Install individual parts of azure cli only.

[martinitus]

When I run pip install azure-cli it takes forever because it installs all of the azure packages listed below. This is really inconvenient, as all I need is a dev-dependency which provides az login and allows me to instantiate the DefaultAzureCredential() from azure.identity via the AzureCliCredential.

Python offers ways to install a specific configuration of a package, e.g. something like pip install azure-cli[login] should be possible to implement in the packaging step rather easily.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

If you are just trying to use Azure.Identity's AzureCliCredential, I found a minimal set of packages that are needed to use az login and az account get-access-token. I have not tested any other az commands so don't expect them to work. I suggest using a python virtual environment to install this in. The --no-deps is very important!

    pip install --no-deps \
    azure-cli \
    azure-cli-core \
    azure-cli-telemetry \
    azure-common \
    azure-core \
    azure-mgmt-core \
    azure-mgmt-resource \
    azure-mgmt-subscription \
    anyio \
    argcomplete \
    certifi \
    chardet \
    charset-normalizer \
    humanfriendly \
    idna \
    isodate \
    jmespath \
    knack \
    msal \
    msal-extensions \
    msrest \
    msrestazure \
    oauthlib \
    packaging \
    pkginfo \
    portalocker \
    PyYAML \
    requests \
    requests-oauthlib \
    setuptools \
    six \
    sniffio \
    typing_extensions \
    urllib3

Even with this minimal set of packages, the installed size (of the virtualenv directory) is still 314MB. I was able to further reduce the size by aggressively deleting files that are not needed to run the above two commands.

    # /opt/azcli is the location that I put my python virtual environment
    du -s -h -t 1M /opt/azcli/lib/python3.*/site-packages/azure/cli/command_modules/* | awk '{print $2}' | xargs rm -r
    rm -r /opt/azcli/lib/python3.*/site-packages/azure/mgmt/resource/policy/v*
    rm -r /opt/azcli/lib/python3.*/site-packages/azure/mgmt/resource/templatespecs/v*
    rm -r /opt/azcli/lib/python3.*/site-packages/azure/mgmt/resource/resources/v*

Your copy of du may not have the -t option, which will show only show results larger than the given size. I didn't take the time to figure out which command_modules less than 1M are actually needed.
There are definitely more that could be deleted, but at a certain point, the time cost of guessing and checking what could be deleted was not worth it.
The final reduced size of the virtualenv after these deletions is 69MB

This is definititely not something you want to use in production, and it may break at any point in the future, but it'll do the trick in a development or CI setting until a better solution is developed.

This was inspired by this blog post: https://usrme.xyz/posts/how-to-trim-a-container-image-that-includes-azure-cli/

As an example, I plucked out the profile command group and put it into a package which is installed on top of azure-cli-core. I also added an entry point script -

import sys

from azure.cli.core import get_default_cli


def invoke_default_cli():
    """Simply invokes the default CLI program."""
    az_cli = get_default_cli()
    exit_code = az_cli.invoke(sys.argv[1:])
    sys.exit(exit_code)

The package is here: https://github.com/AkhilGNair/azure-cli-profile--unofficial - I used the files from Azure CLI version 2.69.0.

• If you just need az login, obviously it is much faster to install (~2 minutes). Still not exactly quick.
• It is around ~70-80mb on disk as opposed to 1.15GB - 1.23GB for azure-cli.
• It's ~7.5x faster to call something like az --help due to the vastly simplified entrypoint.

I feel like a nice solution would be finding a way to move src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/profile into azure-cli-core, along with a slimmed down entrypoint. There are many use cases to just have the login tools. Logging in is also a pre-req to using the rest of the CLI commands. Hence I didn't think it would be too out of place to consider it being in the core module.

And if you're really jonesing for a speedy login:
