Question

How can I programmatically create a new resource group, and doc intelligence and storage account resources in that newly created group in Java?

My goal is to programmatically create a new resource group, and create a doc intelligence and storage account in that newly created group in Java. I've looked at some of the ARM SDK for Java documentation but it seems outdated and is causing some errors.

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

To programmatically create a new Resource Group, Azure AI Doc Intelligence resource, and Storage Account in Java, you need to use the Azure SDK for Java (management libraries).

Dependencies (Maven) : Use the latest version of these packages:
Authenticate

Use DefaultAzureCredential for local dev (ensure you have az login or AZURE_CLIENT_ID, etc. set up).

import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder; import com.azure.resourcemanager.AzureResourceManager; import com.azure.resourcemanager.resources.fluentcore.profile.AzureProfile; import com.azure.core.management.profile.AzureEnvironment; AzureProfile profile = new AzureProfile(AzureEnvironment.AZURE); AzureResourceManager azure = AzureResourceManager .authenticate(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build(), profile) .withDefaultSubscription();

Creating Resource Group

String resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"; String region = "eastus"; azure.resourceGroups().define(resourceGroupName) .withRegion(region) .create();

Create Storage Account

import com.azure.resourcemanager.storage.models.SkuName; import com.azure.resourcemanager.storage.models.Kind; String storageAccountName = "myuniquestorage" + System.currentTimeMillis(); // must be globally unique azure.storageAccounts().define(storageAccountName) .withRegion(region) .withExistingResourceGroup(resourceGroupName) .withSku(SkuName.STANDARD_LRS) .withKind(Kind.STORAGE_V2) .create();

Create Azure AI Document Intelligence

The AI Document Intelligence API is part of Cognitive Services, so you create a Cognitive Services Account of kind "FormRecognizer".

import com.azure.resourcemanager.cognitiveservices.CognitiveServicesManager;
import com.azure.resourcemanager.cognitiveservices.models.Kind;
import com.azure.resourcemanager.cognitiveservices.models.Sku;
CognitiveServicesManager cognitiveServicesManager = CognitiveServicesManager
        .authenticate(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build(), profile);
String cognitiveAccountName = "myformrecognizer" + System.currentTimeMillis();
cognitiveServicesManager.accounts().define(cognitiveAccountName)
    .withRegion(region)
    .withExistingResourceGroup(resourceGroupName)
    .withKind(Kind.FORM_RECOGNIZER)
    .withSku(new Sku().withName("S0"))
    .withTags(Map.of("env", "dev"))
    .create();

Note:

Ensure that the Form Recognizer (Doc Intelligence) resource kind is correct: Kind.FORM_RECOGNIZER.
You need to register Microsoft.CognitiveServices and Microsoft.Storage resource providers in your subscription if not already registered.
The names (especially for Storage and Cognitive accounts) must be globally unique.

The azure-resourcemanager SDK is actively maintained, but make sure you use the correct combination of AzureResourceManager and CognitiveServicesManager, the two operate differently.

HTH!

Thank you for your prompt and detailed response. The part that I am having trouble with is the authentication. I am unable to access the client ID and client secret, so are there other methods of authentication for the Azure Default Credential?

Hi Michael Wei

You can follow below guide to use enable service principal authentication

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/authentication#assign-a-role-to-a-service-principal

You can also use Managed identity method to authenticate.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document-intelligence/authentication/managed-identities?view=doc-intel-4.0.0

You can also use key based authentication to use the resources. Keys can be found under resource management or authentication tab

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document-intelligence/authentication/managed-identities?view=doc-intel-4.0.0

Thank you.

Thank you for the help with the authentication, I ended up using CLI auth, as it is a little simpler. Currently the issue is with the creation of the Doc Intelligence resource. More specifically, the import in your solution:

"import com.azure.resourcemanager.models.Kind" does not exist anymore. What is the most up to date sytnax for this or has the feature been updated into something else? As well, how can I programmatically create a project within the new document intelligence resource?

Thank you.

As well, it seems that the CognitiveServicesManager expects a subscriptionID when it is being created.
