{vm-name} — Bicep

Deploys a single Linux VM with VNet, subnet, NSG (SSH allow), public IP, and NIC.

Prerequisites

  • Azure CLI (az login)
  • An existing resource group
  • SSH public key at ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Quickstart

az deployment group what-if \
  --resource-group {resourceGroup} \
  --template-file main.bicep \
  --parameters vmName={vmName} adminUsername={adminUsername} adminPublicKey="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"

az deployment group create \
  --resource-group {resourceGroup} \
  --template-file main.bicep \
  --parameters vmName={vmName} adminUsername={adminUsername} adminPublicKey="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"

Parameters

Name Required Default Notes
vmName * — VM resource name
adminUsername * — Linux admin user
adminPublicKey * — Contents of id_rsa.pub (secure)
location resourceGroup location Azure region
vmSize Standard_D2s_v5 Verify availability with compute_vm_list-skus
osDiskSizeGb 30
osDiskType Premium_LRS
zone '' 1/2/3, or empty for regional
tags {}

Outputs

  • vmId — full ARM resource ID
  • publicIpAddress — connect with ssh {adminUsername}@{publicIpAddress}

VMSS variant

Swap Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines for Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets@2024-07-01, add sku: { name: vmSize, capacity: instanceCount }, properties.orchestrationMode: 'Flexible', and move osProfile/storageProfile/networkProfile inside properties.virtualMachineProfile.

Cleanup

az group delete --name {resourceGroup} --yes --no-wait

    This skill provides a comprehensive and secure workflow for provisioning Azure Virtual Machines and Scale Sets. It follows security best practices by recommending SSH keys over passwords, restricting network access to the user's public IP, and ensuring secrets are handled as parameters rather than hardcoded values.
