Azure v6.28.0 published on Friday, Oct 3, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-azure

    Use this data source to access information about an existing Virtual Machine.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

const example = azure.compute.getVirtualMachine({
    name: "production",
    resourceGroupName: "networking",
});
export const virtualMachineId = example.then(example => example.id);

    import pulumi
import pulumi_azure as azure

example = azure.compute.get_virtual_machine(name="production",
    resource_group_name="networking")
pulumi.export("virtualMachineId", example.id)

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v6/go/azure/compute"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		example, err := compute.LookupVirtualMachine(ctx, &compute.LookupVirtualMachineArgs{
			Name:              "production",
			ResourceGroupName: "networking",
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		ctx.Export("virtualMachineId", example.Id)
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Azure = Pulumi.Azure;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var example = Azure.Compute.GetVirtualMachine.Invoke(new()
    {
        Name = "production",
        ResourceGroupName = "networking",
    });

    return new Dictionary<string, object?>
    {
        ["virtualMachineId"] = example.Apply(getVirtualMachineResult => getVirtualMachineResult.Id),
    };

    API Providers

    This data source uses the following Azure API Providers:

    • Microsoft.Compute - 2024-03-01

    Using getVirtualMachine

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getVirtualMachine(args: GetVirtualMachineArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetVirtualMachineResult>
function getVirtualMachineOutput(args: GetVirtualMachineOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetVirtualMachineResult>
    def get_virtual_machine(name: Optional[str] = None,
                        resource_group_name: Optional[str] = None,
                        opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetVirtualMachineResult
def get_virtual_machine_output(name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                        resource_group_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                        opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetVirtualMachineResult]
    func LookupVirtualMachine(ctx *Context, args *LookupVirtualMachineArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupVirtualMachineResult, error)
func LookupVirtualMachineOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupVirtualMachineOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupVirtualMachineResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupVirtualMachine in the Go SDK.
