Perform an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) inventory with PowerShell

To generate quickly an overview of all the Virtual Machines (VMs) in an Azure subscription I made a PowerShell script that uses the Azure Az PowerShell module. This script will do an inventory of all VMs in a subscription.

The following VM information is displayed per subscription:

• Name
• PowerState
• Region
• Resource Group
• VM Size
• CPU Cores
• Memory (MB)
• License Type
• Operating System
• Offer
• SKU
• Publisher
• VM Generation
• VM Agent version
• OS Name
• OS Version
• NIC Name
• VNet
• Private IP address
• Public IP address
• OS disk name
• OS disk size (GB)
• OS storage type
• OS disk caching
• Data disks count
• Data disks names
• Admin username
• If boot diagnostics is enabled
• Boot diagnostics storage account
• Tags
• The time the VM was created

The output will be displayed in the PowerShell console, to a PowerShell GridView output, and saved to a delimited CSV file. The “azurevm-inventory.ps1” script can be found on my GitHub repo, link .
