Create a CLI tool to automate template scaffolding

[erikschlegel]

A good user story should be (I-N-V-E-S-T principle)

• Independent (from other user stories, allowing to realize them in any order);
• Negotiable (omit details that would freeze the story);
• Valuable (implementation delivers an increment of functionality, observable by and useful to users);
• Estimable (developers should be able to estimate its size relative to other stories);
• Sizable (implementation fits in one iteration – if it needs many to complete, it is an EPIC);
• Testable (user must be able to check the conditions of satisfaction).

Description

*As a developer, I'd like to use a CLI, in order to scaffold a cobalt template and setup my local environment with the test harness, cloud security credentials and template configuration settings.

Acceptance Criteria

Reference: [Done-Done Checklist] (https://github.com/Microsoft/code-with-engineering-playbook/blob/master/Engineering/BestPractices/DoneDone.md)

• Component diagram outlining the functional boundaries for all CLI scripts and components.
• Should verify that I can install the CLI on my local machine.
• The CLI allows me to select the service principal used for terraform deployments
• My .env is pre-filled by the CLI after selecting my service principal and storage account.
• All bash scripts are derived from bash wizard.
• The cli actions include both unit and integration tests.
• Artifacts required to run the test harness locally are pulled down via the CLI.
• Terraform varibale and deployment files are auto generated once the target template name is provided.
• Pre-requisite dependencies are validated via the CLI.

Tasks

Stories are intended to be completed in a single sprint; if task breakdown creates addition work then team should discuss promoting the Story to an Epic.

EPIC - *As a developer, I'd like to use a CLI, in order to scaffold a cobalt template and setup my local environment with the test harness, cloud security credentials and template configuration settings.

As a developer, I'd like to have a CLI cmd structure with help documentation so I understand how to use the tool.

As a developer, I should be able to authenticate to Azure, so that I can run deployments.

As a developer, I'd like to have a CLI that will configure my local test harness, so that I don't have a lot of manual effort.

As a developer, I'd like to have a CLI that scaffolds out my template structure so I don't have a lot of manual setup.
