I want to control the VMs in Azure with python SDK. Is there any API that can get a VM's IP address (internal or external) according to VM's name?

  • I mean getting IP address of VMs with Azure python SDK. This is because I want to remote control the VMs in Azure with it's SDK. It's a different question. – skyline_z May 17 '16 at 02:30
  • You probably need to clarify the question a bit. Is this from within the VM, or from a control machine somewhere? – Shayne May 17 '16 at 02:49

Based on my understanding, I think you want to get the public & private ip addresses of a Azure VM using Azure SDK for Python.

For getting these ip addresses (internal & external), please see the code below.

from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient, NetworkManagementClientConfiguration

subscription_id = '33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333'

credentials = ...

network_client = NetworkManagementClient(
    NetworkManagementClientConfiguration(
        credentials,
        subscription_id
    )
)

GROUP_NAME = 'XXX'
VM_NAME = 'xxx'
PUBLIC_IP_NAME = VM_NAME

public_ip_address = network_client.public_ip_addresses.get(GROUP_NAME, PUBLIC_IP_NAME)
print(public_ip_address.ip_address)
print(public_ip_address.ip_configuration.private_ip_address)

As reference, you can refer to the documents below to know the details of the code above.

  1. Resource Management Authentication using Python for the variable credentials.
  2. Create the management client for the variable network_client.
  3. More details for the azure.mgmt.network package, please see http://azure-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/azure.mgmt.network.html.

    Very convoluted (thank you Microsoft) way of getting IP addresses, but works and saved my day. Small correction, currently the network_client is created like this: network_client = NetworkManagementClient( credentials, subscription_id ) – alexvicegrab Nov 25 '16 at 22:40
  • Hold on. This only works if the public IP address object has the same name as the VM... or am I missing something? – Pedro Perez Jul 11 '19 at 11:51

For the people that don't have public IP assigned to their VM there is a way to get the private IP without creating the public IP.

from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient, NetworkManagementClientConfiguration

subscription_id = '' 
credentials = UserPassCredentials(
    'user@yes.com',
    'password',
)

network_client = NetworkManagementClient(
    credentials,
    subscription_id
)

private_ip = network_client.network_interfaces.get(GROUP_NAME, NETWORK_INTERFACE_NAME).ip_configurations[0].private_ip_address

This works and is tested on azure-sdk-for-python version 2.0.0rc6.
