Microsoft Azure CLI 2.0 - Preview

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/azure-cli.svg?maxAge=2592000 https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/azure-cli.svg?maxAge=2592000 https://travis-ci.org/Azure/azure-cli.svg?branch=master

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

Upgrading

If you already have the CLI installed, run the following to update:

$ az component update

If you don't have the CLI installed, see below.

Install with pip

For those familiar with pip, use the following:

$ pip install --user azure-cli

You may need to modify your PATH to include the directory az is installed to:

On UNIX:

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

Permanently include this change by modifying your rc file:

$ echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

On OS X:

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

Where X.Y is your Python version.

Permanently include this change by modifying your rc file:

$ echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/Library/Python/X.Y/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile

On Windows:

Add %APPDATA%\Python\PythonXY\Scripts to your PATH. Where XY is your Python version.

Enable tab completion with source az.completion.sh.

Some prerequisites may be required. See our Preview Install Guide.

If you run into an AttributeError: 'X509' object has no attribute '_x509' error, downgrade your version of the requests library from 2.12.1 to 2.11.1. Use pip install requests==2.11.1.

NOTE: If in a virtual environment, you can simply use pip install azure-cli and the CLI will be installed into that virtual environment.

Install with apt-get

A Debian/Ubuntu package is also available. Install as follows:

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

Install with Docker

We also maintain a Docker image preconfigured with the Azure CLI.

Tagged Docker images are available. See our Docker tags for available versions.

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

Run the latest automated Docker build with the command below. All command modules are included in this version as the image is built directly from the Git repository.

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

For installation steps for common platforms, as well as dependency troubleshooting, please take a look at our installation guide.

Install with interactive install script

For OSX and Linux, you can install using curl:

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

or using wget:

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

Some prerequisites may be required. See our Preview Install Guide.

If you run into an AttributeError: 'X509' object has no attribute '_x509' error, downgrade your version of the requests library from 2.12.1 to 2.11.1. With the default install location, use /usr/local/az/bin/pip install requests==2.11.1.

Usage

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

Getting Started

After installation, use the az configure command to help setup 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 resource 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)
