[Q&A Redirect] Wait for VMs running

Question

Hi,

In my C# code i create some Azure Virtual Machines. I want my program to invoke the creation of VMs (using IVirtualMachine interface), but then I want it to wait VMs until all of them are in Running state before return to main. How can I implement this?

Answer 1

After awaiting on CreateOrUpdateAsync on your VMs, you can await on StartAsync which should return once the VM is started.

Adding to Pramod's suggestions. 

We're migrating from MSDN to Microsoft Q&A as our new forums and Azure Virtual Machine has already made the move!  To ease your transition experience, we have created a forum thread on Q&A: https://docs.microsoft.com/answers/questions/8382/msdn-redirect-wait-for-vms-running.html where one of our specialized engineers in the subject or the Azure community members can provide the best possible answer to your scenario or question.

In future, you can ask and look for the discussion for Azure Virtual Machine related questions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/answers/topics/azure-virtual-machines.html

We are actively working to onboard remaining Azure services on Microsoft Q&A. We will make a public announcement once complete.
