infrastructure as a code on azure using python

Currently we use boto (python library) to deploy infrastructure as code using AWS services. In my current project I am trying to create infrastructure as code for Azure, but I would like to stick with python to generate this code.

do we have any python libraries to invoke Azure APIs to setup infrastructure. or create json templates to deploy on azure.

If anyone stumbles over this in 2023 then I would suggest Pulumi as a cross language and cross platform IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tool. I have used it myself to write in C# and Python. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/

About how to create custom templates for Azure resource management, you can refer to the document https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-group-authoring-templates/ to know the template structure & format.

The basic structure of a template as below:

{
   "$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
   "contentVersion": "",
   "parameters": { ... },
   "variables": { ... },
   "resources": [ ... ],
   "outputs": { ... }
}

And you can access the schema url of deployment template (https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json) to get the metadata definition of template.

There is a python SDK (in preview) that allows to work with Azure Resource Manager to create resource groups, VMs...

You'll find the documentation here : http://azure-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/resourcemanagement.html

The SDK is hosted on GitHub : https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-python

Another solution could be to use Azure Resource Management REST APIs directly. These APIs are documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn790568.aspx

Hope this helps
