Create A Virtual Machine In Azure Using Powershell






Steps




  1. Open PowerShell in the admin mode
  2. Enter the credentials to connect to the Azure account
  3. Write the following code
    4. new-azvm -name 'MyVM' -resourcegroup 'karan' -location 'eastus' -Credential (Get-Credential)




  1. myVM is the virtual machine name.
  2. Karan is the resource group name.

Creating All The Components Of A Virtual Machine Using Powershell




  1. Create a subnet
  2. Create a new virtual network
  3. Create a public IP address
  4. Create a network security group rule
  5. Create the network security group
  6. Create a network interface
  7. Create the virtual machine


1. Create a subnet configuration
$demosubnetConfig = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name default -AddressPrefix 10.3.0.0/24
2. Create a new virtual network
$vnet = New-AzVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName rg -Location EastUS -Name demonetworknew -AddressPrefix 10.3.0.0/16 -Subnet $demosubnetConfig
3. Create a public IP address
$demoip = New-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName rg -Location EastUS -Name "demo-ip" -AllocationMethod Dynamic
4. Create a Network Security Group rule
$RuleConfig = New-AzNetworkSecurityRuleConfig -Name RuleRDP -Protocol Tcp -Direction Inbound -Priority 300 -SourceAddressPrefix "2.49.112.48" -SourcePortRange * -DestinationAddressPrefix * -DestinationPortRange 3389 -Access Allow
5. Create a Network Security Group
$securitygroup = New-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName rg -Location EastUS -Name demonsg -SecurityRules $RuleConfig
6. Create the network interface
$nic = New-AzNetworkInterface -Name demonetworkcard123 -ResourceGroupName rg -Location EastUS -SubnetId $vnet.Subnets[0].Id -PublicIpAddressId $demoip.Id -NetworkSecurityGroupId $securitygroup.Id
7. Prompt for the Account credentials for the virtual machine
$cred = Get-Credential
8. Create the virtual machine configuration
$vmConfig = New-AzVMConfig -VMName demovm -VMSize Standard_D2s_v3 | Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows -ComputerName demovm -Credential $cred | Set-AzVMSourceImage -PublisherName MicrosoftWindowsServer -Offer WindowsServer -Skus 2016-Datacenter -Version latest | Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -Id $nic.Id
9. Create the virtual machine
New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName rg -Location EastUS -VM $vmConfig
