Here is a basic Azure CLI script that should help you with your requirements. Please replace , , , and with your actual values. #!/bin/bash # 1. Verifying the Azure Subscription az account set --subscription # 2. Validating the VM's Tag Values vm_tags=$(az vm show --resource-group --name --query tags) echo "VM's Tags: $vm_tags" # Check if a specific tag exists if [[ $vm_tags == *" "* ]]; then echo "Tag exists." else echo "Tag does not exist." fi # 3. Checking VM Status (Running / Deallocated) vm_status=$(az vm get-instance-view --name --resource-group --query instanceView.statuses[1] --output tsv) echo "VM Status: $vm_status" # 4. If deallocated, start the VM if [[ $vm_status == *"deallocated"* ]]; then echo "Starting VM..." az vm start --resource-group --name else echo "VM is already running." fi This script assumes that you’re already logged in to Azure CLI. If not, you’ll need to log in using az login before running this script. Also, please note that this is a basic script, and you might need to modify it according to your specific needs or handle errors and edge cases as necessary. Always test scripts in a safe environment before using them in production. Remember to replace , , , and with your actual values. is your Azure Subscription ID, is the name of the resource group where your VM is located, is the name of your VM, and is the name of the tag you want to validate.

Hello, az account show --output table tagValue=$(az vm show --resource-group --name --query tags --output tsv) [ -z "$tagValue" ] && echo "VM tags are missing or empty." || echo "VM tags are set as: $tagValue" vmStatus=$(az vm show --resource-group --name --query powerState --output tsv) if [ "$vmStatus" == "VM deallocated" ]; then az vm start --resource-group --name elif [ "$vmStatus" == "VM running" ]; then echo "VM is running." else echo "Unable to determine VM status." fi echo "Script execution completed."
