azure vm location default using command line? -

i'm trying use azure command line start vm:

azure vm start myvmnamehere 

but it's telling me:

no deployments found 

i'm guessing need specify location "west us"?

azure vm start going start virtual machine you've created, within specific region. that, you'd first need call azure vm create. first create vm image in gallery (and within dns name, xxxxx.cloudapp.net). see images available you, try running azure vm image list.

also: don't forget add --ssh or --rdp can have remote access, when calling azure vm create.
