FAQ

Q: How is the generator getting information from my Azure account? A: It invokes the Azure CLI under the hood.

Q: Is the CLI itself writing anything to my Azure subscriptions? A: No, it only reads JSON information in order to facilitate the setup process.

Q: Is any Azure information stored? A: Yes, some Azure information is stored in the .yo-rc file. Sensitive information (mainly password) is not stored, and you have to introduce it every time you run the generator.
