The armcompute module provides operations for working with Azure Compute.

Source code

• an Azure subscription
• Go 1.18 or above (You could download and install the latest version of Go from here. It will replace the existing Go on your machine. If you want to install multiple Go versions on the same machine, you could refer this doc.)

This project uses Go modules for versioning and dependency management.

Install the Azure Compute module:

go get github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/compute/armcompute/v6

When creating a client, you will need to provide a credential for authenticating with Azure Compute. The azidentity module provides facilities for various ways of authenticating with Azure including client/secret, certificate, managed identity, and more.

cred, err := azidentity.NewDefaultAzureCredential(nil)

For more information on authentication, please see the documentation for azidentity at pkg.go.dev/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azidentity.

Azure Compute module consists of one or more clients. We provide a client factory which could be used to create any client in this module.

clientFactory, err := armcompute.NewClientFactory(<subscription ID>, cred, nil)

You can use ClientOptions in package github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azcore/arm to set endpoint to connect with public and sovereign clouds as well as Azure Stack. For more information, please see the documentation for azcore at pkg.go.dev/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azcore.

options := arm.ClientOptions {
    ClientOptions: azcore.ClientOptions {
        Cloud: cloud.AzureChina,
    },
}
clientFactory, err := armcompute.NewClientFactory(<subscription ID>, cred, &options)

A client groups a set of related APIs, providing access to its functionality. Create one or more clients to access the APIs you require using client factory.

client := clientFactory.NewAvailabilitySetsClient()

The fake package contains types used for constructing in-memory fake servers used in unit tests. This allows writing tests to cover various success/error conditions without the need for connecting to a live service.

Please see https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/tree/main/sdk/samples/fakes for details and examples on how to use fakes.

Go uses semantic import versioning to ensure a good backward compatibility for modules. For Azure Go management SDK, we usually upgrade module version according to cooresponding service's API version. Regarding it could be a complicated experience for major version upgrade, we will try our best to keep the SDK API stable and release new version in backward compatible way. However, if any unavoidable breaking changes and a new major version releases for SDK modules, you could use these commands under your module folder to upgrade:

go install github.com/icholy/gomajor@latest
gomajor get github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/compute/armcompute@latest
