Examples

Example 1: Create a virtual machine object

The first command gets the availability set named AvailablitySet03 in the resource group named ResourceGroup11, and then stores that object in the $AvailabilitySet variable.

The second command creates a virtual machine object, and then stores it in the $VirtualMachine variable. The command assigns a name and size to the virtual machine. The virtual machine belongs to the availability set stored in $AvailabilitySet.

$AvailabilitySet = Get-AzureAvailabilitySet -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "AvailabilitySet03"
PS C:\> $VirtualMachine = New-AzureVMConfig -VMName "VirtualMachine07" -VMSize "Standard_A1" -AvailabilitySetID $AvailabilitySet.Id
