azmeta-codespace

Setup a pre-configured Codespace for Azure metadata analysis.

The Docker container for this Codespace is based on Ubuntu 20.04 with the following software pre-installed:

• Python 3.8
• Node.js 12

In the Codespace the following is installed for the codespace user:

• Pipx
• Virtualenv
• Virtualenvwrapper
• Jupyter Lab
  • Plotly Widgets

A Visual Studio Code workspace and a corresponding virtualenv called myproject is created in $HOME/workspace/myproject. It is recommended to switch to this workspace and clone your azmeta-based code and notebooks from Git to there.

The myproject virtualenv has some typicaly libraries for Azure metadata analysis pre-installed:

• azmeta
• azmeta-notebook
• azmeta-dataflow
• dagster
• jupyter (to support editing notebooks in Visual Studio Code)
• kqlmagic
• matplotlib
• pandas
• papermill
• openpyxl

sudo is enabled for the codespace user and the default password is codespace.

Deploy

1. Create a Codespaces plan.

2. Deploy an instance of this Codespace.

   

   Git Repository: wpbrown/azmeta-codespace

3. Wait for setup of your Codespace to complete.

   

4. Use Ctrl+` (graven accent) to open a terminal and run the command code ../myproject to open a preconfigured azmeta workspace. A new browser tab will open in the myproject workspace.

   

5. Open a terminal again in the new workspace and login to the Azure CLI with the az login command.

Connect to your Codespace

Your Codespace and all of your code runs in Azure regardless of how you interface with the it.

Note: Connecting to Jupyter Lab via a browser-based Codespaces session is not yet supported.

In a Browser

Go to https://online.visualstudio.com/environments and click your Codespace to resume it and connect in the browser.

To quickly jump in to the myproject workspace in your Codespace, bookmark https://online.visualstudio.com/environment/{CODESPACE_ID}?folder=%2Fhome%2Fcodespace%2Fworkspace%2Fmyproject where {CODESPACE_ID} is the GUID of your Codespace.
