Description

The New-AzVM cmdlet creates a virtual machine in Azure. This cmdlet takes a virtual machine object as input. The New-AzVM cmdlet will create a new storage account for boot diagnostics if one does not already exist.

Use the New-AzVMConfig cmdlet to create a virtual machine object.
Then use the following cmdlets to set different properties of the virtual machine object:

Add-AzVMNetworkInterface to set the network profile.
Set-AzVMOperatingSystem to set the OS profile.
Set-AzVMSourceImage to set the source image.
Set-AzVMOSDisk to set the OS disk(storage profile).
Get-AzComputeResourceSku can also be used to find out available virtual machine sizes for your subscription and region.

The SimpleParameterSet provides a convenient method to create a VM by making common VM creation arguments optional.

See Quickstart: Create a Windows virtual machine in Azure with PowerShell for tutorial.

Examples

Example 1: Create a virtual machine

New-AzVM -Name MyVm -Credential (Get-Credential)

VERBOSE: Use 'mstsc /v:myvm-222222.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com' to connect to the VM.

ResourceGroupName        : MyVm
Id                       : /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/MyVm/provi
ders/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/MyVm
VmId                     : 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
Name                     : MyVm
Type                     : Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines
Location                 : eastus
Tags                     : {}
HardwareProfile          : {VmSize}
NetworkProfile           : {NetworkInterfaces}
OSProfile                : {ComputerName, AdminUsername, WindowsConfiguration, Secrets}
ProvisioningState        : Succeeded
StorageProfile           : {ImageReference, OsDisk, DataDisks}
FullyQualifiedDomainName : myvm-222222.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com

This example script shows how to create a virtual machine. The script will ask a user name and password for the VM. This script uses several other cmdlets.

Example 2: Create a virtual machine from a custom user image

## VM Account
# Credentials for Local Admin account you created in the sysprepped (generalized) vhd image
$VMLocalAdminUser = "LocalAdminUser"
$VMLocalAdminSecurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
## Azure Account
$LocationName = "westus"
$ResourceGroupName = "MyResourceGroup"
# This a Premium_LRS storage account.
# It is required in order to run a client VM with efficiency and high performance.
$StorageAccount = "Mydisk"

## VM
$OSDiskName = "MyClient"
$ComputerName = "MyClientVM"
$OSDiskUri = "https://Mydisk.blob.core.windows.net/disks/MyOSDisk.vhd"
$SourceImageUri = "https://Mydisk.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/MyOSImage.vhd"
$VMName = "MyVM"
# Modern hardware environment with fast disk, high IOPs performance.
# Required to run a client VM with efficiency and performance
$VMSize = "Standard_DS3"
$OSDiskCaching = "ReadWrite"
$OSCreateOption = "FromImage"

## Networking
$DNSNameLabel = "mydnsname" # mydnsname.westus.cloudapp.azure.com
$NetworkName = "MyNet"
$NICName = "MyNIC"
$PublicIPAddressName = "MyPIP"
$SubnetName = "MySubnet"
$SubnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/24"
$VnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/16"

$SingleSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name $SubnetName -AddressPrefix $SubnetAddressPrefix
$Vnet = New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name $NetworkName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -AddressPrefix $VnetAddressPrefix -Subnet $SingleSubnet
$PIP = New-AzPublicIpAddress -Name $PublicIPAddressName -DomainNameLabel $DNSNameLabel -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -AllocationMethod Dynamic
$NIC = New-AzNetworkInterface -Name $NICName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -SubnetId $Vnet.Subnets[0].Id -PublicIpAddressId $PIP.Id

$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($VMLocalAdminUser, $VMLocalAdminSecurePassword);

$securityTypeStnd = "Standard"
$VirtualMachine = New-AzVMConfig -VMName $VMName -VMSize $VMSize -SecurityType $securityTypeStnd 
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -VM $VirtualMachine -Windows -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $Credential -ProvisionVMAgent -EnableAutoUpdate
$VirtualMachine = Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -VM $VirtualMachine -Id $NIC.Id
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMOSDisk -VM $VirtualMachine -Name $OSDiskName -VhdUri $OSDiskUri -SourceImageUri $SourceImageUri -Caching $OSDiskCaching -CreateOption $OSCreateOption -Windows

New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -VM $VirtualMachine -Verbose -Zone @("1")

This example takes an existing sys-prepped, generalized custom operating system image and attaches a data disk to it, provisions a new network, deploys the VHD, and runs it. This script can be used for automatic provisioning because it uses the local virtual machine admin credentials inline instead of calling Get-Credential which requires user interaction. This script assumes that you are already logged into your Azure account. You can confirm your login status by using the Get-AzSubscription cmdlet.

