What is POP?

This project is built with pop, a Python-based implementation of Plugin Oriented Programming (POP). POP seeks to bring together concepts and wisdom from the history of computing in new ways to solve modern computing problems.

• pop-create

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+

• git (if installing from source, or contributing to the project)

Installation

If wanting to use idem-azure-auto, you can do so by either installing from PyPI or from source.

pip install pop-release

# clone repo
git clone git@<your-project-path>/idem-azure-auto.git
cd idem-azure-auto

# Setup venv
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Credentials Setup

After installation, the Azure Idem execution and state modules will be accessible to the pop hub. In order to use them, we need to set up our credentials.

Create a new file called credentials.yaml and populate it with credentials. The default profile will be picked up automatically by idem.

There are multiple authentication backends for idem-azure-auto which each have their own unique set of parameters. The following examples show the parameters that can be used to define credential profiles.

credentials.yaml:

azure:
   default:
      client_id: "12345678-1234-1234-1234-aaabc1234aaa"
      secret: "76543210-4321-4321-4321-bbbb3333aaaa"
      subscription_id: "ZzxxxXXXX11xx-aaaaabbbb-k3xxxxxx"
      tenant: "bbbbbca-3333-4444-aaaa-cddddddd6666"

Next step is to encrypt the credentials file, and add the encryption key and encrypted file path to the ENVIRONMENT.

Encrypt the credential file:

Idem encrypt credentials.yaml

This will generate a credentials.yaml.fernet file and a command line output token:

-AXFSEFSSEjsfdG_lb333kVhCVSCDyOFH4eABCDEFNwI=

Add these to your environment:

export ACCT_KEY="-AXFSEFSSEjsfdG_lb333kVhCVSCDyOFH4eABCDEFNwI="
export ACCT_FILE=$PWD/credentials.yaml.fernet

You are ready to use idem-azure-auto!!!

STATES

Idem states are used to make sure resources are in a desired state. The desired state of a resource can be specified in sls file. In Idem-azure-auto, three states are supported: present, absent, describe

my-azure-resource-group:
  azure.resource_management.resource_groups.present:
  - resource_group_name: my-azure-resource-group
  - location: eastus

idem state $PWD/my_resource_group_state.sls

my-virtual-network:
  azure.network.virtual_networks.present:
  - resource_group_name: my-azure-resource-group
  - virtual_network_name: my-virtual-network
  - location: eastus
  - address_space:
        - 10.0.0.0/16
