Azure CLI Mixin for Porter

This is a mixin for Porter that provides the Azure (az) CLI.

Mixin Configuration

When you declare the mixin, you can also configure additional extensions to install

Use the vanilla az CLI

mixins:
- az

Install additional extensions

mixins:
- az:
    extensions:
    - EXTENSION_NAME

Mixin Syntax

See the az CLI Command Reference for the supported commands.

az:
  description: "Description of the command"
  arguments:
  - arg1
  - arg2
  flags:
    FLAGNAME: FLAGVALUE
    REPEATED_FLAG:
    - FLAGVALUE1
    - FLAGVALUE2
  suppress-output: false
  outputs:
    - name: NAME
      jsonPath: JSONPATH
    - name: NAME
      path: SOURCE_FILEPATH

NOTE: Some commands may not allow a flag to be repeated, and use a different syntax such as packing all the values into a single flag instance. Change Settings for a Web Application demonstrates how to handle inconsistent flags behavior.

Suppress Output

The suppress-output field controls whether output from the mixin should be prevented from printing to the console. By default this value is false, using Porter's default behavior of hiding known sensitive values. When suppress-output: true all output from the mixin (stderr and stdout) are hidden.

Step outputs (below) are still collected when output is suppressed. This allows you to prevent sensitive data from being exposed while still collecting it from a command and using it in your bundle.

Outputs

The mixin supports jsonpath and path outputs.

JSON Path

The jsonPath output treats stdout like a json document and applies the expression, saving the result to the output.

outputs:
- name: NAME
  jsonPath: JSONPATH

For example, if the jsonPath expression was $[*].id and the command sent the following to stdout:

[
  {
    "id": "1085517466897181794",
    "name": "my-vm"
  }
]

Then then output would have the following contents:

["1085517466897181794"]

File Paths

The path output saves the content of the specified file path to an output.

outputs:
- name: kubeconfig
  path: /root/.kube/config

Examples

Install the Azure IoT Extension

mixins:
- az:
    extensions:
    - azure-cli-iot-ext

Authenticate

az:
  description: "Azure CLI login"
  arguments:
    - login
  flags:
    service-principal:
    username: "{{ bundle.credentials.AZURE_SP_CLIENT_ID}}"
    password: "{{ bundle.credentials.AZURE_SP_PASSWORD}}"
    tenant: "{{ bundle.credentials.AZURE_TENANT}}"

Provision a VM

az:
  description: "Create VM"
  arguments:
    - vm
    - create
  flags:
    resource-group: porterci
    name: myVM
    image: UbuntuLTS

Delete a VM

az:
  description: "Delete VM"
  arguments:
    - vm
    - delete
  flags:
    resource-group: porterci
    name: myVM

Change Settings for a Web Application

The --settings flag for this command does not support being repeated. Instead you must pack all the setting values into a single flag using space-separated KEY=VALUE pairs.

install: 
  - az:
      description: 'Deploy Web API configurations'
      arguments:
        - webapp
        - config
        - appsettings
        - set
      flags:
        ids: '{{ bundle.outputs.WEBAPI_ID }}'
        settings: 'PGHOST={{ bundle.outputs.POSTGRES_HOST }} PGUSER={{ bundle.outputs.POSTGRES_USER }} PGPASSWORD={{ bundle.outputs.POSTGRES_PASSWORD }} PGDB={{ bundle.outputs.POSTGRES_DB }}'
