Creating VM through PowerShell Part II (Custom Create)

This is continuation of my previous article “Creating VM through PowerShell Part I (Quick Create).

In this article, we will see how to create Virtual Machine through Azure PowerShell.

Following are the syntax to be used to deploy “Custom Create” VM in Microsoft Azure through Azure PowerShell:

$adminUser = "Username"
$password = "Password"
$serviceName = "Service_Name"    # ServiceName means CloudService name e.g. “squons”
$location = "Location_Name"    # In which location you want to deploy your VM e.g. "West US"
$size = "Size_Name"                        # Size/Tier name e.g. “Small/Medium/Large” etc
$vmName = "VM_Name"            # Name or Virtual Machine e.g. “SQUONS-VM1”

$imageFamily = "Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter"
$imageName = Get-AzureVMImage |
                                                             where { $_.ImageFamily -eq $imageFamily } |
                                                             sort PublishedDate -Descending |
                                                             select -ExpandProperty ImageName -First 1

New-AzureVMConfig -Name $vmName `
                                     -InstanceSize $size `
                                     -ImageName $imageName |

Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows `
                                                   -AdminUsername $adminUser `
                                                   -Password $password |

Add-AzureDataDisk -CreateNew `
                                  -DiskSizeInGB 10 `
                                  -LUN 0 `
                                  -DiskLabel "data" |

Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "RDP" `
                                  -Protocol tcp `
                                  -LocalPort 3389 `
                                  -PublicPort 49913 |

New-AzureVM -ServiceName $serviceName `
                          -Location $location

Following figure depicts the PowerShell command used to deploy VM in Microsoft Azure:

To check the VM status through Azure PowerShell, use the below command:

PS C:\> Get-AzureVM
