An optimized solution for installing Wiz Runtime Sensor in all Virtual machines across our organizations Subscriptions.

Question

Hi Team,

I am currently working on an objective to install the 'Wiz Runtime Sensor' across all Virtual Machines in our organization's Azure subscriptions. I have compiled a list of active VMs that are potential candidates for this installation. As I am relatively new to Azure, I would greatly appreciate your expert suggestions and guidance on this task. Below is the command I plan to use for installing the component:sudo WIZ_API_CLIENT_ID=

It sounds like you are wanting to run the command sudo WIZ_API_CLIENT_ID= across a list of Azure Linux VMs. Please let me know if I am understanding this correctly.

One method would be to utilize Run Command for Azure to execute the command across a list of VMs. Assuming you have a file with the VM names you could use this script to fetch the Resource Group and run the command.

#!/bin/bash

# Path to the file containing VM names
vm_file="vm_names.txt"

# Command to execute on each VM
command_to_run="your-command-here"

# Loop through each VM name in the file
while IFS= read -r vm_name; do
    # Get the resource group of the VM
    resource_group=$(az vm show --name "$vm_name" --query "resourceGroup" -o tsv)
    
    # Execute the command on the VM
    az vm run-command invoke --resource-group "$resource_group" --name "$vm_name" --command-id RunShellScript --scripts "$command_to_run"
done < "$vm_file"

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
