Quickstart

Introduction

This guide explains how to set up the Azure emulator and interact with it using the az CLI. In this guide, you will run some basic Azure CLI commands to manage resource groups in an local Azure development environment without connecting to the real cloud services.

Prerequisites

• lstk
• Azure CLI (az)
• LocalStack for Azure
• A LocalStack Auth Token

Instructions

Before you begin, make sure that the Emulator is running, see the installation instructions.

Set up the az CLI integration

lstk az proxies your host az CLI against the Azure emulator, using an isolated configuration directory so your global ~/.azure setup is left untouched. Run the following command once to prepare it:

$ lstk setup azure

Create a resource group

To create a resource group, prefix the same az command you would normally run with lstk az:

$ lstk az group create --name myResourceGroup --location westeurope

The following output would be displayed:

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/some-generated-id/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "managedBy": null,
  "name": "myResourceGroup",
  "properties": {
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
  },
  "tags": null,
  "type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups"
}

Check & list resource groups

To check the resource group details, run the following command:

$ lstk az group show --name myResourceGroup

To list all the resource groups, run the following command:

$ lstk az group list

Delete the resource group

To delete the resource group, run the following command:

$ lstk az group delete --name myResourceGroup --yes
