ASM is scheduled for retirement. For more information, see Azure Service Manager retirement.

The Az PowerShell module is the recommended PowerShell module for managing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources with PowerShell.

Description

The New-AzureVM cmdlet adds a new virtual machine to an existing Azure service, or creates a virtual machine and service in the current subscription if either the Location or AffinityGroup is specified.

Examples

Example 1: Create a virtual machine for a Windows configuration

PS C:\> New-AzureVMConfig -Name "VirtualMachine07" -InstanceSize ExtraSmall -ImageName (Get-AzureVMImage)[4].ImageName | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $adminPassword -AdminUsername PsTestAdmin | New-AzureVM -ServiceName "ContosoService" -AffinityGroup "Contoso" -WaitForBoot

This command creates a provisioning configuration based on a virtual machine configuration for the Windows operating system, and uses it to create a virtual machine in a specified affinity group.

Example 2: Create a virtual machine for a Linux configuration

PS C:\> New-AzureVMConfig -Name "SUSEVM02" -InstanceSize ExtraSmall -ImageName (Get-AzureVMImage)[7].ImageName | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Linux -LinuxUser "RootMain" -Password "password" -AdminUsername PsTestAdmin | New-AzureVM

This command creates a provisioning configuration based on a virtual machine configuration for Linux, and uses it to create a virtual machine in a specified affinity group.

Example 3: Create a virtual machine and add a data disk

PS C:\> $Images = Get-AzureVMImage
PS C:\> $Image = $Images[4]
PS C:\> $VirtualMachine02 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name "VirtualMachine02" -InstanceSize ExtraSmall -ImageName $myImage.ImageName | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password "password" | Add-AzureDataDisk -CreateNew -DiskSizeInGB 50 -DiskLabel "DataDisk50" -LUN 0

The first two commands get available images by using the Get-AzureVMImage cmdlet, and stores one of them in the $Image variable.

This command creates a provisioning configuration based on a virtual machine configuration for the Windows operating system, and uses it to create a virtual machine with an Azure data disk.

Example 4: Create a virtual machine with a reserved IP address

PS C:\> New-AzureVMConfig -Name "VirtualMachine06" -InstanceSize ExtraSmall -ImageName (Get-AzureVMImage)[4].ImageName | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $adminPassword -AdminUsername "AdminMain" | New-AzureVM -ServiceName "ContosoService02" -AffinityGroup "Contoso" -ReservedIPName $ipName

This command creates a provisioning configuration based on a virtual machine configuration for the Windows operating system, and uses it to create a virtual machine with a reserved IP address.
