Azure Workflow Steps
Azure Workflow Steps
The Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform that offers a variety of services including but not limited to storage, networking and analytics. Azure's integration with Process Automation allows you to edit and utilize your Azure services in a Process Automation job.
Authentication
Follow the steps outlined in the Azure Plugins Overview to configure authentication for Azure Job steps. Credentials can be configured on a per Job Step basis, Project basis, or for the entire Process Automation system.
Azure / Storage / Copy
This job step allows users to copy files to and from their Azure storage. For example, files can be transferred from Azure to a Rundeck server or a specific node and from a node to Azure storage.
Storage Account : This is the name of the Azure storage account that you wish to use. To find it, go to storage accounts and copy the name of the account with the files you wish to copy.
Access Key : This is the access key that will grant access to your Azure account. To find it, go to storage accounts, choose the storage account you wish to use and select access keys under settings.
Source : This is the path to the file you want to copy. It can be either an Azure URI or a local path (azure://container/path/file.ext or file://some/path/file.ext)
Destination : This is the path to where you want the file to be copied to. It can be either an Azue URI or a local path (azure://container/path/file.ext or file://some/path/file.ext)
Azure / Storage / Delete
This job step allows users to delete blobs inside of an Azure storage container.
Storage Account : This is the name of the Azure storage account that you wish to use. To find it, go to storage accounts and copy the name of the account with the files you wish to delete.
Access Key : This is the access key that will grant access to your Azure account. To find it, go to storage accounts, choose the storage account you wish to use and select access keys under settings.
Container Name : This is the name of the Azure container that the file you want to delete is in. To find it, go to storage accounts, select the account you wish to use, click containers and then copy the name of the container you wish to use.
Blob Path : This is the path to the file that you want to delete. If the file is in a subfolder include the whole path like 'path/file.ext'
Azure / Storage / List
This job step allows users to list all of the contents of a storage container. So, when a container is specified, all of the files that are in that container will be listed following execution.
Storage Account : This is the name of the Azure storage account that you wish to use. To find it, go to storage accounts and copy the name of the account with the container you wish to list.
Access Key : This is the access key that will grant access to your Azure account. To find it, go to storage accounts, choose the storage account you wish to use and select access keys under settings.
Container Name : This is the name of the Azure container that the file you want to delete is in. To find it, go to storage accounts, select the account you wish to use, click containers and then copy the name of the container you wish to use.
Azure / VM / Create
This job step allows users to create a new Virtual Machine hosted by Azure. In order to do so, you need to specify information about the configuration of the virtual machine.
Client ID : This is where you provide the Azure client ID. To find it, choose the application you wish to use and look for the Application ID. This is the same as the client ID.
Tenant ID : This is where you provide the Azure tenant ID. To find it, search for "tenant properties" in the Azure portal and go to that page. The tenant ID is in the center of the page.
Subscription ID : This is where you provide the Azure subscription ID. To find it, go to subscriptions and find the subscription you wish to use to host the VM and copy that subscription ID.
Key : This is the access key that will grant access to your Azure account. To find it, go to storage accounts, choose the storage account you wish to use and select access keys under settings.
Certificate Path : (Optional if the access key is not defined) This is the file path to the Azure certificate. If you don't have a certificate already, go to the App Services Certificates page and click "Create App Service Certificate."
Certificate Password : (Optional if the access key is not defined) This is the password for the Azure certificate.
Region : This is the Azure region you wish to use for the Virtual Machine. An example is "East US."
Name : This is the name you want the new Virtual Machine to be called.
UserName : This is the username used to login on the new Virtual Machine.
Password : This is the password used to login on the new Virtual Machine.
Resource Group : This is the resource group for the VMs you want listed. To see the different resource groups you have, seach for "resource groups" and navigate to that page.
Create resource group : If checked, this will create a new resource group that the VM is in.
VM Size : This is the size of the new Virtual Machine (from a list of preset options).
OS Type : This is the operating system you want on the new Virtual Machine (Linux or Windows).
Primary Network : This is the IP address of the primary network.
Network Type : This is the network type for the VM (public or private).
Azure / VM / List
This job step allows users to get a list of all of the Virtual Machines being hosted by Azure.
Client ID : This is where you provide the Azure client ID. To find it, choose the application you wish to use and look for the Application ID. This is the same as the client ID.
Tenant ID : This is where you provide the Azure tenant ID. To find it, search for "tenant properties" in the Azure portal and go to that page. The tenant ID is in the center of the page.
Subscription ID : This is where you provide the Azure subscription ID. To find it, go to subscriptions and find the subscription you wish to use to host the VM and copy that subscription ID.
Key : This is the access key that will grant access to your Azure account. To find it, go to storage accounts, choose the storage account you wish to use and select access keys under settings.
Certificate Path : (Optional if the access key is not defined) This is the file path to the Azure certificate. If you don't have a certificate already, go to the App Services Certificates page and click "Create App Service Certificate."
Certificate Password : (Optional if the access key is not defined) This is the password for the Azure certificate.
Region : This is the region of the VMs you want listed.
Tag Name : This is the tag for the names of VMs you want listed.

Azure / VM / Start
This job step allows users to start a Virtual Machine that is being hosted by Azure.
Client ID : This is where you provide the Azure client ID. To find it, choose the application you wish to use and look for the Application ID. This is the same as the client ID.
