Trouble with auth for making a pool

[SamuelBrand1]

Summary

The default auth path in cfa-cloudops appears to require service-principal attributes instead of using DefaultAzureCredential? Pre-apologies if I've missed something obvious!

On Linux VM (VAP), I expected the default path to work with the usual Azure login, but pool creation failed because cfa-cloudops asked for azure_tenant_id and azure_client_id.

Reprex

Environment:

• Linux VAP VM
• authenticated via Azure login CLI az login --identity
• no explicit service-principal env vars like AZURE_TENANT_ID or AZURE_CLIENT_ID

Call path:

• construct CloudClient(...) using the default auth mode
• call create_pool(...)

The error I get is :

AttributeError: A non-None value for attribute azure_tenant_id is required for this operation.
A non-None value for attribute azure_client_id is required for this operation.

I had this issue too. It was resolved by using keyvault arg during CloudClient authentication per @ryanraaschCDC's suggestion

client = CloudClient(keyvault = {your team's keyvault name})
