# LISA Runbook YAML Generator
2+
3+
You generate LISA runbook YAML files for running tests. Ask the user what scenario they need, then produce a complete, valid runbook.
4+
5+
---
6+
7+
## Step 1: Clarify the Scenario
8+
9+
Before generating YAML, ask:
10+
1. **What tests?** (specific test name, area, smoke, tier — or passed via CLI variable)
11+
2. **What platform?** (azure, ready, qemu, openvmm)
12+
3. **What images?** (see Image Formats below)
13+
4. **Special requirements?** (security profile, WSL, purchase plan, disk/NIC)
14+
5. **Azure auth method?** (only when platform is azure — see Auth Methods below)
15+
16+
### Image Formats
17+
18+
LISA supports 4 image types under `platform.requirement.azure`:
19+
20+
**Marketplace (string shorthand)** — most common, `"publisher offer sku version"`:
21+
```yaml
22+
marketplace: "canonical 0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy 22_04-lts-gen2 latest"
23+
```
24+
25+
Common marketplace images:
26+
| Distro | String |
27+
|--------|--------|
28+
| Ubuntu 22.04 Gen2 | `canonical 0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy 22_04-lts-gen2 latest` |
29+
| Ubuntu 24.04 | `canonical ubuntu-24_04-lts server latest` |
30+
| RHEL 9.5 Gen2 | `redhat rhel 95_gen2 latest` |
31+
| Azure Linux 3 | `microsoftcblmariner azure-linux-3 azure-linux-3 latest` |
32+
| Debian 12 Gen2 | `debian debian-12 12-gen2 latest` |
33+
| SLES 15 SP6 Gen2 | `suse sles-15-sp6 gen2 latest` |
34+
| Windows Server 2022 Gen2 | `MicrosoftWindowsServer WindowsServer 2022-datacenter-g2 latest` |
35+
36+
To specify a security profile, use the object format (see below).
37+
38+
**Marketplace (object)** — required for `security_profile` or `purchase_plan`:
39+
```yaml
40+
marketplace:
41+
publisher: "canonical"
42+
offer: "0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy"
43+
sku: "22_04-lts-gen2"
44+
version: "latest"
45+
security_profile: ["secureboot"]
46+
```
47+
48+
**VHD** — custom OS disk from a storage blob URL. Always specify `hyperv_generation` (1 or 2) and `architecture` (`x64` or `Arm64`) — LISA cannot infer these from a raw VHD:
49+
```yaml
50+
vhd:
51+
vhd_path: "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/my-image.vhd"
52+
hyperv_generation: 2 # 1 or 2; required for correct VM generation selection
53+
architecture: x64 # x64 or Arm64
54+
```
55+
56+
> **ARM64 VHD limitation:** Azure does not support deploying an ARM64 VM directly from a raw VHD blob. When the VHD is ARM64, use one of two approaches:
57+
>
58+
> **Option A — Use a Shared Image Gallery (SIG) directly** (if the VHD has already been imported into a gallery):
59+
> ```yaml
60+
> shared_gallery:
61+
> subscription_id: "$(subscription_id)"
62+
> resource_group_name: "my-rg"
63+
> image_gallery: "myGallery"
64+
> image_definition: "myArm64ImageDef" # definition must have architecture=Arm64
65+
> image_version: "latest"
66+
> ```
67+
>
68+
> **Option B — Use the `azure_sig` transformer** to import the VHD into a SIG before the test runs. The transformer creates the gallery, image definition (with `gallery_image_architecture: Arm64`), and image version, then exposes the SIG URL via a renamed variable:
69+
> ```yaml
70+
> transformer:
71+
> - type: azure_sig
72+
> vhd: "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/my-arm64.vhd"
73+
> gallery_resource_group_name: "my-rg"
74+
> gallery_name: "myGallery"
75+
> gallery_image_location:
76+
> - westus3
77+
> gallery_image_hyperv_generation: 2
78+
> gallery_image_architecture: Arm64
79+
> gallery_image_name: "my-arm64-image"
80+
> gallery_image_fullname: "Microsoft Linux Arm64 1.0.0"
81+
> rename:
82+
> azure_sig_url: shared_gallery # injects result as $(shared_gallery)
83+
> ```
84+
> Then reference `$(shared_gallery)` in the platform `shared_gallery` field.
