  • Read Key Vault secret value
    az keyvault secret show --vault-name <name> --name <name> --query value -o tsv

    Extract raw secret with no quotes via --query/-o tsv; safe to pipe into env

  • List VMs with power state
    az vm list -d -o table --query "[].{name:name,ip:publicIps,state:powerState}"

    -d enriches with runtime IP/power state; plain list omits these fields

  • Login as service principal
    az login --service-principal -u <id> -p "$AZ_SECRET" --tenant <id>

    Non-interactive auth for CI; modern: use --federated-token for OIDC, no secret
