AzureForHumans

A human-friendly wrapper for Azure SDK that simplifies common Azure operations like deploying Azure Functions, managing resource groups, and working with storage accounts.

Installation

dotnet add package AzureForHumans

Features

  • Simple Azure Function Deployment: Deploy Azure Functions with minimal configuration
  • Container App Deployment: Build a project's Dockerfile and run it as an Azure Container App
  • Resource Group Management: Create and manage Azure resource groups easily
  • Storage Account Integration: Simplified storage account creation and management
  • App Service Plan Management: Easy creation of app service plans for your functions
  • Built-in Authentication: Uses Azure DefaultCredential for seamless authentication

Quick Start

Basic Usage

using AzureIntegration;

// Initialize Azure client
var azureCloud = new AzureCloud();

// Create a resource group
var resourceGroup = await azureCloud.CreateResourceGroup("my-resource-group");

// Deploy an Azure Function
var azureFunction = await azureCloud.DeployAzureFunction(
    "/path/to/your/function/project", 
    "my-function-app"
);

Console.WriteLine($"Function deployed at: https://{azureFunction.Url}");

Working with Resource Groups

var azureCloud = new AzureCloud();

// Get all resource groups
var resourceGroups = await azureCloud.GetResourceGroups();
foreach (var rg in resourceGroups)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Resource Group: {rg.Name}");
}

// Create a new resource group
var newRg = await azureCloud.CreateResourceGroup("my-new-rg");

// Delete a resource group
await azureCloud.DeleteResourceGroup("my-old-rg");

Storage Account Management

var azureCloud = new AzureCloud();
var resourceGroup = await azureCloud.CreateResourceGroup("my-rg");

// Create a storage account
var storageAccount = await resourceGroup.CreateStorageAccount("myapp");
Console.WriteLine($"Storage Account: {storageAccount.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Connection String: {storageAccount.ConnectionString}");

Deploying a Container App

var azureCloud = new AzureCloud();

// Builds the Dockerfile in "MyApp", pushes the image and runs it as a container app
await using var containerApp = await azureCloud.DeployContainerApp(
    projectDirectory: "MyApp",
    name: "my-container-app",
    imageTag: commitSha); // optional

Console.WriteLine($"Container App deployed at: {containerApp.Url}");

Each deployment is pushed under a tag of its own and the app is pointed at that tag, so redeploying under the same name always replaces what is running. Pass imageTag (a commit, a build number) to be able to tell which build an app is running; without it each deployment gets a timestamped tag. :latest is pushed alongside, but nothing is deployed from it.

The call returns once the new revision is running, not merely once the app's URL answers, which the previous revision keeps doing while the new one starts.

Disposing the returned AzureContainerApp deletes its resource group.

Prerequisites

  • .NET 8.0 or later
  • Azure subscription
  • Azure credentials configured (Azure CLI, Visual Studio, environment variables, etc.)

Authentication

This library uses Azure's DefaultAzureCredential which automatically tries various authentication methods:

  1. Environment variables
  2. Managed Identity
  3. Visual Studio authentication
  4. Azure CLI authentication
  5. Interactive browser authentication

Make sure you're authenticated using one of these methods before using the library.

Configuration

The library uses the following default settings:

  • Location: West Europe (you can modify this in the source code)
  • Runtime: .NET 8.0 isolated
  • App Service Plan: Dynamic (Consumption) plan

Example Projects

Check out the sample Azure Function project included in this repository to see how to structure your functions for deployment.