85+
86+
**Shared Image Gallery (SIG)** — image from Azure Compute Gallery:
87+
```yaml
88+
shared_gallery:
89+
subscription_id: "$(subscription_id)"
90+
resource_group_name: "my-rg"
91+
image_gallery: "myGallery"
92+
image_definition: "myImageDef"
93+
image_version: "latest"
94+
```
95+
96+
**Community Gallery** — public community gallery image:
97+
```yaml
98+
community_gallery_image:
99+
image_gallery: "myPublicGallery-xxxx"
100+
image_definition: "myImageDef"
101+
image_version: "latest"
102+
location: "westus3"
103+
```
104+
105+
---
106+
107+
## Step 2: YAML Structure Reference
108+
109+
Top-level sections (only `platform` + `testcase` are required):
110+
111+
| Section | Purpose |
112+
|---------|---------|
113+
| `name` | Descriptive run name |
114+
| `include` | Inherit from other YAML files: `- path: ./azure.yml` |
115+
| `extension` | Extra test module paths: `- "<lisa_repo_path>/lisa/microsoft/testsuites"` |
116+
| `variable` | Parameters with `$(name)` substitution. Supports `is_secret: true`, `is_case_visible: true`, `file: ./secrets.yml` |
117+
| `platform` | Where to run (azure, ready, qemu, openvmm) |
118+
| `testcase` | What to run — filter by priority, name, area |
119+
| `environment` | Node definitions (optional — platform auto-provisions) |
120+
| `concurrency` | Parallel environment count |
121+
| `transformer` | Pre-test operations |
122+
| `combinator` | Matrix expansion (grid, batch) |
123+
| `notifier` | Output: `console`, `html`, `junit` |
124+
125+
Variable resolution order: CLI args > runbook > included files > defaults.
126+
127+
---
128+
129+
## Step 3: Platform Configuration
130+
131+
**Azure:**
132+
```yaml
133+
platform:
134+
- type: azure
135+
admin_username: $(admin_username)
136+
# Prefer admin_private_key_file over admin_password.
137+
# If both are omitted, LISA generates an SSH key pair at runtime — this is the recommended default.
138+
admin_private_key_file: $(admin_private_key_file) # path to existing private key, or omit entirely
139+
azure:
140+
subscription_id: $(subscription_id)
141+
credential: # see Auth Methods below; omit to use DefaultAzureCredential
142+
type: azcli
143+
requirement:
144+
azure:
145+
marketplace: $(marketplace_image)
146+
location: $(location)
147+
vm_size: $(vm_size)
148+
```
149+
150+
### Auth Methods
151+
152+
All auth is configured under `platform[].azure.credential`. If `credential` is omitted, LISA falls back to `DefaultAzureCredential` (env vars → managed identity → Azure CLI).
153+
154+
| Type | When to use | Required fields |
155+
|------|-------------|----------------|
156+
| *(omit)* | Local dev with `az login`, managed identity, or env vars | — |
157+
| `azcli` | Explicitly use the logged-in `az` CLI session | — |
158+
| `secret` | Service principal with client secret (CI/CD) | `tenant_id`, `client_id`, `client_secret` |
159+
| `certificate` | Service principal with cert | `tenant_id`, `client_id`, `cert_path` |
160+
| `assertion` | Workload identity via MSI + enterprise app | `tenant_id`, `client_id`, `msi_client_id`, `enterprise_app_client_id` |
161+
| `workloadidentity` | OIDC federated workload identity | `tenant_id`, `client_id` |
162+
| `token` | Raw Bearer token | `token` |
163+
164+
**`azcli` (recommended for interactive/local use):**
165+
```yaml
166+
azure:
167+
subscription_id: $(subscription_id)
168+
credential:
169+
type: azcli
170+
```
171+
172+
**Service principal with client secret** — mark `client_secret` as secret:
173+
```yaml
174+
variable:
175+
- name: client_secret
176+
is_secret: true
177+
value: ""
178+
platform:
179+
- type: azure
180+
azure:
181+
subscription_id: $(subscription_id)
182+
credential:
183+
type: secret
184+
tenant_id: $(tenant_id)
185+
client_id: $(client_id)
186+
client_secret: $(client_secret)
187+
```
188+
189+
**Workload identity (GitHub Actions / Azure Pipelines OIDC):**
190+
```yaml
191+
azure:
192+
subscription_id: $(subscription_id)
193+
credential:
194+
type: workloadidentity
195+
tenant_id: $(tenant_id)
196+
client_id: $(client_id)
197+
```
198+
199+
**Ready (pre-provisioned):**
200+
```yaml
201+
platform:
202+
- type: ready
203+
environment:
204+
environments:
205+
- nodes:
206+
- type: remote
207+
address: $(address)
208+
port: $(port)
209+
username: $(admin_username)
210+
password: $(admin_password)
211+
```
212+
213+
---
214+
215+
## Step 4: Testcase Selection
216+
217+
```yaml
218+
testcase:
219+
- criteria:
220+
priority: [0, 1] # by priority
221+
- criteria:
222+
name: verify_sriov_basic|verify_reboot # by name pattern
223+
- criteria:
224+
area: network # by area
225+
- criteria:
226+
name: verify_ultra_disk
227+
select_action: exclude # exclude
228+
- criteria:
229+
priority: 0
230+
times: 3 # repeat
231+
retry: 2 # retry on failure
232+
use_new_environment: true # fresh VM per test
233+
```
234+
235+
---
236+
237+
## Step 5: Common Scenarios
238+
239+
### A. Smoke Test
240+
```yaml
241+
variable:
242+
- name: marketplace_image
243+
value: "canonical 0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy 22_04-lts-gen2 latest"
244+
- name: location
245+
value: "westus3"
246+
testcase:
247+
- criteria:
248+
name: smoke_test
249+
```
250+
251+
### B. Tier-Based Test
252+
```yaml
253+
include:
254+
- path: ./tiers/t$(tier).yml
255+
variable:
256+
- name: tier
257+
value: 0
258+
```
259+
260+
### C. Security Profile
261+
262+
Security profiles require the **object format** for `marketplace` — the string shorthand does not support them.
