Azure Environment Variables

Adding an Azure subscription to your track also sets a list of environment variables that you can use in commands and scripts:

Environment variable	Description
INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTIONS	A comma-separated list of project names that can be used to fill ${NAME} in the variables below
INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_${NAME}_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME	The subscription display name

INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_${NAME}_USERNAME	The username that can be used to sign into the Azure portal

INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_${NAME}_SPN_PASSWORD	The password for the service principal

Example

This example shows the id of the Azure subscription from a terminal by using two environment variables. The value of the INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTIONS environment variable is inserted in the INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_${NAME}_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variable.

To follow along:

1. Start your Azure subscription track and start the first challenge.

2. Move over to the Cloud CLI terminal and enter the following command:

   eval echo "\${INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_${INSTRUQT_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTIONS}_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}"

   ↳ The terminal shows the id of your Azure subscription.
