README

This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get your application up and running.

What is this repository for?

• This repo is to help Caylent quickly get connect to the Azure Resource Management API
• 1.0

How do I get set up?

API

The Azure Resource Management API's Deployment operations and Deployments are all wrapped in the AzureARMRESTAPI.php file. This is a flat implementation right over the REST API rather some object oriented wrapper. If you look at the code you'll see that each API function has a mirror function in the wrapper. For example, Get Deployment API maps to get_deployment. There is also a Get in the Deployment Operations so we call that one get_deployment_operation.

To use the API and get the auth piece done you need to following:

• Create their directory
• Define an app in that directory
• Define an access key for the app
• Go to the subscription and give the app access

How do you do this? Read Use portal to create Active Directory application and service principal that can access resources

To use this API you need a couple pieces of information:

• Users Tenant
• Users Subscription
• Users Key

These components can be seen during the AD App creation step. That said, sample can be found in the .env file

How do I see how this is used? Take a look at ARMTest.php, which is a "test app" we used to test the API
