Describe the bug

az network profile list outputs the empty result

This outputs empty results without errors.

Command Name
az network profile list

Errors:

To Reproduce:

Following the document describing how to deploy a container inside a virtual network,

1. Deploy a container into a new virtual network

az container create \
  --name appcontainer \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --image mcr.microsoft.com/azuredocs/aci-helloworld \
  --vnet aci-vnet \
  --vnet-address-prefix 10.0.0.0/16 \
  --subnet aci-subnet \
  --subnet-address-prefix 10.0.0.0/24

2. Try to get networkProfileId for the automated deployment process

az network profile list --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --query [0].id --output tsv

(There is a subnetIds field in the output of the first step, is this the same?)

Expected Behavior

output a network profile id

@kairu-ms, could you help take a look?

[dtheodor]

Can you take a look at this? This makes it impossible at the moment to deploy a private IP address in a virtual network through a yaml file with this error

Code: PrivateIPAddressNotSupported
Message: IP Address type in container group 'my_group' is invalid. Private IP address is only supported when network profile is defined.

Hi @joseph-porter, can you have a look at this? Thanks.

Looks like the CLI version here is 2.30.0, which no longer uses or creates a Network Profile. The newer API version for ACI has removed Network Profile and now uses the subnet ID property directly for deploying with virtual networks.

The CLI create command in the initial question should still deploy a container in a virtual network, it just no longer creates a Network Profile and instead fills the request to ACI with the proper subnet information used by the more recent API version.

Previous versions of the API still support Network Profile, so those can still be used if you wish to continue using the Network Profile. The last CLI version that automatically creates the Network Profile would be 2.28.0 and could be used if you still want to create Network Profiles via the CLI.

[dtheodor]

CLI was the only practical way to create a network profile. Now you have to call the rest API directly, which for bonus points is hidden from the azure API documentation.

The network profile is needed for the YAML based container group deployment https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-vnet which requires a network profile id. Does the yaml configuration support specifying subnets directly in some undocumented form?

If I am not missing something you hindered this use case when you removed network profile functionality from the most recent CLI versions. Was there any benefit from its removal to the CLI user?

Also the CLI documentation is no longer correct https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/profile?view=azure-cli-latest#az_network_profile_list

To create a network profile, see the create command for the relevant resource. Currently, only Azure Container Instances are supported.

The updated documentation was recently published with details of the changes and example usage: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-vnet

This solves my problem, thanks

[dtheodor]

When replacing network profile with subnet ids in the YAML configuration, I get

Code: PrivateIPAddressNotSupported
Message: IP Address type in container group 'smg_logs' is invalid. Private IP address is only supported when network profile is defined.
