Hi @wayfarer-rus and @IlyaFomenko. I noticed that you have recent activity in this repo, so I was hoping you could point me in the right direction for getting this reviewed. It's to help with issue #142 , as my team ran into the same need and are happy to contribute back what worked for us. Thanks!

@yaegor @Leonya Has there been any movement on this? Happy to post on the TeamCity support under our studio account as well if needed, but this seems the better place.

@yaegor @Leonya @wayfarer-rus @IlyaFomenko Can anyone please point me in the right direction of who owns this maybe? The initial request/comment was over 5 months ago...

@yaegor The Managed Identity feature would be very beneficial, is that something your team can look and support it?

[sugdyzhekov]

We are working on a brand new plugin based on actual Azure SDK. The initial release is expected till the end of the year. This feature is planned as part of the new plugin. Sorry for delay and any inconveniences.

Cheers

Have there been any updates to this? It has been 15 months since there was a note about a new version (22 months since we submitted it) and we see there is in fact a new version, but it does not support the managed identities still, so the new version blocks us completely as it removed the Identity at deploy it seems which means out VMs never come online in TeamCity.

I was hoping in that 15 months there would be some update from JetBrains as it was noted by @sugdyzhekov mentioned "This feature is planned as part of the new plugin."

Any info would be appreciated

@steve-watson Hi!

There were some unfortunate delays in the development, but we are still working on the new plugin and are planning to release it.

Just to clarify: it will be a brand new plugin, with it's own codebase and it's own repo. You can follow the progress here:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-83875/Azure-cloud-agents

As for this issue: due to some recent commits we made this code now has conflicts, but we appreciate all the work you did and see that this feature is needed, so we will integrate this feature into our code and fix all the conflicts ourself
