title: How to start a virtual machine on Azure with node.js?
body: <p>I am using the Azure node.js SDK. <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/" rel="nofollow">https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/</a></p>
  
  <p>Strangely I cannot find documentation for starting a virtual machine on Azure using the node.js SDK.</p>
  
  <p>I need a clear example of how to launch an Azure virtual machine using the node.js SDK.</p>
  
  <p>Also I need reference documentation that specifies all the optional parameters for launching a Virtual Machine using the node.js SDK.</p>
