Maybe the "native" Azure API example works?  Any pointers to working examples of how to turn on a VM in Azure using Python?

Hi Leo, apologies for the incorrect example!

Regarding the note at the beginning of the `VirtualMachine` docs:
&gt;  The `azure.compute.VirtualMachine` resource has been superseded by the `azure.compute.LinuxVirtualMachine` and `azure.compute.WindowsVirtualMachine` resources
maybe you’ll have better luck with one of these two? I see `virtual_network_name` looks better here:

We also have a recent full example in form of a template. This is what you get when you run `pulumi new vm-azure-python` but you can also just take it directly from Github.
