Azure Virtual Machines Python example

This folder contains a Python application example that handles Virtual Machines on Microsoft Azure.

Requirements

  • You must have a Microsoft Azure subscription.

  • You must have the following installed:

    • Python 3
    • Azure CLI

  • The code was written for:

    • Python 3
    • Azure SDK for Python: New Management Libraries

  • You install individual Azure library packages on a per-project basis depending on your needs. It is recommended using Python virtual environments for each project. There is no standalone "SDK" installer for Python.

  • Install the specified python packages.

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Using the code

  • Sign in Azure (Interactively).

    The Azure CLI's default authentication method for logins uses a web browser and access token to sign in.

    1. Run the Azure CLI login command.

      az login

      If the CLI can open your default browser, it will do so and load an Azure sign-in page.

      Otherwise, open a browser page at https://aka.ms/devicelogin and enter the authorization code displayed in your terminal.

      If no web browser is available or the web browser fails to open, use device code flow with az login --use-device-code.

    2. Sign in with your account credentials in the browser.

    Make sure you select your subscription by:

    az account set --subscription <name or id>

  • Configure your AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variable.

    Set the AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variable with the Microsoft Azure subscription ID.

    To set this variable on Linux, macOS, or Unix, use export:

    export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>

    To set this variable on Windows, use set:

    set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>

    You must replace the value of:

    • <SUBSCRIPTION_ID> by the Microsoft Azure subscription ID (Ex.: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx").

  • Run the code.

    Run application:

    python azurevm.py

    You can select an option in the menu in order to run every command:

    • 1 = List all Virtual Machines
    • 2 = Create a Virtual Machine
    • 3 = List Virtual Machine
    • 4 = Start Virtual Machine
    • 5 = Stop Virtual Machine
    • 6 = Restart Virtual Machine
    • 7 = Delete/Deallocate Virtual Machine

  • Test the application.

    You should see the new virtual machine and modification of states with the Azure console.
