Azure Tools

As a DevOps master, those tasks will help you in your day-to-day life. Find various Azure resources regarding the given type and tags, parse connection strings, and more to come.

Find Resource Configuration

1. Select the Azure subscription

2. Select the type of Azure resource you are searching for.

3. Setup the resource tags in a Json format. Please note that a AND operation is applied on tags. For example, to find a resource having its tag env equals to dev and its tag version equals to 2:

{
    "env": "dev",
    "version": "2"
}

3. Fill in optional generic output variables

4. Fill in optional specific output variables (depends on the type of resource you selected above)

Note: The task will succeed only if a single resource is found.

Connection String Parser

Usually, for security reasons, Sql Server connection strings are stored in a Key Vault or elsewhere. In your DevOps workflow, you may have to execute a Dacpac against a database, but you need to parse the connection string. This task helps you extract the password from this connection string.

Azure Active Directory Finder

This task will allow you to search for an application in your AAD, and get its application Id and/or object Id. Please note that the application to which the Vsts Azure connection refers to, should have at least the permission Read Directory Data on the Windows Azure Active Directory Api. Refer to this page page (step 3-11) for details.

Happy DevOps !
