Azure Ops CLI - azo

A graphical Azure CLI inspired by Spectre.Console.
Instead of repeatedly asking questions with Azure CLI or creating scripts, you can retrieve resources and perform bulk actions directly in the CLI with a graphical experience, see Screenshots.

For example, updating one or more Virtual Machine Scale Sets with a new image, starting, stopping, or restarting one or more Virtual Machines or Container Instances by selecting them in a list.

This is a hobby project and is maintained to the best of my ability, I am not a software developer.
The ambition with this project is to code for fun, but also to create something useful. 💻
More functionality and improvements will be added over time.

At this point, this tool may not be the best option if you have a large number of subscriptions or resources, as the lists can become very long.
There are plans to add better filtering options, but we'll see if and when that happens.

There are probably tons of typos, ambiguities or other oddities, you are welcome to provide feedback so I can address them, thank you! ⭐

Installation

• Make sure .Net 8 is installed.

• Download the executable from here.

• Put the executable in a folder that is in the PATH environment variable.

Usage

The application uses DefaultAzureCredential, so use az login to authenticate.

Type azo, azo -h|--help or azo info to get help with available commands.

There is an idea behind the command structure; whether it’s logical is for others to judge 😁
Think of it like this:
<resource type> <verb> <scope>

The scope is always either all or subscription, where all will get ALL resource types from ALL subscriptions.
subscription will show an list of all subscriptions to select one specific.

For example: vmss changeimage all

In the example above, you get to choose from a list of ALL virtual machine scale sets you have access to, in order to change the image for them.
Also note that at this point, one can only select ONE image for the selected virtual machines.

Examples

List all virtual machine scale sets in all subscriptions

azo vmss list all

This command will fetch all subscriptions available and then list all accessible virtual machine scale sets.

List all virtual machine scale sets in a specific subscription

azo vmss list subscription

This command will fetch all subscriptions and present in a list, then list all accessible virtual machine scale sets from the selected subscription.

Screenshots

Upgrade a Virtual Machine Scale Set Instance to the latest model in a specific subscriptions

List all Virtual Machines in all subscriptions and stop selected ones.

Known Issues

• The console output of the getlogs command for Container Instances is messy and need some work.
• Status messages can be messy when the resource names are of different lenght, might be some fix in Spectre Console, need some investigation.
