Mount your Azure account as a filesystem, so you could cd into your Azure account, ls all resource groups, cd into a resource group, and cat a resource.
Reuse your Linux productivity skills and tools to script against Azure like regular files and directories.

Structure

- Subscription (root)
      - Resource Groups
            - Resources (json)
      - @tags
            - Tags
                  - Resources (json)
                  - Resource Groups
                        - Resources (json)

All nodes are directories, except leaf nodes which are files First level directories that start with "@" are artificial directories injected to provide additional functionality (Resource Group names can't start with "@" so you can be sure those won't conflict)

Known issues

• Network calls on GetAttr cause ls in Resource Group level to get and cache every resource in that resource group (more info).
• Only basic FUSE callbacks are implemented.
• You have to open a tag folder in order to populate it's content. You can't cd @tags/someTag/someRg before you cd into 'someTag' because 'someRg' won't exist yet in this path.
• Only tag names are considered, not tag values.
• All Azure operations are limited to return 50 items

Usage

usage: ./azfuse --mount-point dir
Once the FUSE server is running it will block, so consider running this in background
  -azure-client-id string
        app id of a spn with required permissions. Alternatively, set environment variable 'AZURE_CLIENT_ID'
  -azure-client-secret string
        app key of a spn with required permissions. Alternatively, set environment variable 'AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET'
  -azure-subscription-id string
        subscription id to mount. Alternatively, set environment variable 'AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID'
  -azure-tenant-id string
        Id of the Azure AD that is associated with the subscription. Alternatively, set environment variable 'AZURE_TENANT_ID'
  -mount-point string
        an empty directory to mount at
  -v    Print verbose (debug) level messages

Tested on

• Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
  • FUSE is built in
• macOS 10.12.6
  • install osxfuse
  • run Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/Resources/load_osxfus before using
  • remember to escape '@' in virtual directories like @tags
