I have used AWS nodejs SDK and created a instance by using AMI(amazon machine image) ID. Now, I need to replicate the same for Azure. I came across the documentation and found a method like below:
resourceClient.resourceGroups.createOrUpdate(resourceGroupName, groupParameters, callback);
But, I am not sure how to create an image (like AMI in AWS) and then use the image id for launching a VM in Azure. The documentation seems to be pretty straight to the point and lacks explanation required for a beginner like me. Are there any code samples/examples which will be useful for those who are new to azure?
Regarding the issue, please refer to the following code
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name YOUR-SERVICE-PRINCIPAL-NAME
const { ClientSecretCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const { NetworkManagementClient } = require("@azure/arm-network");
const { ComputeManagementClient } = require("@azure/arm-compute");
const { ResourceManagementClient } = require("@azure/arm-resources");
const clientId = "the appId of the sp";
const tenant = "tenant id";
const clientSecret = "the clientsecret of the sp";
const subscriptionId = "the id of your Azure subscription";
const creds = new ClientSecretCredential(tenant, clientId, clientSecret);
const resouceClient = new ResourceManagementClient(creds, subscriptionId);
const newtworkClient = new NetworkManagementClient(creds, subscriptionId);
const computeClient = new ComputeManagementClient(creds, subscriptionId);
async function main() {
try {
// create resource group
const group = await resouceClient.resourceGroups.createOrUpdate(
"testdf78",
{
location: "eastasia",
}
);
// create vnet and subnet
const vnet = await newtworkClient.virtualNetworks.createOrUpdate(
group.name,
"testdf1_vnet",
{
addressSpace: {
addressPrefixes: ["10.0.0.0/16"],
},
location: group.location,
subnets: [{ name: "default", addressPrefix: "10.0.0.0/24" }],
}
);
// create public ip
const ip = await newtworkClient.publicIPAddresses.createOrUpdate(
group.name,
"testdf1_ip",
{
location: group.location,
publicIPAllocationMethod: "Dynamic",
}
);
// create nic
const nic = await newtworkClient.networkInterfaces.createOrUpdate(
group.name,
"testdf1_nic",
{
location: group.location,
ipConfigurations: [
{
name: "test",
privateIPAllocationMethod: "Dynamic",
subnet: vnet.subnets[0],
publicIPAddress: ip,
},
],
}
);
// get you custom image
const image = await computeClient.images.get("<groupname>", "<image name>");
//create vm
computeClient.virtualMachines.createOrUpdate(group.name, "testdf1", {
