#create VM

    $gatewaysubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name PSGatewaySubnet -AddressPrefix "10.172.100.0/27"
    $virtualNetwork = New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name PSAzureBCVnet -ResourceGroupName PSAzureBootCampRG -Location westus -AddressPrefix "10.172.100.0/24" -Subnet $gatewaysubnet

    Add-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name PSDMZSubnet -VirtualNetwork $virtualNetwork -AddressPrefix "10.172.100.96/27"
    $virtualNetwork | Set-AzVirtualNetwork

#Second-Level

$location = "westus" 
$vmName = "VMName" 
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter a username and password for the virtual machine."

Hi @emreozanmemis ,

Thanks for the reply.

It seems my requirement is bit different.

1) I already have one resource group,Linux VM created.

2) I would like to create deployment group assigned to existing Linux VM using Powershell/CLI etc.

Could you guide me on how to achieve the same?

Hi @emreozanmemis ,

Thanks for sharing the link.

I have gone through the Microsoft link but it seems that links is more about how to install devops agent.

I am looking for an option create deployment group using powershell

[#7 · Accepted solution]

it looks like you want to create a deployment group using PowerShell

$baseUri = "https://dev.azure.com/{organisation}/{projectname}"
$accessToken = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes(":$($PersonalAccessToken)"))
$headers = @{
"Authorization" = "Basic $($accessToken)"
"Content-Type" = "application/json"
}

$uri = "$($baseUri)/_apis/distributedtask/deploymentgroups?api-version=5.1-preview.1"
$webResult = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Method Get -Headers $headers -UseBasicParsing
