Azure @ Enterprise - Finding Subnet of HDICluster via PowerShell

Enterprise love putting resources into virtual network(vNet) thinking that, it brings certain high level of free security via isolation. HDInsight clusters can also be put into vNet. What to do if we have a HDICluster which is added to Subnet earlier and we don't know the Subnet name now?

Silly question. Isn't it? Just go to portal and see the cluster properties. That is what below MSDN article says.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/hdinsight/hdinsight-administer-use-portal-linux#list-and-show-clusters

Unfortunately our corporate subscription is only showing vNet name in the properties not Subnet. So how to get the Subnet name?

Finding Subnet of HDICluster

Powershell help us here. Below goes the script

---

$hdiClusterName = "POC001Joy"
$hdiCluster = (Get-AzureRmHDInsightCluster -clustername $hdiClusterName)
$resourceProperties =(Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceId (Get-AzureRmHDInsightCluster -clustername $hdiClusterName).Id).properties
$resourceProperties.computeProfile.roles[0].virtualNetworkProfile.subnet

---

It simply gets the object of HDInsight resource and navigate to the required property. The object model is little confusing but its there.

The above PowerShell script can be directly entered into Azure Portal or run after logging into Azure from PowerShell window / ISE.

An issue has been added to the MSDN documentation article related to this missing subnet name.

Enjoy Scripting...
