AzureRMR 2.1.2

• Fix a bug in template deployment where null fields were not handled correctly.
• New build_template_definition and build_parameters_parameters generics to help in template deployment. These can take as inputs R lists, JSON text strings, or file connections, and can also be extended by other packages.

AzureRMR 2.1.1

• Some refactoring of login code to better handle AzureAuth options. As part of this, the config_file argument for az_rm$new has been removed; to use a configuration file, call the (recommended) create_azure_login function.
• az_subscription$get_provider_api_version now returns only stable APIs by default. Set the argument stable_only=FALSE to allow returning preview APIs.

AzureRMR 2.1.0

• This version adds basic support for role-based access control (RBAC) at subscription, resource group and resource level. Add and remove role assignments, and retrieve role definitions. See ?rbac for more information.
• Fix a bug where if the user decides not to create a caching dir when prompted by AzureAuth, AzureRMR would pop up a second prompt.
• Internal refactoring to remove duplicated code.

AzureRMR 2.0.0

Significant interface changes

• New create_azure_login, get_azure_login and delete_azure_login functions to handle ARM authentication. By default, these will authenticate using your AAD user credentials without requiring you to create a service principal. Directly calling az_rm$new() will still work, but it's recommended to use create_azure_login and get_azure_login going forward. Login credentials will be saved and reused for subsequent sessions (see below).
• Token acquisition logic substantially enhanced and moved to a new package, AzureAuth. get_azure_token now supports four authentication methods for obtaining tokens (client_credentials, authorization_code, device_code and resource_owner). Tokens are also automatically cached and retrieved for use in subsequent sessions, without needing the user to reauthenticate. See the AzureAuth documentation for more details.

Other changes

• Don't print empty fields for ARM objects.
• Add optional etag field to resource object definition.
• Add location argument to az_resource_group$create_resource method, rather than hardcoding it to the resgroup location.
• Add wait argument when creating a new resource, similar to deploying a template, since some resources will return before provisioning is complete. Defaults to FALSE for backward compatibility.
• Export is_azure_token.
• Allow az_resource_group$deploy_template() to work without parameters arg (parameters folded into template itself).
• Fix a bug that kept az_resource_group$delete_resource from deleting the resource.
• New resource method az_resource$get_api_version to match set_api_version.
• By default, use the latest stable API version when interacting with resources. az_resource$set_api_version gains a new argument stable_only which defaults to TRUE; set this to FALSE if you want the latest preview version.
• az_resource$sync_fields() will respect a non-default API version.
• Add management lock functionality for subscriptions, resource groups and resources. Call create_lock to create a lock, get_lock to retrieve an existing lock object, and delete_lock to delete a lock. Call list_locks to list all the locks that apply to an object.
• Add tagging functionality for resource groups, similar to that for resources. Call set_tags to set tags, and get_tags to retrieve them.
• Allow named_list to accept empty inputs. The output will be a list of length 0 with a names attribute.
• Fix template deployment not to drop empty fields (related to #13).
