Description of Feature or Work Requested

I am trying to create a virtual machine on azure via python and having it execute a script on launching time (init script). For this purpose, I am using the custom_data as follows:

the custom_data is created this way:

For the variables inside the init_script: WORKER_SCRIPT_PATH : is the string path to my shell script (an sh file) and the other variables are simple strings.

Now after I execute the script, everything seems to work fine and the VM is created but when I check on azure, I don't find he script!

AM i missing something?

@Marwen-TAALLAH Since this is a Python SDK related issue, so I transfer this issue into the azure-sdk-for-python repo

Hi @Marwen-TAALLAH

After my investigation, it will not be displayed on the portal after the script is created. You need to query the running status of the script through the following code.

result = list(compute_client.virtual_machine_run_commands.list_by_virtual_machine(
        resource_group_name=GROUP_NAME,
        vm_name=VIRTUAL_MACHINE_NAME
    ))
    for item in result:
        print(item)

Hope it can help you
