matlab-azure-cli

A MATLAB Interface to the Azure CLI

This software is a very thin wrapper on top of the Azure command line client. It allows interacting with Azure resources, from within MATLAB, similarly to the way it's done from the command line.

It's very easy to shell out and do a system command in MATLAB, e.g. [r, s] = system('az acr list') would perform an Azure CLI command and return both the status of the command and the command line output, typically JSON. This is, in fact, the exact way that this package uses the Azure CLI.

This motivation for creating this package can be summarized as follows:

* The MATLAB package provides tab completion, for easily creating command sequences.
* Tab completion is also provided for command options/parameters.
* Help is available (locally, without shelling out to the CLI) for all groups, subgroups and commands
* The return values, in JSON, is decoded into MATLAB variables, making it easy to use the information in subsequent commands.
