Create Azure Management Site

Question

Can we create a sites that can:

• showing available VMs;
• deallocate VMs;
• show pings.

I prefer using Node, but other language is accepted.

Currently, I'm monitoring using azure-cli. But, I'm asked to create a more user friendly UI.

Answer 1

Most of the operations that you can perform on the azure portal can be done using azure management api and powershell azure commandlets.

Azure management API are REST based and hence can be consumed from any platform that supports http. Sample to start and stop VM - http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/How-to-start-deallocated-c23b7cbe

Likewise you can write your own program to do the required management activities.
