  • Create a virtual machine
  • Stop the VM
  • Start the VM
  • Restart the VM
  • Delete the resources

Run this sample

1. If you don't already have it, install Ruby and the Ruby DevKit.

2. If you don't have bundler, install it.

   gem install bundler
   

3. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/Hybrid-Compute-Ruby-Manage-VM.git
   

4. Install the dependencies using bundle.

   cd Hybrid-Compute-Ruby-Manage-VM
   bundle install
   

5. Create a service principal to work against AzureStack. Make sure your service principal has contributor/owner role on your subscription.

6. Set the following environment variables using the information from the service principle that you created.

   export AZURE_TENANT_ID={your tenant id}
   export AZURE_CLIENT_ID={your client id}
   export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET={your client secret}
   export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID={your subscription id}
   export ARM_ENDPOINT={your AzureStack Resource manager url}
   export AZURE_RESOURCE_LOCATION={your azure resource location}
   

   [AZURE.NOTE] On Windows, use set instead of export.

7. To authenticate the Service Principal against Azure Stack environment, the endpoints should be defined using get_active_directory_settings(). This method uses the ARM_Endpoint environment variable that was set using the previous step.

   # Get Authentication endpoints using Arm Metadata Endpoints
   def get_active_directory_settings(armEndpoint)
       settings = MsRestAzure::ActiveDirectoryServiceSettings.new
       response = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI("#{armEndpoint}/metadata/endpoints?api-version=1.0"))
       status_code = response.code
       response_content = response.body
       unless status_code == "200"
           error_model = JSON.load(response_content)
           fail MsRestAzure::AzureOperationError.new("Getting Azure Stack Metadata Endpoints", response, error_model)
       end
   
       result = JSON.load(response_content)
       settings.authentication_endpoint = result['authentication']['loginEndpoint'] unless result['authentication']['loginEndpoint'].nil?
       settings.token_audience = result['authentication']['audiences'][0] unless result['authentication']['audiences'][0].nil?
       settings
   end

8. Note that in order to run this sample, Ubuntu 16.04.0-LTS image must be present in AzureStack market place. This can be either downloaded from Azure or added to Platform Image Repository.

9. Run the sample.

   bundle exec ruby example.rb
   

What is example.rb doing?

This sample starts by setting up ResourceManagementClient, the resource provider clients, a resource group, and a storage account using your subscription and credentials.

  subscription_id = ENV['AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID'] || # your Azure Subscription Id

  # This parameter is only required for AzureStack or other soverign clouds. Pulic Azure already has these settings by default.
    active_directory_settings = get_active_directory_settings(ENV['ARM_ENDPOINT'])


  provider = MsRestAzure::ApplicationTokenProvider.new(
      ENV['AZURE_TENANT_ID'],
      ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_ID'],
      ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET'],
      active_directory_settings
      )
  credentials = MsRest::TokenCredentials.new(provider)

  options = {
      credentials: credentials,
      subscription_id: subscription_id,
      active_directory_settings: active_directory_settings,
      base_url: ENV['ARM_ENDPOINT']
  }
