Azure的ARM模式可以通過Json的模板建立VM。本文以Cisco的CSR的image為例，介紹如何用Json的建立VM。
一、Cisco CSR的Image
首先把Cisco CSR的image複製到一個儲存賬戶中：
https://xxxx.blob.core.chinacloudapi.cn/image/CSR_3_16_4aS_CCO.vhd
建立VM的vhd檔案也需要在這個儲存賬戶中。
二、獲得Json模板
在Github上找到From user image create VM的Json模板：
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/101-vm-from-user-image
把azuredeploy.json檔案儲存到本地：
為d:\from_image.json檔案。由於Global Azure的Disk目前已經prefer使用Management Disk了，Github上的template已經改成MD的template。
下面是採用普通儲存賬戶的Json Template：
{ "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0", "parameters": { "customVmName": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "This is the name of the your VM" } }, "userImageStorageAccountName": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "This is the name of the your storage account" } }, "userImageStorageAccountResourceGroupName": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "Resource group of the existing storage account" } }, "osDiskVhdUri": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "Uri of the your user image" } }, "dnsLabelPrefix": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "DNS Label for the Public IP. Must be lowercase. It should match with the following regular expression: ^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{1,61}[a-z0-9]$ or it will raise an error." } }, "adminUserName": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "User Name for the Virtual Machine" } }, "adminPassword": { "type": "securestring", "metadata": { "description": "Password for the Virtual Machine" } }, "osType": { "type": "string", "allowedValues": [ "Windows", "Linux" ], "metadata": { "description": "This is the OS that your VM will be running" } }, "vmSize": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "This is the size of your VM" } }, "newOrExistingVnet": { "allowedValues": [ "new", "existing" ], "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "Select if this template needs a new VNet or will reference an existing VNet" } }, "newOrExistingVnetName": { "type": "string", "defaultValue": "", "metadata": { "description": "New or Existing VNet Name" } }, "newOrExistingSubnetName": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "New or Existing subnet Name" } }, "existingVnetResourceGroupName": { "type": "string", "metadata": { "description": "Resource group of the existing VNET" } } }, "variables": { "publicIPAddressName": "[concat(parameters('customVmName'),'IP')]", "vmName": "[parameters('customVmName')]", "nicName": "[concat(parameters('customVmName'),'Nic')]", "publicIPAddressType": "Dynamic", "apiVersion": "2015-06-15", "templatelink": "[concat('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/singhkay/azure-quickstart-templates/master/101-vm-from-user-image/',parameters('newOrExistingVnet'),'vnet.json')]" }, "resources": [ { "apiVersion": "2015-01-01", "name": "vnet-template", "type": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments", "properties": { "mode": "incremental", "templateLink": { "uri": "[variables('templatelink')]", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0" }, "parameters": { "virtualNetworkName": { "value": "[parameters('newOrExistingVnetName')]" }, "subnetName": { "value": "[parameters('newOrExistingSubnetName')]" }, "existingVnetResourceGroupName": { "value": "[parameters('existingVnetResourceGroupName')]" } } } }, { "apiVersion": "[variables('apiVersion')]", "type": "Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses", "name": "[variables('publicIPAddressName')]", "location": "[resourceGroup().location]", "properties": { "publicIPAllocationMethod": "[variables('publicIPAddressType')]", "dnsSettings": { "domainNameLabel": "[parameters('dnsLabelPrefix')]" } } }, { "apiVersion": "2016-03-30", "type": "Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces", "name": "[variables('nicName')]", "location": "[resourceGroup().location]", "dependsOn": [ "[concat('Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/', variables('publicIPAddressName'))]", "Microsoft.Resources/deployments/vnet-template" ], "properties": { "ipConfigurations": [ { "name": "ipconfig1", "properties": { "privateIPAllocationMethod": "Dynamic", "publicIPAddress": { "id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses',variables('publicIPAddressName'))]" }, "subnet": { "id": "[reference('vnet-template').outputs.subnet1Ref.value]" } } } ] } }, { "apiVersion": "[variables('apiVersion')]", "type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines", "name": "[variables('vmName')]", "location": "[resourceGroup().location]", "dependsOn": [ "[concat('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/', variables('nicName'))]" ], "properties": { "hardwareProfile": { "vmSize": "[parameters('vmSize')]" }, "osProfile": { "computerName": "[variables('vmName')]", "adminUsername": "[parameters('adminUsername')]", "adminPassword": "[parameters('adminPassword')]" }, "storageProfile": { "osDisk": { "name": "[concat(variables('vmName'),'-osDisk')]", "osType": "[parameters('osType')]", "caching": "ReadWrite", "createOption": "FromImage", "image": { "uri": "[parameters('osDiskVhdUri')]" }, "vhd": { "uri": "[concat(reference(resourceId(parameters('userImageStorageAccountResourceGroupName'), 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', parameters('userImageStorageAccountName')), variables('apiVersion')).primaryEndpoints.blob, 'vhds/',variables('vmName'), uniquestring(resourceGroup().id), 'osDisk.vhd')]" } } }, "networkProfile": { "networkInterfaces": [ { "id": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces',variables('nicName'))]" } ] }, "diagnosticsProfile": { "bootDiagnostics": { "enabled": "true", "storageUri": "[concat(reference(resourceId(parameters('userImageStorageAccountResourceGroupName'), 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', parameters('userImageStorageAccountName')), variables('apiVersion')).primaryEndpoints.blob)]" } } } } ] }
三、通過模板建立Cisco CSR虛擬機器
1. 登入Azure China的Portal
2. 在New中搜尋template
如上圖所示，點選Template Deployment。這裡需要注意的是，目前必須是英文版本才可以使用這個功能。
3. 匯入template
把剛剛的Json Template上傳。
4. 填寫相應的Parameters
根據實際值，填寫相應的引數。需要注意的是Resource Group和Storage Account都要和image所在的Storage Account相同。
4. Legal Terms
把Legal Terms相應的內容填寫完整：
然後點選create，建立VM。
四、登入建立的Cisco CSR router
