Azure Automation VM Start and Stop in Python runbook
Hello , We are trying to do VM Start and Stop by using Python. And we did for single VM and we tested it in Azure Portal, It was successfully done both start and stop. Now we have to do for Multiple VMS, start and stop. Can anyone please help us to do for multiple VMS, start and stop in Python. Please find the attached script for the single VM. source from - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-first-runbook-textual-python2 Python Script: import os import traceback import os import sys from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient import azure.mgmt.resource import automationassets def get_automation_runas_credential(runas_connection): from OpenSSL import crypto import binascii from msrestazure import azure_active_directory import adal # Get the Azure Automation RunAs service principal certificate cert = automationassets.get_automation_certificate("AzureRunAsCertificate") pks12_cert = crypto.load_pkcs12(cert) pem_pkey = crypto.dump_privatekey(crypto.FILETYPE_PEM,pks12_cert.get_privatekey()) # Get run as connection information for the Azure Automation service principal application_id = runas_connection["ApplicationId"] thumbprint = runas_connection["CertificateThumbprint"] tenant_id = runas_connection["TenantId"] # Authenticate with service principal certificate resource ="https://management.core.windows.net/" authority_url = ("https://login.microsoftonline.com/"+tenant_id) context = adal.AuthenticationContext(authority_url) return azure_active_directory.AdalAuthentication( lambda: context.acquire_token_with_client_certificate( resource, application_id, pem_pkey, thumbprint) ) # Authenticate to Azure using the Azure Automation RunAs service principal runas_connection = automationassets.get_automation_connection("AzureRunAsConnection") azure_credential = get_automation_runas_credential(runas_connection) # Initialize the compute management client with the RunAs credential and specify the subscription to work against. compute_client = ComputeManagementClient( azure_credential, str(runas_connection["SubscriptionId"]) ) # Resource Group resource_group_name = str(sys.argv[1]) vm_name = str(sys.argv[2]) # Start the VM print('\nStart VM') async_vm_start = compute_client.virtual_machines.start(resource_group_name, vm_name) async_vm_start.wait() In the below mentioned screen shot, if we enter the multiple parameter/VM name, it is taking only the first name (parameter/VM name) Please Suggest.
