I'm trying to create 100 VM using azure-cli from custom image without public IP address. The VM will connect between them with load balancer.
The VM are creating using this command:
az vm create --resource-group myresourcegroup --availability-set my_as --name VMTestAS --image MyImage --public-ip-address none --admin-username azureuser --size Standard_F4S --no-wait --ssh-key-value my_key
For --public-ip-address "" there should be space between quotes otherwise it will fail as it expects a parameter.
We can use CLI 2.0 to create Azure VM without public IP address, like this:
az vm create -n MyVm -g MyResourceGroup --public-ip-address ""
--public-ip-address
Name of the public IP address when creating one (default) or referencing an existing one. Can also reference an existing public IP by ID or specify "" for None.
More information about Azure CLI 2.0 to create Azure VM, please refer to this link.
Here is the result:
C:\Users\user>az vm create -n MyVm -g vm --public-ip-address "" --image myimage
{
"fqdns": "",
"id": "/subscriptions/5384xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0361e29axxxx/resourceGroups/vm/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/MyVm",
"location": "southcentralus",
"macAddress": "00-0D-3A-73-F9-95",
"powerState": "VM running",
"privateIpAddress": "10.0.0.6",
"publicIpAddress": "",
"resourceGroup": "vm"
}
