Azure Activation Service

Auto Activate Azure Roles!

The tool works as a companion to the MSRA Intern's Tool. Many thanks for jianfeng's great project.

The tool aims to produce a linux user-space service that runs periodically to activate Azure roles so that you don't need to keep your VSCode open.

Installation

pip install azure-activation-service

Usage

# In a bash shell that has the Azure CLI env set up
aas list-roles  # refresh role list
aas import-config  # import auto-renew config from MSRA Intern's Tool
aas auto-activate  # auto activate roles
aas generate-service  # generate user service
systemctl --user enable azure-pim-activator  # enable user service
loginctl enable-linger $USER  # to keep user service active

The tool reads and stores everything in $AZURE_CONFIG_DIR, so if you are working with multiple users you can do the above operations with different $AZURE_CONFIG_DIR and set a different service name when running ass generate-service [another-name].
