**PSA:** Hi vagrant-azure plugin users, we are unable to continue supporting this project, so it is now archived. Even though this project is archived, the existing plugin will still work as it currently does. This should not affect any workflows currently using vagrat-azure.

We know there are many folks who are actively using this plugin but have long suffered from a lack of support in this project. We would like to encourage the community to fork this project and work together to advance and support Vagrant on Azure.

We thank everyone for their support through usage, issues and contributions.

# Vagrant Azure Provider

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/vagrant-azure.png)](https://rubygems.org/gems/vagrant-azure)

This is a [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com) 1.7.3+ plugin that adds [Microsoft Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com)
provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to control and provision machines in Microsoft Azure.

## Getting Started

[Install Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/)

### Create an Azure Active Directory (AAD) Application
AAD encourages the use of Applications / Service Principals for authenticating applications. An
application / service principal combination provides a service identity for Vagrant to manage your Azure Subscription.
[Click here to learn about AAD applications and service principals.](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-application-objects)
- [Install the Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli)
- run `az login` to log into Azure
- run `az ad sp create-for-rbac` to create an Azure Active Directory Application with access to Azure Resource Manager
for the current Azure Subscription
- If you want to run this for a different Azure Subscription, run `az account set --subscription 'your subscription name'`
- run `az account list --query "[?isDefault].id" -o tsv` to get your Azure Subscription Id.

The output of `az ad sp create-for-rbac` should look like the following:
```json
{
"appId": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
"displayName": "some-display-name",
"name": "http://azure-cli-2017-04-03-15-30-52",
"password": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"tenant": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
```
The values `tenant`, `appId` and `password` map to the configuration values
`azure.tenant_id`, `azure.client_id` and `azure.client_secret` in your Vagrant file or environment variables.

For ***nix**, edit your `Vagrantfile` as shown below and provide all the values as explained.

### Create a Vagrantfile

Create a directory and add the Linux or Windows Vagrantfile content below to a file named `Vagrantfile`.

#### Linux Vagrantfile
```ruby
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.vm.box = 'azure'

# use local ssh key to connect to remote vagrant box
config.ssh.private_key_path = '~/.ssh/id_rsa'
config.vm.provider :azure do |azure, override|

# each of the below values will default to use the env vars named as below if not specified explicitly
azure.tenant_id = ENV['AZURE_TENANT_ID']
azure.client_id = ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_ID']
azure.client_secret = ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET']
azure.subscription_id = ENV['AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID']
end

end
```

#### Windows Vagrantfile
```ruby
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.vm.box = 'azure'

config.vm.provider :azure do |azure, override|

# each of the below values will default to use the env vars named as below if not specified explicitly
azure.tenant_id = ENV['AZURE_TENANT_ID']
azure.client_id = ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_ID']
azure.client_secret = ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET']
azure.subscription_id = ENV['AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID']

azure.vm_image_urn = 'MicrosoftSQLServer:SQL2016-WS2012R2:Express:latest'
azure.instance_ready_timeout = 600
azure.vm_password = 'TopSecretPassw0rd'
azure.admin_username = "OctoAdmin"
override.winrm.transport = :ssl
override.winrm.port = 5986
override.winrm.ssl_peer_verification = false # must be false if using a self signed cert
end

end
```

### Spin Up a Box in Azure

Install the vagrant-azure plugin using the standard Vagrant 1.1+ installation methods. After installing the plugin,
you can ```vagrant up``` and use ```azure``` provider. For example:

```sh
$ vagrant box add azure https://github.com/azure/vagrant-azure/raw/v2.0/dummy.box --provider azure
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-azure
$ vagrant up --provider=azure
```

This will bring up an Azure VM as per the configuration options set above.

You can now either SSH (if its a *Nix VM) using ```vagrant ssh```, RDP (if its a Windows VM) using ```vagrant rdp```
or PowerShell ```vagrant powershell```.

Normally, a lot of the options, e.g., ```vm_image_urn```, will be embedded in a box file and you just have to provide
minimal options in the ```Vagrantfile```. Since, we're using a dummy box, there are no pre-configured defaults.

## Configuration

The vagrant-azure provide exposes Azure specific configuration options:

### Mandatory Parameters
* `tenant_id`: Your Azure Active Directory Tenant Id.
* `client_id`: Your Azure Active Directory application client id.
* `client_secret`: Your Azure Active Directory application client secret.
* `subscription_id`: The Azure subscription Id you'd like to use.
*Note: to procure these values see: [Create an Azure Active Directory Application](#create-an-azure-active-directory-aad-application)*

### Optional VM Parameters
* `vm_name`: Name of the virtual machine
* `vm_password`: (Optional for *nix) Password for the VM -- This is not recommended for *nix deployments
