Specify service principal credentials in environment variables

1. Edit the ~/.bashrc file by adding the following environment variables.

   BashCopy

   bash export ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<azure_subscription_id>" export ARM_TENANT_ID="<azure_subscription_tenant_id>" export ARM_CLIENT_ID="<service_principal_appid>" export ARM_CLIENT_SECRET="<service_principal_password>" plaintext

2. To execute the ~/.bashrc script, run source ~/.bashrc (or its abbreviated equivalent . ~/.bashrc). You can also exit and reopen Cloud Shell for the script to run automatically.

   BashCopy

   bash . ~/.bashrc plaintext

3. Once the environment variables have been set, you can verify their values as follows:

   BashCopy

   bash printenv | grep ^ARM* plaintext

Using PowerShell:

1. To set the environment variables within a specific PowerShell session, use the following code. Replace the placeholders with the appropriate values for your environment.

   PowerShellCopy

   powershell $env:ARM_CLIENT_ID="<service_principal_app_id>" $env:ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<azure_subscription_id>" $env:ARM_TENANT_ID="<azure_subscription_tenant_id>" $env:ARM_CLIENT_SECRET="<service_principal_password>" plaintext

2. Run the following PowerShell command to verify the Azure environment variables:

   PowerShellCopy

   powershell gci env:ARM_* plaintext

3. To set the environment variables for every PowerShell session, create a PowerShell profile and set the environment variables within your profile.
