azure-mgmt-compute

Windows Azure SDK for Node.js - Compute Management

This project provides a Node.js package that makes it easy to manage Windows Azure Virtual Machines and Cloud Services. Right now it supports:

• Node.js version: 0.6.15 or higher
• API version: 2013-11-01

Features

• Manage virtual machine
• Manage virtual machine OS and data disk
• Manage virtual machine image
• Manage deployment
• Manage cloud service
• Manage service certificate
• Get operating systems and operating system families

How to Install

npm install azure-mgmt-compute

How to Use

Authentication

This library support management certificate authentication. To authenticate the library for the REST API calls, you need to

• Have a management certificate set up in your Windows Azure subscription. You can do this by
  • Either uploading a certificate in the Windows Azure management portal.
  • Or use the Windows Azure Xplat-CLI.
• Obtain the .pem file of your certificate. If you used Windows Azure Xplat-CLI to set it up. You can run azure account cert export to get the .pem file.

Create the ComputeManagementClient

var fs                = require('fs'),
    computeManagement = require('azure-mgmt-compute');

var computeManagementClient = computeManagement.createComputeManagementClient(computeManagement.createCertificateCloudCredentials({
  subscriptionId: '<your subscription id>',
  pem: fs.readFileSync('<your pem file>')
}));

Manage Virtual Machine

var serviceName = "cloudservice01";
var deploymentName = "deployment01";
var virualMachineName = "vm01";
var storageAccountName = "storage01";
var diskContainerName = "vhds";

// List all the virtual machine images you can use.
computeManagementClient.virtualMachineImages.list(function (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.info(result);
  }
});

// Create a cloud service.
computeManagementClient.hostedServices.create({
  serviceName: serviceName,
  label: "cloud service 01",
  location: "West US"
}, function (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.info(result);

    // Create a virtual machine in the cloud service.
    computeManagementClient.virtualMachines.createDeployment(serviceName, {
      name: deploymentName,
      deploymentSlot: "Production",
      label: "deployment 01",
      roles: [{
