Azure Resource Manager Deployment Name

Question

I want to start an Azure VM attached to a resource group programmatically.

However, the ComputeManagementClient.VirtualMachines.Restart requires a "deploymentName" Parameter, I cannot find in the new portal. Does anybody have a clue where the deploymentName can be found?

Answer 1

As I know, we have two types of libraries to management our Azure VM, I have install these two libraries in my console application like following screenshoot:

where the deploymentName can be found?

In the second library (Microsoft. WindowsAzure .Management.Compute), we can control Azure VM(classic). And the deployment name is the cloud service deployment name. We can find it in Azure portal. Cloud service (classic) -> the specific Cloud service (the same name with your Azure VM) -> settings -> deployment name

If you create a VM under a resource group, please use the first Library (Microsoft. Azure .Management.Computer). In this library, we only need to provide the resource group name and Azure VM name, see detailed here:
