print("Starting script")

SUBSCRIPTION_ID = "mysubscriptionid"

credential = ClientSecretCredential(

    tenant_id='mytenantid,

    client_id='myapplicationid,

    client_secret='myapplicationsecret'

)

compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(

    credential=credential,

    subscription_id=SUBSCRIPTION_ID,

    

)

print("Getting vms")

# List all Virtual Machines in the specified subscription

def list_virtual_machines():

    for vm in compute_client.virtual_machines.list_all():

        print(vm.name)

list_virtual_machines()

        On Windows, Python does not look at the system certificate, it uses its own located at                 ?\lib\site-packages\certifi\cacert.pem.

1. download the certificate chain from portal.azure.com as *.crt or *pem file
2. open the file in editor and copy it's content to clipboard. contents will be like below. Copy all of it.
   

      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

     bunch of gibbereshin between.

      -----END CERTIFICATE-----

1. Find your cacert.pem location: from requests.utils import DEFAULT_CA_BUNDLE_PATH; print(DEFAULT_CA_BUNDLE_PATH)
2. edit the cacert.pem file and paste your domain validation certificate at the end of the file.
3. Save the file.
