Azure创建隐藏版本VM实例

这两天有童鞋抓狂的问之前在Azure Resource Manager Portal上还有Centos 7.1实例，怎么突然就下架啦。这可怎么办，别着急看了下面的介绍，一切就都妥了。

NOTE：本文下述内容均以AZURE CLI 1.0为例，同理在AZURE Power Shell中，以及通过resource template也可以实现相同效果。

在azure.cn小伙伴们可以容易查看目前azure中国区所支持的Linux版本：https://www.azure.cn/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-list/。童鞋们会发现Centos在主页上列出的支持版本有6.8，7.2，7.3，没有7.1的支持及其他6.X版本没有的节奏啊。难不成只能去自己Build镜像来搞啦？其实是有办法的，让我们来看一下。

1. 通过Azure CLI登陆Azure

azure login -u username -p password

2. 扒一扒Azure支持哪些镜像

Azure的镜像命名及分类按照如下规则，发行商（Publisher），产品名称（Offer），产品ID（SKU），产品版本信息（Version），产品唯一资源标识（Urn）。那么如何获得这些信息呢？

获取发行商列表：azure vm image list-publishers --location chinanorth

获取XX发行商产品名称列表：azure vm image list-offers --publisher Openlogic --location chinanorth

获取XX发行商XX产品名称产品ID列表：azure vm image list-skus --publisher Openlogic --offer Centos --location chinanorth

获取XX发行商XX产品名称XX产品ID Image列表：azure vm image list --publisher OpenLogic --offer Centos --sku 7.1 --location chinanorth

原理搞清楚了，那我们扒扒看

azure vm image list-publishers --location chinanorth

忽然发现原来7.1的镜像是有的，怎么把他搞起来？方法如下：

azure vm quick-create
--resource-group resourcename
--name vmname
--location chinanorth
--os-type Linux
--admin-username azureuser
--ssh-publickey-file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
--image-urn OpenLogic:Centos:7.1:7.1.20160329
