📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe installer now uses an active Azure CLI session for Azure API calls when no credentials file exists. It reads the default subscription and tenant, enforces manual credentials mode, rejects Azure CLI authentication during cluster asset generation, and documents these constraints.

Azure CLI azureProfile.json subscription cloudName environmentName AzureCLICredential azidentity source cloud selection
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The Azure CLI manages state, including subscription and environment (cloud) information, primarily within the ~/.azure directory [1]. The core file involved is azureProfile.json, which caches user profiles and subscription details [1][2]. Subscription and Cloud Selection The Azure CLI maintains an active cloud and an active subscription context [3][4][5]: 1. Cloud Name (environmentName): The active cloud (e.g., AzureCloud, AzureChinaCloud) is determined by the CLI configuration [5]. You can switch the active cloud using az cloud set --name <cloud-name> [6][5]. This selection affects which endpoints the CLI communicates with [6]. 2. Subscription: The active subscription is tracked per cloud [3][4]. Within azureProfile.json, each subscription is associated with a specific environmentName [3]. When you switch clouds, the CLI attempts to automatically select or switch to the subscription associated with that cloud [4][7]. You can explicitly set the active subscription using az account set --subscription <id-or-name> [8][9]. AzureCLICredential and azidentity The AzureCLICredential (found in the azidentity library) allows applications to authenticate using the account currently logged into the Azure CLI (via az login) [10][11]. * Selection Logic: When an application uses AzureCLICredential, it relies on the authentication state managed by the Azure CLI [11]. By default, it uses the "current" account and tenant associated with the CLI's session [12][13]. * Customization: If an application needs to target a specific subscription or tenant rather than the CLI's default, the AzureCLICredentialOptions can be used to specify a Subscription ID or TenantID [12][13]. This programmatically overrides the CLI's current active subscription for that specific credential instance [12][13]. In summary, the Azure CLI uses azureProfile.json to persist the relationship between subscriptions and environments [3][1]. The azidentity AzureCLICredential leverages this persisted state to facilitate authentication, while providing options to override the active subscription context for specific development scenarios [12][11].

Validate the Azure CLI environment before creating the credential.
GetSessionWithCredentials derives the ARM endpoint and authority from the installer cloud, but NewAzureCLICredential receives only the subscription or tenant and uses the active Azure CLI cloud. credentialsFromAzureCLIProfile selects the first isDefault subscription without checking its environmentName. A default from another CLI cloud can therefore produce a token and endpoint mismatch.
Validate the active CLI environment and the selected subscription before creating AzureCLICredential. Use the profile’s environmentName, not cloudName, and map Azure CLI names to the installer’s names (AzureCloud to AzurePublicCloud, for example). For Azure Stack, validate the configured endpoint or custom CLI environment instead of comparing raw cloud names. Document the required az cloud set configuration.

The installer uses cloudName from install-config. Azure CLI uses whatever cloud az is on. We only read the default subscription and tenant from azureProfile.json. For Gov, China, or Stack, run az cloud set so it matches install-config.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@rasrivastava, understood. The installer cloud and the active Azure CLI cloud are independent.
A mismatched az cloud can still cause a token audience or endpoint mismatch. Please document the required command for non-public clouds:
az cloud set --name <matching-cloud>Runtime validation would also prevent a costly configuration error before the installer makes Azure API calls.

I would think you would still be able to create a cluster with this authentication using Manual mode. Passthrough mode uses the installer service principal, but manual mode does not..

nit: based on coderabbits, feedback you might want to mention to specify a cloud, if users are using govcloud or another cloud:
az cloud set --name <matching-cloud>

Add Azure CLI (az login) as a fourth installer auth path, alongside client secret, certificate, and MSI.
When no credentials file is present (
~/.azure/osServicePrincipal.json, orAZURE_AUTH_LOCATIONif set), the installer reads the default subscription and tenant from~/.azure/azureProfile.jsonand usesazidentity.NewAzureCLICredentialfor its own Azure API calls (create install-config, validation, metadata).
