kitchen-azurerm is a driver for the popular test harness Test Kitchen that allows Microsoft Azure resources to be provisioned before testing. This driver uses the new Microsoft Azure Resource Management REST API via the azure-sdk-for-ruby.
This version has been tested on Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu. If you encounter a problem on your platform, please raise an issue.
This plugin ships in Chef Workstation out of the box so there is no need to install it when using Chef Workstation.
If you're not using Chef Workstation and need to install the plugin as a gem run:
gem install kitchen-azurerm
For the driver to interact with the Microsoft Azure Resource Management REST API, you need to configure a Service Principal with Contributor rights for a specific subscription. Using an Organizational (AAD) account and related password is no longer supported. To create a Service Principal and apply the correct permissions, see the create an Azure service principal with the Azure CLI and the Azure CLI documentation. Make sure you stay within the section titled 'Password-based authentication'.
If the above is TLDR then try this after az login
using your target subscription ID and the desired SP name:
# Create a Service Principal using the desired subscription id from the command above
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name="kitchen-azurerm" --role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
#Output
#
#{
# "appId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", <- Also known as the Client ID
# "displayName": "azure-cli-2018-12-12-14-15-39",
# "name": "http://azure-cli-2018-12-12-14-15-39",
# "password": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
# "tenant": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
#}
NOTE: Don't forget to save the values from the output -- most importantly the password
.
You will also need to ensure you have an active Azure subscription (you can get started for free or use your MSDN Subscription).
You are now ready to configure kitchen-azurerm to use the credentials from the service principal you created above. You will use four elements from the output:
- Subscription ID: available from the Azure portal
- Client ID: the appId value from the output.
- Client Secret/Password: the password from the output.
- Tenant ID: the tenant from the output.
Using a text editor, open or create the file ~/.azure/credentials
and add the following section, noting there is one section per Subscription ID. Make sure you save the file with UTF-8 encoding
[ADD-YOUR-AZURE-SUBSCRIPTION-ID-HERE-IN-SQUARE-BRACKET]
client_id = "your-azure-client-id-here"
client_secret = "your-client-secret-here"
tenant_id = "your-azure-tenant-id-here"
If preferred, you may also set the following environment variables, however this would be incompatible with supporting multiple Azure subscriptions.
AZURE_CLIENT_ID="your-azure-client-id-here"
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret-here"
AZURE_TENANT_ID="your-azure-tenant-id-here"
Note that the environment variables, if set, take preference over the values in a configuration file.
After adjusting your ~/.azure/credentials
file you will need to adjust your kitchen.yml
file to leverage the azurerm driver. Use the following examples to achieve this, then check your configuration with standard kitchen commands. For example,
% kitchen list
Instance Driver Provisioner Verifier Transport Last Action Last Error
wsus-windows-2019 Azurerm ChefZero Inspec Winrm <Not Created> <None>
wsus-windows-2016 Azurerm ChefZero Inspec Winrm <Not Created> <None>
See the kitchen.ci kitchen-azurem docs for a complete list of configuration options.
Here's an example kitchen.yml
file that provisions an Ubuntu Server, using Chef Zero as the provisioner and SSH as the transport. Note that if the key does not exist at the specified location, it will be created. Also note that if ssh_key
is supplied, Test Kitchen will use this in preference to any default/configured passwords that are supplied.

Concurrent execution of create/converge/destroy is supported via the --concurrency parameter. Each machine is created in its own Azure Resource Group so it has no shared lifecycle with the other machines in the test run. To take advantage of parallel execution use the following command:
kitchen test --concurrency <n>
Where n is the number of threads to create. Note that any failure (e.g. an AzureOperationError) will cause the whole test to fail, though resources already in creation will continue to be created.
Here's a further example kitchen.yml
file that will provision a Windows Server 2019 [smalldisk] instance, using WinRM as the transport. An ephemeral os disk is used. The resource created in Azure will enable itself for remote access at deployment time (it does this by customizing the machine at provisioning time) and tags the Azure Resource Group with metadata using the resource_group_tags
property. Notice that the vm_tags
and resource_group_tags
properties use a simple key : value
structure per line:

The following example introduces the pre_deployment_template

You can use this capability to execute an ARM template containing Azure resources to provision before the system under test is created.
In the example the ARM template in the file predeploy.json
would be executed with the parameters that are specified under pre_deployment_parameters
.
These resources will be created in the same Azure Resource Group as the VM under test, and therefore will be destroyed when you type kitchen destroy
.

kitchen.yml example 7 - deploy VM to existing virtual network/subnet (use for ExpressRoute/VPN scenarios) with Private Classic OS Image
This example a classic Custom VM Image (aka a VHD file) is used. As the Image VHD must be in the same storage account then the disk of the instance, the os disk is created in an existing image account.
Note: When the resource group Ăs deleted, the os disk is left in the existing storage account blob. You must clean up manually.
This example will:
- use the customized image https://yourstorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/system/Microsoft.Compute/Images/images/Cent7_P4-osDisk.170dd1b7-7dc3-4496-b248-f47c49f63965.vhd (can be built with packer)
