Execute script inside azure VM programmatically

Question

How can I use the Python SDK and execute a script stored in Blob inside a VM?

Is it possible to do it at the time of creation?

I've looked at this, and I'm not able to make it work. This is my existing template. Where am I going wrong?

@VarunVembar I find this example could create VM custom script extension, I modify it. You could check it, it works for me. — Shui shengbao

You should create VM firstly, then using Azure Custom Script Extension to execute scripts inside VM.

compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(credentials, subscription_id)
###Your python code to create VM
.......
compute_client.virtual_machines.create_or_update( 'DEV-Central', computer_name, param_dict )

##Using Azure Custom Script to execute script inside VM
GROUP_NAME = 'shuicli'
vmname = 'shui'
ext_type_name = 'CustomScriptForLinux'
ext_name = 'shuitest'
params_create = {
    'location': 'eastus',
    'publisher': 'Microsoft.OSTCExtensions',
    'virtual_machine_extension_type': ext_type_name,
    'type_handler_version': '1.5',
    'auto_upgrade_minor_version': True,
    'settings': {
        'fileUris': ["https://shuilinuxdiag336.blob.core.windows.net/customscriptfiles/test.sh"],
        'commandToExecute': "sh test.sh"
    }, 
    'protected_settings' : {
        'storageAccountName': 'shuilinuxdiag336',
        'storageAccountKey': '<your storage account key>'
    },
}
ext_poller = compute_client.virtual_machine_extensions.create_or_update(
    GROUP_NAME,
    vmname,
    ext_name,
    params_create,
)
ext = ext_poller.result()

Thank you for all your time, but I'm still not able to make it work! I'm getting an error with the 'ext_type_name' parameter. I'm trying to do all this inside a Python runbook.

Hi, I use your file test in my lab, it work for me. This is the code. You could see the test result

Hi, if you get same error log, you could post your code here, I will test in my lab and give you the result.

This is the code pastebin.com/AWpyYmYN. It's pretty much a copy paste of what you've shared. It's erroring out at the ext = ext_poller.result()' line

You lose some parameter in params_create, the parameters are all required.
