#Azure Management Libraries for Java

This README is based on the latest released preview version (1.0.0-beta2). If you are looking for other releases, see More Information

The Azure Management Libraries for Java is a higher-level, object-oriented API for managing Azure resources.

1.0.0-beta2 is a developer preview that supports major parts of Azure Compute, Storage, Networking and Resource Manager. The next preview version of the Azure Management Libraries for Java is a work in-progress. We will be adding support for more Azure services and tweaking the API over the next few months.

Azure Authentication

The Azure class is the simplest entry point for creating and interacting with Azure resources.

Azure azure = Azure.authenticate(credFile).withDefaultSubscription();

Create a Virtual Machine

You can create a virtual machine instance by using the define() … create() method chain.

System.out.println("Creating a Linux VM");

VirtualMachine linuxVM = azure.virtualMachines().define("myLinuxVM")
	.withRegion(Region.US_EAST)
	.withNewResourceGroup("myResourceGroup")
	.withNewPrimaryNetwork("10.0.0.0/28")
	.withPrimaryPrivateIpAddressDynamic()
	.withNewPrimaryPublicIpAddress("mylinuxvmdns")
	.withPopularLinuxImage(KnownLinuxVirtualMachineImage.UBUNTU_SERVER_16_04_LTS)
	.withRootUserName("tirekicker")
	.withSsh(sshKey)
	.withSize(VirtualMachineSizeTypes.STANDARD_D3_V2)
	.create();
	
System.out.println("Created a Linux VM: " + linuxVM.id());

Update a Virtual Machine

You can update a virtual machine instance by using the update() … apply() method chain.

linuxVM.update()
    .defineNewDataDisk(dataDiskName)
    .withSizeInGB(20)
    .withCaching(CachingTypes.READ_WRITE)
    .attach()
    .apply();

Create a Network Security Group

You can create a network security group instance by using the define() … create() method chain.

NetworkSecurityGroup frontEndNSG = azure.networkSecurityGroups().define(frontEndNSGName)
    .withRegion(Region.US_EAST)
    .withNewResourceGroup(rgName)
    .defineRule("ALLOW-SSH")
        .allowInbound()
        .fromAnyAddress()
        .fromAnyPort()
        .toAnyAddress()
        .toPort(22)
        .withProtocol(NetworkSecurityRule.Protocol.TCP)
        .withPriority(100)
        .withDescription("Allow SSH")
        .attach()
    .defineRule("ALLOW-HTTP")
        .allowInbound()
        .fromAnyAddress()
        .fromAnyPort()
        .toAnyAddress()
        .toPort(80)
        .withProtocol(NetworkSecurityRule.Protocol.TCP)
        .withPriority(101)
        .withDescription("Allow HTTP")
        .attach()
    .create();

#Sample Code

You can find plenty of sample code that illustrates management scenarios in Azure Compute, Storage, Network and Resource Manager …

• Manage virtual machine
• Manage availability set
• List virtual machine images
• Manage storage accounts
• Manage virtual network
• Manage network interface
• Manage network security group
• Manage IP address
• Manage resource groups
• Manage resources
• Deploy resources with ARM templates
• Deploy resources with ARM templates (with progress). Link will become available as soon as the sample is ready
