az_vm_resource: Virtual machine resource class
In AzureVM: Virtual Machines in 'Azure'

Description Format Methods See Also

Class representing a virtual machine resource. In general, the methods in this class should not be called directly, nor should objects be directly instantiated from it. Use the az_vm_template class for interacting with VMs instead.

An R6 object of class az_vm_resource, inheriting from AzureRMR::az_resource.

The following methods are available, in addition to those provided by the AzureRMR::az_resource class:

start(wait=TRUE): Start the VM. By default, wait until the startup process is complete.
stop(deallocate=TRUE, wait=FALSE): Stop the VM. By default, deallocate it as well.
restart(wait=TRUE): Restart the VM.
run_deployed_command(command, parameters, script): Run a PowerShell command on the VM.
run_script(script, parameters): Run a script on the VM. For a Linux VM, this will be a shell script; for a Windows VM, a PowerShell script. Pass the script as a character vector.
sync_vm_status(): Check the status of the VM.
resize(size, deallocate=FALSE, wait=FALSE): Resize the VM. Optionally stop and deallocate it first (may sometimes be necessary).
redeploy(): Redeploy the VM.
reimage(): Reimage the VM.
get_public_ip_address(nic=1, config=1): Get the public IP address of the VM. Returns NA if the VM is shut down, or is not publicly accessible.
get_private_ip_address(nic=1, config=1): Get the private IP address of the VM.
get_public_ip_resource(nic=1, config=1): Get the Azure resource for the VM's public IP address.
get_nic(nic=1): Get the VM's network interface resource.
get_vnet(nic=1, config=1): Get the VM's virtual network resource.
get_nsg(nic=1, config=1): Get the VM's network security group resource. Note that an NSG can be attached to either the VM's network interface or to its virtual network subnet; if there is an NSG attached to both, this method returns a list containing the two NSG resource objects.
get_disk(disk="os"): Get a managed disk resource attached to the VM. The disk argument can be "os" for the OS disk, or a number indicating the LUN of a data disk. AzureVM only supports managed disks.
add_extension(publisher, type, version, settings=list(), protected_settings=list(), key_vault_settings=list()): Add an extension to the VM.
do_vm_operation(...): Carry out an arbitrary operation on the VM resource. See the do_operation method of the AzureRMR::az_resource class for more details.
