The plugin provides the user the ability to execute any Azure PowerShell cmdlets installed on the Windows server/machine. Azure PowerShell uses an additional set of cmdlets, which must be installed on the server/machine prior to execution. When executing Azure cmdlets, the inputs and outputs features described above are still available for a user to implement in the code snippet. A link to available Azure PowerShell cmdlets can be  found in the Appendix.

All workflow execution properties are also available to the shell script, but any print of secure properties using echo command will result in ***** being printed in FlexDeploy logs. This prevents secure property values like PASSWORD from passwords from being visible to any FlexDeploy user.

Artifacts

This operation delegates consumes/produces artifacts decision to the workflow developer. Check Consumes Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation requires artifacts to be delivered prior to execution of the script. Check Produces Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation creates artifacts. The artifacts folder is available via the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR variable.


Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.


Endpoint Execution

This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.


Special Considerations

Environment Variables - to use an input in your code snippet, you must create an environment variable by prefixing the plugin variable with $env: in order for it to be used by Windows PowerShell. This method must also be applied when using any environment variables, such as JAVA_HOME or FD_INSTANCE_CODE. Any number of inputs or properties can be used.
