Azure resources configuration differences

AzDiff v0.1

What is AzDiff?

• Have you been trying to manually compare two Azure resources, jumping between Azure portal tabs dozens of times?
• Have you encountred a confusing situation when a solution is working fine in environment A but failing in environment B ?

Well, say no more, I have been there, so I created this tool that will help you compare the configuration between two Azure resources (Function apps, app services, Virtual Machines..) and will return the properties of each resources and will highlight the differences.

Usage example

Install the package

pip install azdiff

Login using az login or sign in using a service principal.

export SUBSCRIPTION_ID={SUBSCRIPTION_ID}
azdiff appservice  --resource_name1={resource_name1} --rg_name1={rg_name1} --resource_name2={resource_name2} --rg_name2={rg_name2}

Result:
notice the differences are marked in red with [?]

Available commands (--help):

Build

Local Development

• install python3 (tested with Python 3.8.10)
• install REQUIREMENTS.txt using make init

I recommend to use Python3 virtual environments.

# install wheel
pip install wheel
# build python wheel package
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel --version {0.b123}
# install the wheel created from the previous step
pip install {package_path}.whl
# test run
azdiff
