Azure has a notion of a Service Principal which is a service acount. This doc will demonstrate how to set up an Azure service principal that can be used by Terraform to execute Jenkins X Azure Module
? If you are using a local terminal, prior to executing the following commands, in the local terminal log into Azure (az login) with an ID that has the necessary privileges (i.e. Owner).Always perform all commands in the same local terminal session to preserve dependent variables that are created.
The second step will be to assign the new service principal an owner. This step is optional but is recommended for ease in maintenance. At this pointtThe new service principal will already have a Cloud Application Administrator role assigned.
Once the service prinicpal is created and assigned the appropriate roles and permissions, it can now be used by Terraform to execute the Jenkins X Azure module. In order for Terraform to use the service principal credentials you need to specify service principal credentials in environment variables
The following Azure CLI commands will display the role assignment list, app permissions list , and a portal URL for the service principal. It will also export the necessary ARM_ variables required for Terraform credentials.
At this point you should now be ready to perform the Terraform steps to build the environment using the service principal credentials. You should keep the Terraform environment variables (ARM_) values in a safe place until the service principal resource is deleted. You can find more details on managing the service principal by viewing Create an Azure service principal with the Azure CLI.
