Rover & CDK for Terraform & Azure CLI

But ofcourse... Thanks, I'll give it a try.

You could try downloading the rover binary and run it locally.

Just to confirm, these are the steps to export the Azure environment variables to the container.

$ printenv | grep "ARM" > .env

Then, add it as environment variables to your Docker container with --env-file flag.

$ docker run --rm -it -p 9000:9000 -v $(pwd):/src --env-file ./.env im2nguyen/rover

Yesssss! That was the missing info. Thank you!!

Hi @andreasasujacgi, glad you like it so far! The reason why it's not working is because the Docker image doesn't have the az CLI. I recommend using environment variables containing your Azure credentials to resolve this issue.

This issue/PR raised similar concerns. Please let me know if that helps!

First, create your service principal.

$ az ad sp create-for-rbac --role="Contributor" 
{
  "appId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
  "displayName": "azure-cli-2017-06-05-10-41-15",
  "name": "http://azure-cli-2017-06-05-10-41-15",
  "password": "0000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
  "tenant": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

Then, configure Terraform to use the service principal by setting the following environment variables only (no CLI).

$ export ARM_CLIENT_ID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
$ export ARM_CLIENT_SECRET="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
$ export ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
$ export ARM_TENANT_ID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

The provider block will automatically use these to auth to Azure.

# Configure the Microsoft Azure Provider
provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

Going to close this, if you're still experiencing this issue, can you comment/re-open on this issue? Thank you!

Hey, any updates on this? I set the service principal but it still gave the same output.

[im2nguyen]

Hey @therodfather, did you pass the environment variables into the docker container?

The Azure provider defaults to using the az CLI when it doesn't detect the necessary environment variables to authenticate to Azure.

I set the environment variables as show in the example above. I'm wondering if I got some of the information incorrect. Are there any other step besides exporting them?
