Azure Plugin

The Azure plugin enables you to use Cloudify to manage cloud resources on Azure. See below for currently supported resource types.

Plugin Requirements

• Tested with Cloudify Premium 3.3.1, 3.4, 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 and Community Version 17.3.31 and 17.11.22.
• Python Versions 2.7.x.
• Azure account.

Compatibility

The Azure plugin has two methods for interacting with Azure services: legacy and SDK based.

The legacy library is tested against these Azure API Versions:

RESOURCES = ‘2017-05-10' STORAGE = ‘2015-06-15' NETWORK = ‘2016-03-30' COMPUTE = ‘2016-03-30’

The SDK-based method is dependent on the SDK library versions. (See the setup.py for current versions.) Currently only ARM resource template node templates use this method.

Authentication

Each Azure resource node template must include a property azure_config for authentication. This consists of a tenant_id, client_id, client_secret or client_assertion, and subscription_id. These can be provided via secrets for better security coverage.

Plugin 1.8.0 introduced support for certificate-based authentication. Provide subscription_id, tenant_id, client_id and client_assertion. For more information see overview of client_assertion authentication and how to create an AD client certificate.

Authentication with Azure services requires a Service Principal. See this documentation from Microsoft on creating a Service Principal.

• client_id is the Service Principal appId.
• client_secret is the Service Principal password.
• tenant_id is the Service Principal tenant.

Providing Credentials as Secrets

It is recommended that you store your credentials as secrets. You can do this using the CLI. Secrets can then be accessed inside your blueprints, as follows:

 resource_group:
    type: cloudify.azure.nodes.ResourceGroup
    properties:
      name: my_resource_group
      location: { get_secret: location }
      azure_config:
        subscription_id: { get_secret: subscription_id }
        tenant_id: { get_secret: tenant_id }
        client_id: { get_secret: client_id }
        client_secret: { get_secret: client_secret }
 

Azure Stack

Cloudify Azure Plugin version 1.6.0 introduced support for Azure Stack.

To configure your client, add the appropriate values for your endpoint keys, such as endpoint_resource, endpoints_resource_manager, endpoint_verify, and endpoints_active_directory.

Make sure to specify the appropriate api_version of the Azure resource that is currently supported in your Azure stack.

Example:

 resource_group:
    type: cloudify.azure.nodes.ResourceGroup
    properties:
      api_version: 2017-05-10
      name: my_resource_group
      location: { get_secret: location }
      azure_config:
        subscription_id: { get_secret: subscription_id }
        tenant_id: { get_secret: tenant_id }
        client_id: { get_secret: client_id }
        client_secret: { get_secret: client_secret }
        endpoint_resource: https://management.core.windows.net/
        endpoints_resource_manager: https://management.azure.com
        endpoint_verify: True
        endpoints_active_directory: https://login.microsoftonline.com
 

Types

The following are node type definitions. Nodes describe resources in your cloud infrastructure. For more information, see node types.

Common Properties

All cloud resource nodes have common properties:

• name
• location
• tags
• retry_after Because Azure’s API is asynchronous, the value indicates the interval between retries.

Properties

Each time that you manage a resource with Cloudify, one or more clients are created by Cloudify through the Azure API. You specify the configuration for these clients using the azure_config property. It should be a dictionary, with the following values:

Your Azure API access credentials

• subscription_id
• tenant_id
• client_id
• client_secret

See the cloudify.datatypes.azure.Config data type definition in the plugin’s plugin.yaml.

Relationships

See relationships.

The following plugin relationship operations are defined in the Azure plugin:

• cloudify.azure.relationships.contained_in_resource_group Sets a dependency between the resource and the resource group in which it is contained.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.contained_in_virtual_network Sets a dependency between the resource and the virtual network in which it is contained.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.contained_in_network_security_group Sets a dependency between the resource and the network security group in which it is contained.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.contained_in_route_table Sets a dependency between the resource and the route table in which it is contained.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.contained_in_load_balancer Sets a dependency between the resource and the load balancer.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.network_security_group_attached_to_subnet Attaches a network security group to a subnet.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.route_table_attached_to_subnet Attaches a network route table to a subnet.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.nic_connected_to_network_security_group Attaches a NIC to a network security group.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.ip_configuration_connected_to_subnet Sets a dependency between an IP configuration and a subnet.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.ip_configuration_connected_to_public_ip Sets a dependency between an IP configuration and a public IP.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.connected_to_storage_account Sets a dependency between the resource and a storage account.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.connected_to_availability_set Sets a dependency between the resource and an availability set.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.connected_to_ip_configuration Sets a dependency between the resource and an IP configuration, except for NICs. (see cloudify.azure.relationships.nic_connected_to_ip_configuration)
• cloudify.azure.relationships.nic_connected_to_ip_configuration Sets a dependency between a cloudify.azure.nodes.network.NetworkInterfaceCard resource type to a cloudify.azure.nodes.network.IPConfiguration resource type.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.connected_to_nic Sets a dependency between the resource and a NIC.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.connected_to_lb_be_pool Sets a dependency between the resource and a load balancer pool.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.connected_to_lb_probe Sets a dependency between the resource and a load balancer probe.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.vmx_contained_in_vm Sets a dependency between a VM extension and a VM.
• cloudify.azure.relationships.nic_connected_to_lb_be_pool Sets a dependency between a NIC and a load balancer pool.

Using Existing Resources

You can use existing resources on Azure, regardless of whether they have been created by a different Cloudify deployment or outside of Cloudify.

All Cloudify Azure types have a property named use_external_resource, for which the default value is false. When set to true, the plugin applies different semantics for each of the operations executed on the relevant node’s instances:

If use_external_resource is set to true in the blueprint, the name must be that resource’s name in Azure.

This behavior is common to all resource types:

• create If use_external_resource is true, the plugin checks if the resource is available in your account.
• delete If use_external_resource is true, the plugin checks if the resource is available in your account.
