Description:

azureimgutils 2.3.0

Overview
azure-img-utils provides a command line utility and API for publishing
images in the Azure Cloud. This includes helper functions for uploading
image blobs, creating compute images and publish/share images across
all available regions.
See the Azure docs to get
more info on the Azure cloud.
Requirements
The requirements for the project can be found in the following repo files:

requirements
requirements for testing
requirements for development

Installation
To install the package on openSUSE and SLES use the following commands as root:
# zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:Tools:CI/<distribution>
# zypper refresh
# zypper in python3-azure-img-utils

To install from PyPI:
$ pip install azure-img-utils

Configuration
azure-img-utils can be configured with yaml based profiles. The configuration
directory is ~/.config/azure_img_utils and the default profile is default.yaml
(~/.config/azure_img_utils/default.yaml).
The following configration options are available in a configuration profile:

no_color
log_level
credentials_file
resource_group
region
container
storage_account

An example configuration profile may look like:
region: westus
no_color: True
credentials_file: mycredentials.json
container: my_container

When running any command the profile can be chosen via the --profile option.
For example, azure-img-utils image blobexists --profile production would pull
configuration from ~/.config/azure_img_utils/production.yaml.
CLI
The CLI is broken into multiple distinct subcommands that handle different
steps of creating and publishing images in the Azure cloud framework.
Authentication
This cli tool expects the user to provide a json file containing the
credentials of a service principal to access his/her Azure services.
Per Azure documentation:

An Azure service principal is an identity created for use with applications,
hosted services, and automated tools to access Azure resources.

Here
you can find how to create a service principal with the azure cli.
With your subscriptionId, the resourceGroupId and the required permissions, you can
create the service principal with the following command:
az ad sp create-for-rbac \
--sdk-auth \
--role Contributor \
--scopes /subscriptions/{YOUR_SUSCRI_ID}/resourceGroups/{YOUR_RES_GROUP_ID} \
--name "YOUR_SP_NAME" > mycredentials.json

The expected format for the json file is the output for that create-for-rbac az
command. Note that the API this repo provides allows additional methods of
authentication, but these are not supported in this CLI tool.

exists subcommand
This subcommand allows the user to check if a blob exists in the storage
container specified. The subcommand is azure-img-utils blob exists.

API
The AzureImage class can be instantiated and used as an API from code.
This provides all the same functions as the CLI with a few additional
helpers. For example there are waiter functions which will wait for
a compute image to be created and/or deleted.
To create an instance of AzureImage you need a storage_account,
credentials dictionary object or credentials file or sas token
container and resource group. Optionally you can pass
in a Python log object and/or a log_level and/or a timeout value.
Note that you can provide authentication credentials in 3 different ways:

with a sas_token
with a dictionary of credentials containing the required key values
with the credentials file name
Providing just one of these options is enough to perform the authentication
in the Azure API.

azure_image = AzureImage(
container="my_container_name",
storage_account="my_storage_account",
credentials=my_credentials_dict,
credentials_file="my_credentials_file.json",
resource_group="my_resource_group",
sas_token="my_sas_token",
log_level=my_log_level,
log_callback=logger
timeout=myTimeout
)

Code examples
With an instance of AzureImage you can perform any of the image functions
which are available through the CLI.
azure_image = AzureImage(
container="my_container",
storage_account="my_storage_account",
credentials_file="my_credentials.json",
resource_gropu="my_resource_group",
sas_token="my_sas_token"
)
