Install

There are many ways to get started with the Azure Resource Verifier.

go install

You can install the Azure Resource Verifier using the go install command.

go install github.com/nickdala/azure-resource-verifier@latest

This will install the Azure Resource Verifier in your $GOPATH/bin directory.

Build from Source

You can build the Azure Resource Verifier from source. Clone the repository and build the binary.

git clone https://github.com/nickdala/azure-resource-verifier.git

cd azure-resource-verifier

go build

The binary azure-resource-verifier will be created in the current directory.

There is a DevContainer that can be used to build the project in a container. This is useful if you don't have Go installed on your machine. You can open the project in Visual Studio Code and select the "Reopen in Container" option. Or you can use CodeSpaces to build the project in the cloud.

Log in to Azure

You must first be authenticated to Azure and have the appropriate subscription selected. Install the Azure CLI and run the following command to authenticate:

az login

If you have multiple tenants, you can use the following command to log into the tenant:

az login --tenant <tenant-id>

Quickstart

The quickstart command guides you through the verification of Azure Cache for Redis, Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server, and Azure App Service in the specified locations.

./azure-resource-verifier quickstart -s <subscription-id> -l <location>

For example:

./azure-resource-verifier quickstart -s 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -l eastus2 -l westus3

Or you can specify the --all-locations flag to verify all locations.

./azure-resource-verifier quickstart -s <subscription-id> --all-locations

Usage

Help

./azure-resource-verifier --help

Get a list of regions

./azure-resource-verifier list-locations -s <subscription-id>

Verify Azure Cache for Redis

./azure-resource-verifier redis -s <subscription-id> -l <location> -l <location>

Or

./azure-resource-verifier redis -s <subscription-id> --all-locations

For example:

./azure-resource-verifier redis -s 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -l eastus2 -l westus3

Verify Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server

./azure-resource-verifier postgresql -s <subscription-id> -l <location> -l <location>

Or

./azure-resource-verifier postgresql -s <subscription-id> --all-locations

For example:

./azure-resource-verifier postgresql -s 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -l eastus2 -l westus3

Verify Azure App Service

./azure-resource-verifier web-app -s <subscription-id> -o linux -p container -l <location> -l <location>
