A great cloud needs great tools; we're excited to introduce Azure CLI 2.0, our next generation multi-platform command line experience for Azure.
Take a test run now from Azure Cloud Shell!
Please refer to the install guide for detailed install instructions.
A list of common install issues and their resolutions are available at install troubleshooting.
$ az [ group ] [ subgroup ] [ command ] {parameters}
Please refer to the "get started" guide for in-depth instructions.
For usage and help content, pass in the -h
parameter, for example:
$ az storage -h
$ az vm create -h
Here are a few features and concepts that can help you get the most out of the Azure CLI 2.0
The following examples are showing using the --output table
format, you can change your default using the az configure
command.
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
You can use the --query
parameter and the JMESPath query syntax to customize your output.
$ az vm list --query "[?provisioningState=='Succeeded'].{ name: name, os: storageProfile.osDisk.osType }"
Name Os
---------------------- -------
storevm Linux
bizlogic Linux
demo32111vm Windows
dcos-master-39DB807E-0 Linux
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

For more usage examples, take a look at our GitHub samples repo or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/overview.
If you encounter any bugs with the tool please file an issue in the Issues section of our GitHub repo.
To provide feedback from the command line, try the az feedback
command.
This install does not support the component feature.
We maintain a Docker image preconfigured with the Azure CLI. 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.
You can also get a specific version of Azure CLI 2.0 via Docker.
$ docker run -v ${HOME}:/root -it azuresdk/azure-cli-python:<version>
See our Docker tags for available versions.
If you want to get the latest build from the master branch, you can use our "edge" builds feed. Here's an example of installing edge dev builds with pip in a virtual environment.
$ virtualenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ pip install --pre azure-cli --extra-index-url https://azurecliprod.blob.core.windows.net/edge
To upgrade your current edge build pass the --upgrade
option. The --no-cache-dir
option is also recommended since
the feed is frequently updated.
$ pip install --upgrade --pre azure-cli --extra-index-url https://azurecliprod.blob.core.windows.net/edge --no-cache-dir
The edge build is generated for each push to the master
branch as a part of the Travis CI build. The version of the edge build follows
