Logging in to Azure

The Week 2 assignment requires access to the HackYourFuture Azure tenant to upload files to Azure Blob Storage (Task 3).

In GitHub Codespaces

The Azure CLI is pre-installed in this Codespace. You only need to authenticate.

Run the following command in the Codespace terminal:

az login --use-device-code

You will see output like:

To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin
and enter the code XXXXXXXX to authenticate.
  1. Open microsoft.com/devicelogin in your browser.
  2. Enter the code shown in the terminal.
  3. Sign in with the HackYourFuture credentials your teacher provided (format: firstname.lastname@hackyourfuture.net or similar).
  4. Return to the Codespace terminal. You should see your account details printed.

Verify the login succeeded:

az account show --query "{user:user.name, subscription:name, tenant:homeTenantId}" --output table

The user field should show your HackYourFuture account email.

On your local machine

If you are working locally and the Azure CLI is already installed from Week 1, run:

az login

This opens a browser window for you to sign in. After signing in, return to the terminal and verify with the command above.

If az is not installed, follow the official installation guide for your OS, then run az login.

Troubleshooting

"The subscription is not in the HackYourFuture tenant": You are logged in with a personal or work account. Run az logout, then az login --use-device-code again and use the HYF credentials.

"Authorization failed" on storage commands: Your account may not have the Storage Blob Data Contributor role on sthyfstudentsdemo. Contact your teacher.

Code expired: The device login code is valid for 15 minutes. If it expires, re-run az login --use-device-code to get a new one.
