VM Creation via Orchestration

[yogesh_rajendra]

Hi all,

Azure Virtual Machine or any VM creation is possible via Orchestration? Do we have any Activity for that?

Note: It is possible through Cloud Management but i am looking via Orchestration.

Thanks,

Hi Yogesh,

It is possible to provision a Virtual machine using Orchestration, but there is no out of the box orchestration activity available for VM Creation.  In this case you need to create your own Orchestration activity for Virutal Machine provision.

Here is the Orchestration activites available as Out of the box.

Hi Rajesh,

Can you provide me any documents or any reference link for the VM creation using custom Orchestration activity?

Hi Yogesh,

I have provided below documentation for creating custom activities using PowerShell/REST.  I recommend you to go through respective vendor specific API (for example Powershell or REST) to Orchestrate Provision/Management activities of Virtual Machine.

Yogesh, can you please provide some information on your preference to do this using custom orchestration flows?

Did you face issue(s) using the plugin for cloud management?
