Machines from PowerShell

PowerShell for Automation and Advanced Management

Automation Query, manage and configure – at scale:

• Virtual Machines

• Storage across multiple subscriptions and storage accounts

• Tiered deployment workflows

Virtual Machines Configure storage and networking

Domain join to AD on-premises

Bring your own machine images or disks

Use remote PowerShell

Virtual Network Configure Virtual Network

Manage configuration and gateway

Connect to on-premises networks

Storage Upload & download VHDs from storage accounts to on-premises

Copy VHDs between storage accounts and subscriptions

What can you do with PowerShell?

AutomationQuery, Manage and Configure Virtual Machines across multiple subscriptions, cloud services and storage accounts.

Virtual NetworkingCompletely Configure VNETs from a Script

Provision Fully Configured Virtual MachinesDomain JoinedStorage and Networking Configured

Setting up your Subscription

Use: Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile and Import-AzurePublishSettingsFileTo Import Downloaded Publish Profile (.publishsettings) http://windows.azure.com/download/publishprofile.aspx

Automatically configures Subscription ID, Certificate, Service Endpoint and Subscription Name.

Manual Configuration of Subscription

Associate Certificate and Subscription ID$cert = Get-Item cert:\CurrentUser\My\CERTTHUMBPRINTSet-AzureSubscription 'mysub' -Certificate $cert -SubscriptionID $id

Subscription Management

Subscription Settings Persisted C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Windows Azure Powershell

Subscription Example<Subscription name="somesub1"> <SubscriptionId>13d83b03-6d06-4770-943c-3d46766c3a35</SubscriptionId>

<Thumbprint>2AC8112B34CC840A30B9C2716AE840D5DC107510</Thumbprint> <ServiceEndpoint>https://management.core.windows.net/</ServiceEndpoint> </Subscription>

Switching Between Subscription Settings

Multiple Subscription Support Get-AzureSubscription | foreach { Select-AzureSubscription $_.SubscriptionName # Perform Management Operation Against Each Subscription}

Setting the current storage account

Returns Storage AccountGet-AzureStorageAccount | Select StorageAccountName

Cmdlets like New-AzureQuickVM will use this Account

Sets the Current Storage AccountSet-AzureSubscription 'somesub1' -CurrentStorageAccount 'mystorage‘

Create Multiple Pre-Defined VMs in a BatchNew-AzureVM -VMs $vm1, $vm2, $vm3

Advanced Provisioning Configuration ModeProvision With: Endpoints, Data DisksConfigure: Cache Settings for OS/Data Disks and Subnet Names

Simple VM Creation

First Virtual Machine in a NEW Cloud Service (-Location specified)New-AzureQuickVM -Windows -ServiceName $svc -Name $vm1 -ImageName $wimg -Location $location -Password $pwd

New Virtual Machine in an Existing Cloud Service (no –Location)New-AzureQuickVM -Windows -ServiceName $svc -Name $vm2 -ImageName $wimg -Password $pwd

Creating a Linux Virtual Machine in an Existing Cloud ServiceNew-AzureQuickVM -Linux -ServiceName $svc -Name $vm3 -ImageName $limg -LinuxUser $lu -Password $pwd

Configuring VM at Provisioning

Create Configuration Object with New-AzureVMConfigModify with Add-* cmdletsAdd with New-AzureVM

New-AzureVMConfig -Name $vm1 -InstanceSize Medium -ImageName $img | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $pwd | Add-AzureDataDisk -CreateNew -DiskLabel 'data' -DiskSizeInGB 10 -LUN 0 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name 'web' -PublicPort 80 -LocalPort 80 -Protocol tcp | New-AzureVM -ServiceName $newSvc -Location $location

VM Batch Creation

Create Multiple Configured VMs and Pass to New-AzureVM

$vm1 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name 'myvm1' -InstanceSize 'Small' -ImageName $img | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $pwd

$vm2 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name 'myvm1' -InstanceSize 'Small' -ImageName $img | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $pwd $vm3 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name 'myvm1' -InstanceSize 'Small' -ImageName $img | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $pwd New-AzureVM -CreateService -ServiceName $cloudSvcName -VMs $vm1,$vm2,$vm3 -Location $dc

VM Batch Creation (using an array)

Create Multiple Configured VMs and Pass to New-AzureVM

$vmcount = 5$vms = @()for($i = 0; $i -lt 5; $i++){ $vmn = 'myvm' + $i $vms += New-AzureVMConfig -Name $vmn -InstanceSize 'Small' -ImageName $img | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -Password $pwd | Add-AzureDataDisk -CreateNew -DiskLabel 'data' -DiskSizeInGB 10 -LUN 0 | Add-AzureDataDisk -CreateNew -DiskLabel 'logs' -DiskSizeInGB 10 -LUN 1 }
