Creating An Azure Credential For ParkMyCloud

Goal

The goal of this process is to configure limited access for ParkMyCloud to an Azure subscription. To do this you will need to obtain the following pieces of information to create the ParkMyCloud Azure credential:
Subscription ID
Tenant ID
App ID (Client ID)
App Access Key (Client Secret Key)



Unfortunately, most of this information is NOT easy to access using the Azure portal. So, we will need to use the command line. 

We will outline four approaches to doing this, two are manual and two are automatic using scripts from our public Github repository.

Choose the approach you with which you feel most comfortable:

Creating An Azure Credential Manually Using Windows Powershell
Creating An Azure Credential the Easy Way in Windows Using Powershell and get_azure_cred.ps1
Creating an Azure Credential Manually Using Azure CLI
Creating An Azure Cred the Easy Way In Linux Using azure-cli and get_azure_cred.sh Script


PLEASE NOTE: You must be an Azure Global Administrator to run the scripts. However, the role that gets created by the scripts and is used by ParkMyCloud is a limited access role. 



If you have questions, please send an email to support@parkmycloud.com.
