  1. Sign in to your Azure subscription using the steps listed in Connect to Azure from the Azure CLI 1.0.

  2. Make sure you are in the Classic deployment mode as follows:

    azure config mode asm

  3. Find out the Linux image that you want to load from the available images as follows:

     azure vm image list | grep "Linux"

    In a Windows command-prompt window, use find instead of grep.

  4. Use azure vm create to create a VM with the Linux image from the previous list. This step creates a cloud service and storage account. You could also connect this VM to an existing cloud service with a -c option. Create an SSH endpoint to log in to the Linux virtual machine with the -e option. The following example creates a VM named myVM using the Ubuntu-14_04_4-LTS image in the West US location, and adds a user name ops:

    azure vm create myVM \
    b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_4-LTS-amd64-server-20160516-en-us-30GB \
    -g ops -p P@ssw0rd! -z "Small" -e -l "West US"

    The output is similar to the following example:

    info:    Executing command vm create
+ Looking up image b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_4-LTS-amd64-server-20160516-en-us-30GB
+ Looking up cloud service
info:    cloud service myVM not found.
+ Creating cloud service
+ Retrieving storage accounts
+ Creating VM
info:    vm create command OK

    [!NOTE] For a Linux virtual machine, you must provide the -e option in vm create. It is not possible to enable SSH after the virtual machine has been created. For more details on SSH, read How to Use SSH with Linux on Azure.

  5. You can verify the attributes of the VM by using the azure vm show command. The following example lists information for the VM named myVM:

    azure vm show myVM

  6. Start your VM with the azure vm start command as follows:

    azure vm start myVM
