Sample Windows Azure Virtual Machines PowerShell Scripts

by | Dec 18, 2012 | BizTalk Community Blogs via Syndication | 0 comments

I sometimes show a platform that requires a bunch of Windows Azure virtual machines. It has 1 Active Directory domain controller (n123dc1), 3 SQL Server VMs for database mirroring (n123sql1, n123sql2, and n123sp20131 which also happens to have a SharePoint Server 2013 installed), and 2 members of a SharePoint 2012 Web Front End.

Between two demo sessions, I keep the VHD files in Windows Azure blob storage, as well as the virtual network because they don’t cost too much, but I don’t let the virtual machines deployed so that they don’t cost anything.

In order to restart the whole platform I use the following script (I slightly obfuscated one or two values).

 

#region init
Import-Module 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\PowerShell\Azure\Azure.psd1'

$subscription = 'Azdem169B44999X'
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscription -CurrentStorageAccount 'storrageazure2'
Set-AzureSubscription -DefaultSubscription $subscription

$cloudSvcName = 'n123'
#endregion

#region DC
$vmName='n123dc1'
$disk0Name = 'n123dc1-n123dc1-0-20120912092405'
$disk1Name = 'n123dc1-n123dc1-0-20120912105309'
$vNetName = 'Network123'
$subNet = 'DCSubnet'

$vm1 = New-AzureVMConfig -DiskName $disk0Name -InstanceSize ExtraSmall -Name $vmName -Label $vmName |

    Set-AzureSubnet $subNet |

In order to stop the whole platform, I use the following script:

 

#region init
Import-Module 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\PowerShell\Azure\Azure.psd1'

$subscription = 'Azdem169B44999X'
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscription -CurrentStorageAccount 'storrageazure2'
Set-AzureSubscription -DefaultSubscription $subscription

$cloudSvcName = 'n123'
#endregion

#region shutdown and delete
echo 'will shut down and remove the following'
Get-AzureVM -ServiceName $cloudSvcName | select name
Get-AzureVM -ServiceName $cloudSvcName | Stop-AzureVM
Get-AzureVM -ServiceName $cloudSvcName | Remove-AzureVM
#endregion

 

In order to get started, I read Michael Washam’s blog.
