Installation

The Azure plugin is included as part of the standard hamlet installation. For details on installing hamlet see the install guide on our docs site.

Alternative installs

The engine install method is our recommended approach however you can also install the plugin through some additional methods

CMDB plugin

If you would like to include it we recommended adding it as a plugin in your CMDB. In your solution.json file add the following to install the latest release of the plugin

{
    "Segment" : {
        "Plugins" : {
            "azure" : {
                "Enabled" : true,
                "Name" : "azure",
                "Priority" : 10,
                "Required" : true,
                "Source" : "git",
                "Source:git" : {
                    "Url" : "https://github.com/hamlet-io/engine-plugin-azure",
                    "Ref" : "master",
                    "Path" : "azure/"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Then run the setup command to install the plugin from the segment you have the plugin installed under

hamlet setup

To update re-rerun the hamlet setup command to get the latest changes

Local clone

Run the following commands in your hamlet workspace to install a local copy

azure_clone_dir=< a path where you want to clone the plugin>
git clone "https://github.com/hamlet-io/engine-plugin-azure"
export GENERATION_PLUGIN_DIRS="${GENERATION_PLUGIN_DIRS};${azure_clone_dir}"

Then to include the plugin as part of your hamlet commands

hamlet -p azure -f arm < your command>

Or if you want to use it for all hamlet commands

export GENERATION_PROVIDERS="azure"
export GENERATION_FRAMEWORK="arm"

To update cd into the repo where you cloned the plugin and run git pull ( hamlet plugins don't need to be compiled)

Usage

This is a plugin for the hamlet engine and won't work by itself. Usage of this provider requires the other parts of hamlet deploy

See https://docs.hamlet.io for more information

Contributing

When contributing to hamlet we recommend installing this plugin using the Local Clone method above using a fork of the repository

Testing

The plugin includes a test suite which generates a collection of deployments and checks that their content aligns with what is expected

To run the test suite locally install the hamlet cli and use the provider testing included

# install cli
pip install hamlet

# run the tests
hamlet -p azure -p azuretest -f arm deploy run-deployments

This will run all of the tests and provide you the results. We also run this on all Pull requests made to the repository
