Support classic VMs

[BertTijhuis]

Thanks for the nice AzureSMR package,

Was trying to use it with an Shiny application together with the Windows taskscheduler to start and stop
Azure VM.

Although due to the fact that we're using next to

• Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines

also

• Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualMachines and
• Microsoft.ClassicCompute/domainNames

which we want also to restart on a scheduled way.

Is it possible to add as extra argumnent with these functions the type containing
one of the next types:

• Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines <- default
• Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualMachines
• Microsoft.ClassicCompute/domainNames

and so the next code should be
instead of:

    URL <- paste("https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/", 
        SUBIDI, "/resourceGroups/", RGI, "/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualmachines/", 
        vmNameI, "/deallocate?api-version=2015-05-01-preview", 

   URL <- paste("https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/", 
        SUBIDI, "/resourceGroups/", RGI, "/providers/',type,"/", 
        vmNameI, "/deallocate?api-version=2015-05-01-preview", 

Or provide me feedback when this isn't a good idea

Hi BertTijhuis , I wasn't sure how much demand there would be for Classic mode. Adding a Type argument would be straightforward, however I believe that if we support classic, we may also need to consider storage and network as well as Virtual Machines. Is there a specific reason you are unable to move the VMs to ARM?

Hi Alan, There is no specific reason we can't move the VM under ARM. Just the time is the factor to move this, and currently we' re not forced to do this. And this could be one of the reason to move the VM's Anyway thanks,

Closing, since we don't intend to add support for classic VMs, unless there is a strong demand and business case.
