Azure Operations

Manage Azure resources and authentication using the Azure CLI.

Operations

Operation	Description
`Azure.EnsureAuthenticated`	Authenticate to Azure using the best available method. Checks for service principal credentials (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_TENANT_ID), then falls back to existing CLI session or interactive login. Prompts to install Azure CLI if not available. `Azure.EnsureAuthenticated(); // Auto-detects auth method // CI/CD: Uses env vars if set // Local: Uses az login session or prompts for login`
`Azure.EnsureLoggedIn`	Verify the user is logged in to Azure CLI. Fails if not authenticated. `Azure.EnsureLoggedIn();`
`Azure.ShowAccount`	Display current Azure account information. `Azure.ShowAccount();`
`Azure.LoginWithServicePrincipal`	Login with a Service Principal (for CI/CD). `Azure.LoginWithServicePrincipal(clientId, secret, tenantId); Azure.LoginWithServicePrincipal(); // Uses AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_TENANT_ID env vars`
`Azure.LoginWithManagedIdentity`	Login with Managed Identity (for Azure-hosted environments). `Azure.LoginWithManagedIdentity(); // System-assigned Azure.LoginWithManagedIdentity("client-id"); // User-assigned`
`Azure.SetSubscription`	Set the active Azure subscription. `Azure.SetSubscription("subscription-id"); Azure.SetSubscription(); // Uses AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID env var`
`Azure.CreateResourceGroup`	Create a resource group if it doesn't exist. `Azure.CreateResourceGroup("my-rg", "eastus"); Azure.CreateResourceGroup("prod-rg", "westeurope");`
`Azure.DeleteResourceGroup`	Delete a resource group and all its resources. `Azure.DeleteResourceGroup("my-rg"); Azure.DeleteResourceGroup("my-rg", noWait: true);`

Authentication

Azure operations require authentication via the Azure CLI. Choose the method that fits your environment.

Environment Variables (Service Principal)

Variable	Description
`AZURE_CLIENT_ID`	Service principal application ID
`AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET`	Service principal secret
`AZURE_TENANT_ID`	Azure AD tenant ID
`AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID`	Target subscription ID

Example

Authenticate and create a resource group.

build.ando

// For CI/CD: login with service principal
Azure.LoginWithServicePrincipal();
Azure.SetSubscription();

// For local dev: ensure already logged in
Azure.EnsureLoggedIn();

// Create resource group
Azure.CreateResourceGroup("my-app-rg", "eastus");