Example 3: Create a VM from a marketplace image without a Public IP

$VMLocalAdminUser = "LocalAdminUser"
$VMLocalAdminSecurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
$LocationName = "eastus2"
$ResourceGroupName = "MyResourceGroup"
$ComputerName = "MyVM"
$VMName = "MyVM"
$VMSize = "Standard_DS3"

$NetworkName = "MyNet"
$NICName = "MyNIC"
$SubnetName = "MySubnet"
$SubnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/24"
$VnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/16"

$SingleSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name $SubnetName -AddressPrefix $SubnetAddressPrefix
$Vnet = New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name $NetworkName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -AddressPrefix $VnetAddressPrefix -Subnet $SingleSubnet
$NIC = New-AzNetworkInterface -Name $NICName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -SubnetId $Vnet.Subnets[0].Id

$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($VMLocalAdminUser, $VMLocalAdminSecurePassword);

$VirtualMachine = New-AzVMConfig -VMName $VMName -VMSize $VMSize
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -VM $VirtualMachine -Windows -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $Credential -ProvisionVMAgent -EnableAutoUpdate
$VirtualMachine = Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -VM $VirtualMachine -Id $NIC.Id
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMSourceImage -VM $VirtualMachine -PublisherName 'MicrosoftWindowsServer' -Offer 'WindowsServer' -Skus '2022-datacenter-azure-edition-core' -Version latest

New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -VM $VirtualMachine -Verbose

This command creates a VM from a marketplace image without a Public IP.

Example 4: Create a VM with a UserData value:

# VM Account
$VMLocalAdminUser = "LocalAdminUser";
$VMLocalAdminSecurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force;

# Azure Account
$LocationName = "eastus";
$ResourceGroupName = "MyResourceGroup";

# VM Profile & Hardware
$VMName = 'v' + $ResourceGroupName;
$domainNameLabel = "d1" + $ResourceGroupName;
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($VMLocalAdminUser, $VMLocalAdminSecurePassword);

# Create UserData value
$text = "text for UserData";
$bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($text);
$userData = [Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes);

# Create VM
New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $VMName -Credential $Credential -DomainNameLabel $domainNameLabel -UserData $userData;
$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $VMName -UserData;

The UserData value must always be Base64 encoded.

Example 5: Creating a new VM with an existing subnet in another resource group

$UserName = "User"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
$psCred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($UserName, $Password)

$Vnet = $(Get-AzVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroup2 -Name VnetName)
$PIP = (Get-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroup2 -Name PublicIPName)

$NIC = New-AzNetworkInterface -Name NICname -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroup2 -Location SouthCentralUS -SubnetId $Vnet.Subnets[1].Id -PublicIpAddressId $PIP.Id
$VirtualMachine = New-AzVMConfig -VMName VirtualMachineName -VMSize Standard_D4s_v3
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -VM $VirtualMachine -Windows -ComputerName computerName -Credential $psCred -ProvisionVMAgent -EnableAutoUpdate
$VirtualMachine = Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -VM $VirtualMachine -Id $NIC.Id
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMSourceImage -VM $VirtualMachine -PublisherName 'MicrosoftWindowsServer' -Offer 'WindowsServer' -Skus '2022-datacenter-azure-edition-core' -Version latest
New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroup1 -Location SouthCentralUS -VM $VirtualMachine

This example deploys a Windows VM from the marketplace in one resource group with an existing subnet in another resource group.

Example 6: Creating a new VM as part of a VMSS with a PlatformFaultDomain value.

$resourceGroupName= "ResourceGroupName";
$loc = 'eastus';
New-AzResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName -Location $loc -Force;

$domainNameLabel = "d1" + $resourceGroupName;
$vmname = "vm" + $resourceGroupName;
$platformFaultDomainVMDefaultSet = 2;
$vmssFaultDomain = 3;
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force;
$user = <USERNAME>;
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $securePassword);
$vmssName = "vmss" + $resourceGroupName;

$vmssConfig = New-AzVmssConfig -Location $loc -PlatformFaultDomainCount $vmssFaultDomain;
$vmss = New-AzVmss -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmssName -VirtualMachineScaleSet $vmssConfig;

$vm = New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmname -Credential $cred -DomainNameLabel $domainNameLabel -PlatformFaultDomain $platformFaultDomainVMDefaultSet -VmssId $vmss.Id;

This example creates a new VM as part of a VMSS with a PlatformFaultDomain value.

Example 7: Create a VM using the -Image alias.

$resourceGroupName= "<Resource Group Name>"
$loc = "<Azure Region>"
$domainNameLabel = "<Domain Name Label>"
$vmname = "<Virtual Machine Name>"
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
$user = "<Username>"
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $securePassword)

New-AzResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName -Location $loc -Force

# Create a VM using an Image alias.
$vmname = 'v' + $resourceGroupName
$domainNameLabel = "d" + $resourceGroupName
$vm = New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmname -Credential $cred -Image OpenSuseLeap154Gen2 -DomainNameLabel $domainNameLabel

$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmname

This example creates a new VM using the -Image parameter, providing many default values to the VM.

