Microsoft Azure CLI

A great cloud needs great tools; we’re excited to introduce Azure CLI, our next generation multi-platform command line experience for Azure.

Usage

$ az [ group ] [ subgroup ] [ command ] {parameters}

Getting Started

After installation, use the az configure command to help setup your environment.

$ az configure

For usage and help content, pass in the -h parameter, for example:

$ az storage -h
$ az vm create -h

Highlights

Here are a few features and concepts that can help you get the most out of the Azure CLI.

The following examples are showing using the --output table format, you can change your default using the $ az configure command.

Tab Completion

We support tab-completion for groups, commands, and some parameters

# looking up resource group and name
$ az vm show -g [tab][tab]
AccountingGroup   RGOne  WebPropertiesRG
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n [tab][tab]
StoreVM  Bizlogic
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n Bizlogic

Querying

You can use the --query parameter and the JMESPath query syntax to customize your output.

$ az vm list --query '[].{name:name,os:storageProfile.osDisk.osType}'
Name                    Os
----------------------  -------
storevm                 Linux
bizlogic                Linux
demo32111vm             Windows
dcos-master-39DB807E-0  Linux

Creating a new Linux VM

The following block creates a new resource group in the ‘westus’ region, then creates a new Ubuntu VM. We automatically provide a series of smart defaults, such as setting up SSH with your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key. For more details, try az vm create -h.

$ az group create -l westus -n MyGroup
Name     Location
-------  ----------
MyGroup  westus

$ az vm create -g MyGroup -n MyVM --image ubuntults
MacAddress         ResourceGroup    PublicIpAddress    PrivateIpAddress
-----------------  ---------------  -----------------  ------------------
00-0D-3A-30-B2-D7  MyGroup          52.160.111.118     10.0.0.4

$ ssh 52.160.111.118
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.19.0-65-generic x86_64)

Release History

  • Introduced a new [Preview] status to tag to more clearly communicate to customers when a command group, command or argument is in preview status. This was previously called out in help text or communicated implicitly by the command module version number. The CLI will be removing version numbers for individual packages in the future, so this mechanism will be the sole way to communicate that a feature is in preview. Items which are not labeled as being in preview can be considered to be GA. Not that if a command is in preview, all of its arguments are as well, and, by extension, if a command group is labeled as being in preview, then all commands and arguments are considered to be in preview as well.

    As a result of this change, several command groups may seem to “suddenly” appear to be in a preview status with this release. What actually happened is that most packages were in a preview status, but are being deemed GA with this release.
