Add a
Microsoft Azure
Cloud Account

To create a

Microsoft Azure

cloud account, you make a POST request. The request body includes parameters specific to

Microsoft Azure

that are required to create the cloud account.

Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the

Automation Assembler

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.

Verify that you have the following parameters for the new cloud account:

Microsoft Azure

subscription ID

Microsoft Azure

tenant ID

Microsoft Azure

client application ID

Microsoft Azure

client application secret key

As an alternative to using the

cloud-accounts

API call, you can use a

cloud-accounts-azure

API call that creates a

Microsoft Azure

cloud account with fewer input parameters.

Assign the

Microsoft Azure

account variables.

azure_subscription_id='<your_azure_subscription_id>'
azure_tenant_id='<your_azure_tenant_id>'
azure_client_application_id='<your_azure_client_application_id>'
azure_client_application_secret_key='<your_azure_client_application_secret_key>'

Submit a request to create a

Microsoft Azure

cloud account with default cloud zones.

curl -X POST \
  "$url/iaas/api/cloud-accounts?apiVersion=$api_version" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \
  -d '{
    "cloudAccountType":"azure",
    "privateKeyId":"'$azure_client_application_id'",
    "privateKey":"'$azure_client_application_secret_key'",
    "cloudAccountProperties": {
      "userLink":"'$azure_subscription_id'",