Example 8: Creating a VM for Trusted Launch SecurityType.

$rgname = <Resource Group Name>;
$loc = "eastus";
 
New-AzResourceGroup -Name $rgname -Location $loc -Force;    
# VM Profile & Hardware       
$domainNameLabel1 = 'd1' + $rgname;
$vmsize = 'Standard_D4s_v3';
$vmname1 = 'v' + $rgname;
$imageName = "Win2022AzureEdition";
$disable = $false;
$enable = $true;
$securityType = "TrustedLaunch";

$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force;
$user = <Username>;
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $securePassword);

# VM creation using Simple parameterset
New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Location $loc -Name $vmname1 -Credential $cred -Size $vmsize -Image $imageName -DomainNameLabel $domainNameLabel1 -SecurityType $securityType;
$vm1 = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname1;

# Verify Values
#$vm1.SecurityProfile.SecurityType "TrustedLaunch";
#$vm1.SecurityProfile.UefiSettings.VTpmEnabled $true;
#$vm1.SecurityProfile.UefiSettings.SecureBootEnabled $true;

This example Creates a new VM with the TrustedLaunch Security Type and sets flags EnableSecureBoot and EnableVtpm as True by default. A Trusted Launch VM requires a Gen2 image. Please check the Trusted Launch feature page for more information.

Example 9: Create a VM with Trusted Launch turned on by defualt using New-AzVMConfig.

$rgname = "<Resource Group Name>";
$loc = "<Azure Region>";
$vmname = 'vm' + $rgname;
$domainNameLabel = "d1" + $rgname;
$vnetname = "vn" + $rgname;
$vnetAddress = "10.0.0.0/16";
$subnetname = "slb" + $rgname;
$subnetAddress = "10.0.2.0/24";
$OSDiskName = $vmname + "-osdisk";
$NICName = $vmname+ "-nic";
$NSGName = $vmname + "-NSG";
$OSDiskSizeinGB = 128;
$VMSize = "Standard_DS2_v2";
$PublisherName = "MicrosoftWindowsServer";
$Offer = "WindowsServer";
$SKU = "2022-datacenter-azure-edition";
$version = "latest";
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force;
$user = <Username>;
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $securePassword);
# Network setup
$frontendSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name $subnetname -AddressPrefix $subnetAddress;
$vnet = New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name $vnetname -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Location $loc -AddressPrefix $vnetAddress -Subnet $frontendSubnet;
$nsgRuleRDP = New-AzNetworkSecurityRuleConfig -Name RDP  -Protocol Tcp  -Direction Inbound -Priority 1001 -SourceAddressPrefix * -SourcePortRange * -DestinationAddressPrefix * -DestinationPortRange 3389 -Access Allow;
$nsg = New-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Location $loc -Name $NSGName  -SecurityRules $nsgRuleRDP;
$nic = New-AzNetworkInterface -Name $NICName -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Location $loc -SubnetId $vnet.Subnets[0].Id -NetworkSecurityGroupId $nsg.Id -EnableAcceleratedNetworking;
# VM
$vmConfig = New-AzVMConfig -VMName $vmName -VMSize $VMSize;
Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -VM $vmConfig -Windows -ComputerName $vmName -Credential $cred;
Set-AzVMSourceImage -VM $vmConfig -PublisherName $PublisherName -Offer $Offer -Skus $SKU -Version $version ;
Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -VM $vmConfig -Id $nic.Id;
New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Location $loc -VM $vmConfig;
$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname;
# Verify $vm.SecurityProfile.SecurityType is TrustedLaunch
# Verify $vm.SecurityProfile.UefiSettings.SecureBootEnabled is true.
# Verify $vm.SecurityProfile.UefiSettings.VTpmEnabled is true.

This example shows how to create a VM with a valid Gen2 image, allowing the VM to default to TrustedLaunch which requires Gen2 images. Please check the Trusted Launch feature page for more information.

Example 10: Creates a VM with TrustedLaunch turned on by default.

$rgname = "<Resource Group Name>";
$loc = "<Azure Region>";
$vmname = 'vm' + $rgname;
$domainNameLabel = "d1" + $rgname;
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force;
$user = <Username>;
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $securePassword);
# Create VM
$vm = New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname -Credential $cred -DomainNameLabel $domainNameLabel; 
$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname;
# Verify $vm.SecurityProfile.SecurityType is TrustedLaunch.
# Verify the $vm.StorageProfile.ImageReference.Sku has defaulted to "2022-datacenter-azure-edition", a Gen2 image.

This example shows how the simple cmdlet call with minimal parameters will result in a TrustedLaunch enabled VM with a Gen2 image. Please check the Trusted Launch feature page for more information.
