A library for gathering Azure profile information.

gem install azure-profile

require 'azure/profile'

# Assumes ~/.azure/azureProfile.json exists
prof = Azure::Profile.new

# Uses an existing publish settings file
prof = Azure::Profile.new(:settings_file => '/path/to/publishsettingsfile')

# Or the content of a settings file
prof = Azure::Profile.new(:content => IO.read('/path/to/settingsfile'))

p prof.subscriptions
p prof.default_subscription

# Using azure-profile in conjunction with the azure gem
require 'azure'
require 'azure/profile'

prof = Azure::Profile.new
dsub = prof.default.subscription

# The azure gem currently demands a file
pem_file = File.expand_path("~/.azure/azure.pem")

unless File.exists?(pem_file)
  File.open(pem_file, 'w'){ |fh| fh.write dsub.management_certificate }
end

Azure.configure do |config|
  config.management_certificate = pem_file
  config.subscription_id = dsub.subscription_id
  config.management_endpoint = dsub.management_endpoint
end

The azure-profile gem gathers and wraps your Azure subscription information. Specifically, it will parse information out of your azureProfile.json file if present. Alternatively, you can have it use a publishsettings file instead.

With that information you can pass the credentials of the subscription of your choice to whatever Azure interface you're using, such as the azure gem.

If you want to download a publishsettings file, point your browser at:

https://manage.windowsazure.com/publishsettings/index

Login if you're not already logged in, and it should start a file download. I recommend putting that file in $HOME/.azure and naming it "azure.publishsettings" for future convenience.

If you're a powershell user, you can do Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile instead.

A publishsettings file is a simple XML file, so feel free to inspect it at your convenience.

If you've installed and used the cross-platform command line interface, then you should already have this file. If not, the best way to get one is to install and login using the command line interface.

Allow the option to specify a username and password to automatically retrieve a publishsettings file if one isn't found.