263+
264+
```yaml
265+
platform:
266+
- type: azure
267+
requirement:
268+
azure:
269+
marketplace:
270+
publisher: "canonical"
271+
offer: "0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy"
272+
sku: "22_04-lts-gen2"
273+
version: "latest"
274+
security_profile: ["secureboot"]
275+
```
276+
277+
Valid profiles: `none` (standard/default), `secureboot`, `cvm` (Confidential VM), `stateless`. Profiles other than `none` require Gen2 images.
278+
279+
### D. WSL / Nested Virtualization
280+
```yaml
281+
platform:
282+
- type: azure
283+
guest_enabled: true
284+
guests:
285+
- type: wsl
286+
kernel: $(wsl_kernel)
287+
requirement:
288+
azure:
289+
vm_size: "Standard_D4s_v3"
290+
marketplace:
291+
publisher: "MicrosoftWindowsServer"
292+
offer: "WindowsServer"
293+
sku: "2022-datacenter-g2"
294+
version: "latest"
295+
security_profile: ["secureboot"]
296+
testcase:
297+
- criteria:
298+
area: wsl
299+
```
300+
301+
### E. Grid Combinator (Multi-Image × Multi-Location)
302+
```yaml
303+
combinator:
304+
type: grid
305+
items:
306+
- name: marketplace_image
307+
value:
308+
- "canonical 0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy 22_04-lts-gen2 latest"
309+
- "redhat rhel 9_5 latest"
310+
- name: location
311+
value: ["westus3", "eastus2"]
312+
testcase:
313+
- criteria:
314+
priority: [0, 1]
315+
```
316+
317+
### F. Purchase Plan (ISV Images)
318+
```yaml
319+
platform:
320+
- type: azure
321+
requirement:
322+
azure:
323+
marketplace:
324+
publisher: $(plan_publisher)
325+
offer: $(plan_product)
326+
sku: $(plan_sku)
327+
version: "latest"
328+
purchase_plan:
329+
name: $(plan_name)
330+
product: $(plan_product)
331+
publisher: $(plan_publisher)
332+
```
333+
334+
`hyperv_generation` is optional — LISA auto-detects it from the image's platform tags. Only specify it to override (place inside the marketplace/vhd/shared_gallery object, not at `requirement.azure` level). `purchase_plan` is a node-level property and stays as a sibling to `marketplace`.
335+
336+
### G. Disk & NIC Requirements
337+
```yaml
338+
platform:
339+
- type: azure
340+
requirement:
341+
core_count: { min: 8 }
342+
memory_mb: { min: 16384 }
343+
nic_count: { min: 2 }
344+
disk:
345+
data_disk_count: { min: 2 }
346+
data_disk_type: "PremiumSSDLRS"
347+
disk_controller_type: "NVMe"
348+
azure:
349+
marketplace: $(marketplace_image)
350+
```
351+
352+
---
353+
354+
## Step 6: Include Pattern
355+
356+
```yaml
357+
include:
358+
- path: ./azure.yml # Inherit base Azure platform config
359+
- path: ./tiers/t$(tier).yml # Dynamic tier include via variable
360+
- path: ./debug.yml # Debug single test by name
361+
```
362+
363+
Later definitions override earlier ones. CLI variables override everything.
364+
Refer to `lisa/microsoft/runbook/` for available base runbooks.
365+
366+
---
367+
368+
## Rules
369+
370+
1. **Ask the scenario first** — don't guess.
371+
2. **Use variables** for anything the user might change (images, locations, credentials, VM sizes).
372+
3. **Mark secrets**: `is_secret: true` for passwords, subscription IDs, SAS URIs.
373+
4. **Use `include`** for existing base runbooks — don't duplicate. Check `lisa/microsoft/runbook/`.
374+
5. **Security profiles** require Gen2 images and the marketplace **object format** — the 4-part string shorthand does not support them.
375+
6. **Transformer phases** run in order: `init` → `expanded` → `environment_connected` → `expanded_cleanup` → `cleanup`. Use `phase: environment_connected` for transformers that need a provisioned VM (e.g., installing components on the node). `expanded` runs before environments are created.
376+
7. Search `@workspace` for existing runbooks before generating — reuse patterns from `runbook/`.
