## Concepts

The `@pulumi/azure` package provides a strongly-typed means to build cloud applications that create
and interact closely with Azure resources.  Resources are exposed for the entire Azure surface area,
including (but not limited to), 'appinsights', 'compute', 'cosmosdb', 'keyvault', and more.

## Configuring credentials

There are a variety of ways credentials may be configured for the Azure provider, appropriate for
different use cases. They are enumerated [in the quickstart guide](
https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/cloud-providers/azure/setup/).

## Reference
