DataScienceVM/Scripts

This directory will contain scripts and ARM templates to create DSVM with different configurations.

Here is some helpful tips.

Creating DSVM from command line

Pre-requisites: You need Azure CLI 2.0 on your desktop/laptop/VM. You can download it from here. [DSVM automatically comes preinstalled with Azure CLI]

Creating a DSVM for Linux (Ubuntu) using command line:

To create a Ubuntu DSVM using Azure CLI Version 2 (ARM template - azuredeploy.json available in the CreateDSVM/Ubuntu directory and used below) use the steps below.

Step 1: Create a Parameter file (JSON) for the DSVM you are going to deploy. The file looks like this:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
     "adminUsername": { "value" : "YOURUSERNAME FOR NEW DSVM"},
     "adminPassword": { "value" : "PASSWORD FOR NEW DSVM"},
     "vmName": { "value" : "HOSTNAME OF DSVM"},
     "vmSize": { "value" : "VM SIZE For eg: Standard_DS2_v2"}
  }
}

Replace the parameters with values you will use for your new DSVM you are creating. A list of allowed vmSize is found in the Ubuntu DSVM ARM template.

Step 2: Use Azure CLI to create the VM

# Follow instructions of az login to signin to your Azure account. May need to select subscription if you have multiple
az login
az group create --name [[NAME OF RESOURCE GROUP]] --location [[ Data center. For eg: "West US 2"]
az group deployment create --resource-group  [[NAME OF RESOURCE GROUP ABOVE]]  --template-uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/DataScienceVM/master/Scripts/CreateDSVM/Ubuntu/azuredeploy.json --parameters @[[PARAMETER JSON FILE]]

Creating a DSVM for Windows using command line:

To create a Windows DSVM using Azure CLI Version 2 (ARM template - azuredeploy.json available in the CreateDSVM/Windows2012 directory and used below) use the steps below.

Step 1: Create a Parameter file (JSON) for the DSVM you are going to deploy. The file looks like this:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
     "adminUsername": { "value" : "YOURUSERNAME FOR NEW DSVM"},
     "adminPassword": { "value" : "PASSWORD FOR NEW DSVM"},
     "vmName": { "value" : "HOSTNAME OF DSVM"},
     "vmSize": { "value" : "VM SIZE For eg: Standard_DS2_v2"}
  }
}

Replace the parameters with values you will use for your new DSVM you are creating. A list of allowed vmSize is found in the Windows DSVM ARM template.

Step 2: Use Azure CLI to create the VM

# Follow instructions of az login to signin to your Azure account. May need to select subscription if you have multiple
az login
az group create --name [[NAME OF RESOURCE GROUP]] --location [[ Data center. For eg: "West US 2"]
az group deployment create --resource-group  [[NAME OF RESOURCE GROUP ABOVE]]  --template-uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/DataScienceVM/master/Scripts/CreateDSVM/Windows2012/azuredeploy.json --parameters @[[PARAMETER JSON FILE]]
