azuredeveloperdevcenter 1.0.0
Azure DevCenter Service client library for Python
The Azure DevCenter package provides access to manage resources for Microsoft Dev Box and Azure Deployment Environments. This SDK enables managing developer machines and environments in Azure.
Use the package for Azure DevCenter to:
Create, access, manage, and delete Dev Box resources
Create, deploy, manage, and delete Environment resources
Getting started
Installing the package
python -m pip install azure-developer-devcenter
Prerequisites
Python 3.7 or later is required to use this package.
You need an Azure subscription to use this package.
For Dev Box operations you must have configured a DevCenter, Project, Network Connection, Dev Box Definition, and Pool.
For Deployment Environments operations you must have configured a DevCenter, Project, Catalog, Environment Definition and Environment Type.
Create Client with an Azure Active Directory Credential
In order to interact with the Dev Center service, you will need to create an instance of a client. An endpoint and credential are necessary to instantiate the client object.
For the endpoint use the Dev Center URI. It should have the format https://{tenantId}-{devCenterName}.{devCenterRegion}.devcenter.azure.com.
For the credential use an Azure Active Directory (AAD) token credential, providing an instance of the desired credential type obtained from the azure-identity library.
To authenticate with AAD, you must first install azure-identity using pip
pip install azure-identity
After setup, you can choose which type of credential from azure.identity to use.
As an example, DefaultAzureCredential can be used to authenticate the client:
Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables:
AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
Use the returned token credential to authenticate the client.
import os
from azure.developer.devcenter import DevCenterClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
# Set the values of the dev center endpoint, client ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables:
# DEVCENTER_ENDPOINT, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
try:
endpoint = os.environ["DEVCENTER_ENDPOINT"]
except KeyError:
raise ValueError("Missing environment variable 'DEVCENTER_ENDPOINT' - please set it before running the example")
# Build a client through AAD
client = DevCenterClient(endpoint, credential=DefaultAzureCredential())
With DevCenterClient you can execute operations in Dev Center, Dev Box and Environments REST operations group.
Examples

Deploy and Delete an Environment

Key concepts
Dev Boxes refer to managed developer machines running in Azure. Dev Boxes are provisioned in Pools, which define the network and image used for a Dev Box.
Environments refer to templated developer environments, which combine a template (Catalog Item) and parameters.
Troubleshooting
Errors can occur during initial requests and long-running operations, and will provide information about how to resolve the error.
Be sure to confirm that dependent resources, such as pools and catalogs, are set up properly and are in a healthy state. You will not be able to create resources with the package when your dependent resources are in a failed state.
