Create VM on Azure with custom image using python

问题

Launching a VM using a marketplace image in Azure is pretty straight forward.

here is the relevant piece of code.

def create_vm(network_client, compute_client):

vm_parameters = {
    'storage_profile': {
        'image_reference': {
            'publisher': 'MicrosoftWindowsServer',
            'offer': 'WindowsServer',
            'sku': '2012-R2-Datacenter',
            'version': 'latest'
        }
    },

vm = compute_client.virtual_machines.create_or_update(
    GROUP_NAME, 
    VM_NAME, 
    vm_parameters
)

(Clearly there is more in the actual code, this is the part that I think is most relevant)

So in this case the image reference points to the marketplace.

I used the following doc to create a custom image.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/create-vm-generalized-managed?toc=%2fazure%2fvirtual-machines%2fwindows%2ftoc.json

I would like to create a VM based on the new custom image that I created. It is my perception that image_reference should point to something else but it isn't clear to me what it should be. Can anybody help here?

Thanks!

In fact, Azure Python SDK uses Azure Rest API. You could check this example.

So, you could modify your script like below:

vm_parameters = {
    'storage_profile': {
        'image_reference': {
            'id' : '/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/images/{existing-custom-image-name}'
        }
    },
