Set up Azure CLI for Azure HPC Cache

Follow these steps to prepare your environment before using Azure CLI to create or manage an Azure HPC Cache.

[!INCLUDE cloud-shell-try-it.md]

Install Azure CLI

Azure HPC Cache requires version 2.7 or later of the Azure CLI. Run az --version to find the version and dependent libraries that are installed. To install or upgrade, see Install Azure CLI.

az --version

Install the Azure HPC Cache extension

Azure HPC Cache functions are not part of the main code base, so you also must install the extension reference. Follow the instructions below.

  1. Sign in

    Sign in using the az login command if you're using a locally installed version of the CLI.

    az login

    Follow the steps displayed in your terminal to complete the authentication process.

    [!TIP] If you have multiple subscriptions, you need to choose one. Select it when you start a Cloud Shell session in the Azure Portal, or follow the instructions in Get started with Azure CLI to set your subscription from the command line.

  2. Install the Azure CLI extension

    The Azure HPC Cache functions are provided as an Azure CLI extension - it is not yet part of the core CLI package. You need to install the extension reference before you can use it.

    Azure CLI extensions give you access to experimental and pre-release commands. To learn more about extensions, including updating and uninstalling, see Use extensions with Azure CLI.

    Install the extension for Azure HPC Cache by running the following command:

    az extension add --name hpc-cache

Set default resource group (optional)

Most of the hpc-cache commands require you to pass the cache's resource group. You can set the default resource group by using az configure.

Next steps

After installing the Azure CLI extension and logging in, you can use Azure CLI to create and manage Azure HPC Cache systems.
