This document describes how to get started with Fog using Microsoft Azure as a cloud resource management services provider.

• Fog-azure-rm supports Ruby version 2.0.0 or later

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fog-azure-rm'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fog-azure-rm

You can use this gem against the Microsoft Azure Resource Manager Services in the cloud. Of course, to use the Microsoft Azure Resource Manager Services in the cloud, you need to first create a Microsoft Azure account.

• Set 'LOCATION' constant based on the Azure cloud you are using in [config.rb] (https://github.com/fog/fog-azure-rm/blob/master/lib/fog/azurerm/config.rb) file. By default it will be 'eastus'.

The next step to use this gem, is authentication and permissioning. It is important to get familiar with this concept. For a reference on setting up a service principal from the command line see Authenticating a service principal with Azure Resource Manager or Unattended Authentication. For a more robust explanation of authentication in Azure, see Developer’s guide to auth with Azure Resource Manager API.

After creating the service principal, you should have three pieces of information, a client id (GUID), client secret (string) and tenant id (GUID).
