Azure CLI Operations

Purpose

Common Azure CLI operations for managing YT Summarizer infrastructure resources including container registries, Kubernetes clusters, storage accounts, and secrets.

When to Use

•Checking container image tags in ACR
•Managing AKS cluster resources
•Querying storage accounts and connection strings
•Retrieving secrets from Key Vault
•Validating Azure resource status

Do Not Use When

•Modifying production infrastructure (use Terraform)
•Making permanent configuration changes
•Operations that should be automated in CI/CD

Common Operations

Azure Container Registry (ACR)

List image tags

bash

az acr repository show-tags \
  --name acrytsummprd \
  --repository yt-summarizer-api \
  --orderby time_desc \
  --top 10

Show repository manifests

bash

az acr repository show-manifests \
  --name acrytsummprd \
  --repository yt-summarizer-api

Check repository list

bash

az acr repository list --name acrytsummprd

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Get cluster credentials

bash

az aks get-credentials \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod \
  --name aks-yt-summarizer-prod

List node pools

bash

az aks nodepool list \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod \
  --cluster-name aks-yt-summarizer-prod

Show cluster details

bash

az aks show \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod \
  --name aks-yt-summarizer-prod

Azure Storage

Get connection string

bash

az storage account show-connection-string \
  --name stytsummprd \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod

List storage accounts

bash

az storage account list \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod

Check blob containers

bash

az storage container list \
  --account-name stytsummprd \
  --connection-string "<connection-string>"

Azure Key Vault

Get secret value

bash

az keyvault secret show \
  --name OpenAI-ApiKey \
  --vault-name kv-yt-summarizer \
  --query value \
  --output tsv

List secrets (names only)

bash

az keyvault secret list \
  --vault-name kv-yt-summarizer \
  --query "[].name"

Check secret expiration

bash

az keyvault secret show \
  --name <secret-name> \
  --vault-name kv-yt-summarizer \
  --query "{name:name, expires:attributes.expires}"

Resource Groups

List resources in group

bash

az resource list \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod \
  --output table

Show resource group info

bash

az group show \
  --name rg-yt-summarizer-prod

Validation Patterns

Check if image exists before deployment

bash

if az acr repository show-tags \
  --name acrytsummprd \
  --repository yt-summarizer-api \
  --query "contains(@, 'pr-110')" \
  --output tsv; then
  echo "Image exists"
else
  echo "Image not found"
fi

Verify AKS cluster health

bash

az aks get-credentials \
  --resource-group rg-yt-summarizer-prod \
  --name aks-yt-summarizer-prod

kubectl get nodes
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

Best Practices

•Always specify resource group explicitly to avoid accidents
•Use --output tsv for scripting and piping
•Use --query to filter results and reduce output
•Validate before acting - check if resources exist first
•Never commit secrets - use Key Vault references instead
