Microsoft Azure CLI 2.0 - Preview

image

image

A great cloud needs great tools; we're excited to introduce Azure CLI 2.0 - Preview, our next generation multi-platform command line experience for Azure.

Installation

A list of common install issues and their resolutions are available at install troubleshooting.

How would you like to install?

Interactive install script

On Windows, install via pip.

On Linux or Mac, see our prerequisites then install as follows:

$ curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash

or:

$ wget -q -O - https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash

Install additional components with $ az component update --add <component_name>

Pip

On Linux, see our prerequisites.

$ pip install --user azure-cli

Install additional components with $ az component update --add <component_name>

Enable tab completion with source az.completion.sh (not available on Windows CMD).

You may need to modify your PATH:

Linux

$ export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

OS X

export PATH=$PATH:~/Library/Python/X.Y/bin

Windows

Add %APPDATA%\PythonXY\Scripts to your PATH.

Where X, Y is your Python version.

Apt-get

For Debian/Ubuntu based systems.

First, modify your sources list:

32 bit system

$ echo "deb https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/azure-cli/ wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list

64 bit system

$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/azure-cli/ wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list

Run the following:

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver apt-mo.trafficmanager.net --recv-keys 417A0893
$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install azure-cli

Docker (versioned)

We maintain a Docker image preconfigured with the Azure CLI.

$ docker run -v ${HOME}:/root -it azuresdk/azure-cli-python:<version>

See our Docker tags for available versions.

Docker (automated)

Run the latest automated Docker build with the command below.

$ docker run -v ${HOME}:/root -it azuresdk/azure-cli-python:latest

All command modules are included in this version as the image is built directly from the Git repository.

Nightly Builds

Install nightly builds with pip in a virtual environment.

$ pip install --pre azure-cli --extra-index-url https://azureclinightly.blob.core.windows.net/packages
  • Builds happen at 21:00:00 PDT each night. They are published shortly afterwards.
  • Whilst all command modules are built each night, not all are included on install.
  • Install additional components with:
$ export AZURE_COMPONENT_PACKAGE_INDEX_URL=https://azureclinightly.blob.core.windows.net/packages
$ az component update --add <component_name> --private
  • To view the list of installed packages, run az component list

Developer Setup

If you would like to setup a development environment and contribute to the CLI, see Configuring Your Machine.

Usage

$ az [ group ] [ subgroup ] [ command ] {parameters}

Getting Started

After installation, use the az configure command to help set up your environment and get you logged in.

$ az configure

For usage and help content, pass in the -h parameter, for example:

$ az storage -h
$ az vm create -h

Highlights

Here are a few features and concepts that can help you get the most out of the Azure CLI 2.0 Preview

Azure CLI 2.0 Highlight Reel

The following examples are showing using the --output table format, you can change your default using the $ az configure command.

Tab Completion

We support tab-completion for groups, commands, and some parameters

# looking up resource group and name
$ az vm show -g [tab][tab]
AccountingGroup   RGOne  WebPropertiesRG
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n [tab][tab]
StoreVM  Bizlogic
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n Bizlogic

Querying

You can use the --query parameter and the JMESPath query syntax to customize your output.

$ az vm list --query '[].{name:name,os:storageProfile.osDisk.osType}'
Name                    Os
----------------------  -------
storevm                 Linux
bizlogic                Linux
demo32111vm             Windows
dcos-master-39DB807E-0  Linux

Creating a new Linux VM

The following block creates a new resource group in the 'westus' region, then creates a new Ubuntu VM. We automatically provide a series of smart defaults, such as setting up SSH with your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key. For more details, try az vm create -h.

$ az group create -l westus -n MyGroup
Name     Location
-------  ----------
MyGroup  westus

$ az vm create -g MyGroup -n MyVM --image ubuntults
MacAddress         ResourceGroup    PublicIpAddress    PrivateIpAddress
-----------------  ---------------  -----------------  ------------------
00-0D-3A-30-B2-D7  MyGroup          52.160.111.118     10.0.0.4

$ ssh 52.160.111.118
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.19.0-65-generic x86_64)
