The xCommand Azure integration allows your agent to use the az CLI and other Azure SDK tools on your behalf. By configuring service principal credentials, your agent can manage cloud resources, deploy applications, and query cloud state.

​
Features

  • Resource Management: Create, list, and manage Azure resources (Virtual Machines, Storage Accounts, SQL Databases, etc.).
  • App Services & Functions: Deploy and monitor serverless and web applications.
  • Active Directory (Entra ID): Manage users, groups, and service principals.
  • Kubernetes: Interact with AKS clusters.

​
Prerequisites

To use this integration, you need:
  1. The Azure CLI (az) installed on your machine.
  2. An Azure Service Principal with the necessary roles (e.g., Contributor) for the tasks you want to perform.

​
Configuration

You can configure the Azure integration by providing your service principal credentials.

​
Step 1: Migration

When you run the xCommand CLI, it will automatically update your ~/.xcommand/config.json with placeholder fields: 
{
  // ...
  "mode": "safe"
  // azure_client_id: your_client_id
  // azure_client_secret: your_client_secret
  // azure_tenant_id: your_tenant_id
  // azure_subscription_id: your_subscription_id
}

​
Step 2: Authentication

Fill in your service principal details: 
{
  "azure_client_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
  "azure_client_secret": "your-client-secret",
  "azure_tenant_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
  "azure_subscription_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}
xCommand will automatically set the AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_TENANT_ID, and AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variables and attempt an az login for the service principal.

​
Usage

Once configured, you can ask your xCommand agent to perform Azure tasks: 
# List VMs
❯ Show me all running VMs in my resource group

​
Safety & Control

In Safe Mode (default), any Azure commands that are potentially destructive (like deleting a resource group or terminating a VM) will require your confirmation. 
CONFIRMATION REQUIRED: AI wants to run a destructive command:
$ az group delete --name my-resource-group

Do you want to allow this? (y/n)
