Azure Account Setup¶

Two accounts, one machine¶

This machine has two unrelated Azure accounts logged in. The personal account lives in ~/.azure/ (the default). The FTL account lives in an isolated config directory: ~/.azure-ftl/.

Every az command for FTL must use AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl. A bare az command without this prefix goes to the wrong account.

FTL account details¶

Field	Value
User	`jetafifa2026@gmail.com`
Subscription name	`FootbalTradeLeage`
Subscription ID	`8c48ba4e-7384-4579-a6e2-9aeb6c5a5de9`
Tenant	`Default Directory`
Config dir	`~/.azure-ftl/`
Credit	$200 Azure free credit (time-boxed)

Warning

The subscription name is spelled FootbalTradeLeage — one l in Football, no u in League. This is the exact name in Azure. Match it literally when scripting.

Running `az` commands safely¶

Path A — prepend per command (safe in any shell):

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az account show
AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az group create -n ftl-stg-rg-cin -l centralindia

Path B — source the env file once (for interactive sessions):

source ftl-infra/env.stg.sh    # exports AZURE_CONFIG_DIR + sub ID + naming vars
az account show                # now implicitly scoped to ~/.azure-ftl

The wrong way — bare az without the env file sourced:

az account show    # goes to the personal account. Do not do this during FTL work.

Exception: read-only az commands you explicitly intend to run against the personal account may omit AZURE_CONFIG_DIR. Any mutation or resource creation without it set is a bug.

Verify identity before acting¶

Run this before any Azure operation in a session:

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az account show \
  --query '{user:user.name, sub:name, id:id}' -o json

Expected output:

{"user": "jetafifa2026@gmail.com", "sub": "FootbalTradeLeage", "id": "8c48ba4e-7384-4579-a6e2-9aeb6c5a5de9"}

If any field differs, stop. The token has expired or the config dir is wrong. Re-login:

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az login --use-device-code
# Sign in as jetafifa2026@gmail.com

Budget and cost targets¶

FTL has $200 of Azure free credit. The budget is time-boxed — check remaining credit with:

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az consumption budget list

Staging cost targets with scale-to-zero:

Resource	Daily cost	Why it can't scale to zero
Redis Basic C0	~₹50/day	Always-on — no scale-to-zero option
ACR Basic	~₹5/day	Always-on
Postgres Flex (stopped nightly)	₹0	`scale-down.sh` stops it each night
All Container Apps (scaled to zero)	~₹0	Achieved with overnight scale-down
Target blended daily	~₹150/day	Applies scale-to-zero every night

Warning

Azure auto-restarts a stopped Postgres Flex server after 7 days. Running scale-down.sh every night prevents this — it stops Postgres fresh each night before the 7-day clock can expire.

Deployment phases¶

Follow the phased deploy plan in ftl-docs/architecture/12-new-stack-architecture.md:

P0/P1: staging SKUs only. Do not provision production-size Postgres Flex or Redis Standard.
P2 (tournament launch): upgrade to production SKUs — Postgres production tier, Redis Standard C1 minimum.

Key resources by environment¶

Resource type	Staging name	Resource group
Container Apps Environment	`ftl-stg-cae-cin`	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`
api Container App	`ftl-stg-api`	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`
ws Container App	`ftl-stg-ws`	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`
flusher Container App	`ftl-stg-flusher`	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`

Postgres Flex	`ftl-stg-pg`	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`
Redis	(staging)	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`
ACR	`ftlstgacrcin`	`ftl-stg-rg-cin`

Resource type	Prod name	Resource group
Container Apps Environment	`ftl-prd-cae-cin`	`ftl-prd-rg-cin`
api Container App	`ftl-prd-api`	`ftl-prd-rg-cin`

Useful diagnostic commands¶

Check revision mode on a Container App:

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az containerapp show \
  -g ftl-stg-rg-cin -n ftl-stg-api \
  --query 'properties.configuration.activeRevisionsMode' -o tsv

List all active revisions and their replica counts:

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az containerapp revision list \
  -g ftl-stg-rg-cin -n ftl-stg-api \
  --query "[?properties.active].{name:name,min:properties.template.scale.minReplicas,traffic:properties.trafficWeight}" \
  -o table

Check daily cost by resource (week-to-date):

AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.azure-ftl az rest --method post \
  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/8c48ba4e-7384-4579-a6e2-9aeb6c5a5de9/providers/Microsoft.CostManagement/query?api-version=2024-08-01" \
  --body '{"type":"ActualCost","timeframe":"WeekToDate","dataset":{"granularity":"Daily","aggregation":{"totalCost":{"name":"PreTaxCost","function":"Sum"}}}}'
