如何从远程计算机在Azure VM上运行脚本

Question

I'm looking for a way to run a script, on a single instance of a cloud service (which has several instances) from a remote machine.

I've tried DSC but that doesn't seem to support running the script only on one machine, as it would run it on all machines of the cloud service.

Note I'm using classic Azure cloud services.

Update: I specifically have an issue with Get-AzureVM which is part of the script example. How do I get the instance VM which is part of my cloud service. For instance I tried:

Get-AzureVM -ServiceName myCloudServiceName -Name instanceVMName 

And that didn't return anything (I made sure to Add-AzureAccount first).

I'm assuming it returns nothing because Get-AzureVM cannot be used for cloud services, and only for VMs. I'm able to get the instance by running $dep = Get-AzureDeployment -ServiceName myCloudServiceName -Slot Production $dep.RoleInstanceList[0] Which returns role instance type which is different from the expected VM type.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Powershell Remoting in Azure Cloud Services

As you are using a single instance the above should do the trick, you will need to create the user as part of a startup script, otherwise it will disappear each time it recreates the VM. It will not work if you every scale out to more than one instance of a cloud service.

You could use Custom Script extension for Windows virtual machines . It supports run on a single VM.

With the Custom Script extension for Windows, you can run PowerShell scripts on a remote VM without signing in to it. You can run the scripts after provisioning the VM, or at any time during the lifecycle of the VM without opening any additional ports. The most common use cases for running Custom Script extension include running, installing, and configuring additional software on the VM after it's provisioned.
