Golang-virtual-machine-generator

This is a Golang script to create a windows virtual machine as well as a linux virtual machine.

Steps to run this script

1. Set your azure subscription ID variable so the code runs. You can do this by running export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

If running the script for a windows virtual machine(windows.go):

1. Run go run windows.go to run the script.
2. To be able to SSH into the vm, we must enable it. To deploy the ssh extension into your windows vm, run az vm extension set --resource-group demo-group --vm-name demo-vm --name WindowsOpenSSH --publisher Microsoft.Azure.OpenSSH --version 3.0
3. Next, we must ensure that the TCP port is open to allow connectivity. Run az vm extension set --resource-group demo-group --vm-name demo-vm --name WindowsOpenSSH --publisher Microsoft.Azure.OpenSSH --version 3.0
4. Run az ssh vm -g demo-group -n demo-vm --local-user demo-user to ssh into your vm

If running the script for a linux virtual machine(linux.go):

1. Change the sshPublicKeyPath variable to where your public ssh key is located(usually in the id_rsa.pub file).
2. Next, run go run linux.go to run the script.
3. You can get the IP address necessary to login by running az network public-ip list -g demo-group
4. Run ssh demo-user@IPAddress to ssh into your vm
