Azure CLI

• Installing Azure CLI Refer Here
• Azure CLI and Azure Powershell can be executed from azure cloud shell
  
  
  
• azure cli commands usage is simple Refer Here
  

az <service> <command> [<arguments>]

• Setup for working with Azure CLI, Lets configure Visual Studio Code, Ensure Azure CLI tools extension is installed
• Any cli command will give the response in json format.
• Lets create a resource group. Refer Here
  

az group create --location 'eastus' --name 'fromcli'

* For querying the outputs azure cli supports jmes path Refer Here
* Now delete the resource group

az group delete --name 'fromcli'

• Lets search for a vm image.
• First lets search publishers

az vm image list-publishers --query "[*].name"

• Lets pick Canonical and lets find offers

az vm image list-offers --publisher "Canonical" --location "eastus" --query "[*].name"

• Lets pick sku

az vm image list-skus --location "eastus"  --offer "UbuntuServer" --publisher "Canonical"

• Use the following cli

az vm image list-skus --location "eastus"  --offer "0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal" --publisher "Canonical" --query "[*].name"
[
  "20_04-lts",
  "20_04-lts-gen2"
]

• The following azure cli will create a linux and windows vm in a resource group

# create a resource group
az group create --location 'southindia' --name 'fromcli2'

az vm create --resource-group 'fromcli2' --name 'myubuntuvm' `
    --image "Canonical:0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal:20_04-lts-gen2:20.04.202004230" `
    --admin-username 'qtdevops' `
    --admin-password 'motherindia@123' --size 'Standard_DS1'`
    --public-ip-sku Standard

az vm create --resource-group 'fromcli2' --name 'mywindowsserver' `
    --image "Win2019Datacenter" `
    --admin-username 'qtdevops' `
    --admin-password 'motherindia@123' --size 'Standard_DS1' `
    --public-ip-sku Standard
