More information and different authentication approaches using Azure Identity can be found in this document.
Authenticate the Client
The default option to create an authenticated client is to use DefaultAzureCredential. Since all management APIs go through the same endpoint, in order to interact with resources, only one top-level ArmClient has to be created.
To authenticate to Azure and create an ArmClient, do the following:
using Azure.Core;
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
// Code omitted for brevity
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
Additional documentation for the Azure.Identity.DefaultAzureCredential class can be found in .

Examples
Create an availability set
Before creating an availability set, we need to have a resource group.
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupCollection rgCollection = subscription.GetResourceGroups();
// With the collection, we can create a new resource group with an specific name
string rgName = "myRgName";
AzureLocation location = AzureLocation.WestUS2;
ArmOperation<ResourceGroupResource> lro = await rgCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, rgName, new ResourceGroupData(location));
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = lro.Value;
// First, initialize the ArmClient and get the default subscription
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
// Now we get a ResourceGroupResource collection for that subscription
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupCollection rgCollection = subscription.GetResourceGroups();
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await rgCollection.GetAsync(rgName);
// First, we get the availability set collection from the resource group
AvailabilitySetCollection availabilitySetCollection = resourceGroup.GetAvailabilitySets();
// With GetAllAsync(), we can get a list of the availability sets in the collection
AsyncPageable<AvailabilitySetResource> response = availabilitySetCollection.GetAllAsync();
await foreach (AvailabilitySetResource availabilitySet in response)
{
Console.WriteLine(availabilitySet.Data.Name);
}
Update an availability set
// First, initialize the ArmClient and get the default subscription
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
// Now we get a ResourceGroupResource collection for that subscription
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupCollection rgCollection = subscription.GetResourceGroups();
// With the collection, we can create a new resource group with an specific name
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await rgCollection.GetAsync(rgName);
AvailabilitySetCollection availabilitySetCollection = resourceGroup.GetAvailabilitySets();
string availabilitySetName = "myAvailabilitySet";
AvailabilitySetResource availabilitySet = await availabilitySetCollection.GetAsync(availabilitySetName);
// availabilitySet is an AvailabilitySetResource instance created above
AvailabilitySetPatch update = new AvailabilitySetPatch()
{
PlatformFaultDomainCount = 3
};
AvailabilitySetResource updatedAvailabilitySet = await availabilitySet.UpdateAsync(update);
Delete an availability set
// First, initialize the ArmClient and get the default subscription
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
// Now we get a ResourceGroupResource collection for that subscription
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupCollection rgCollection = subscription.GetResourceGroups();
// With the collection, we can create a new resource group with an specific name
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await rgCollection.GetAsync(rgName);
AvailabilitySetCollection availabilitySetCollection = resourceGroup.GetAvailabilitySets();
string availabilitySetName = "myAvailabilitySet";
AvailabilitySetResource availabilitySet = await availabilitySetCollection.GetAsync(availabilitySetName);
// delete the availability set
await availabilitySet.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
Check if availability set exists
If you just want to verify if the availability set exists, you can use the function CheckIfExists.
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupCollection rgCollection = subscription.GetResourceGroups();
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await rgCollection.GetAsync(rgName);
string availabilitySetName = "myAvailabilitySet";
bool exists = await resourceGroup.GetAvailabilitySets().ExistsAsync(availabilitySetName);
if (exists)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Availability Set {availabilitySetName} exists.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine($"Availability Set {availabilitySetName} does not exist.");
}
Add a tag to an availability set
// First, initialize the ArmClient and get the default subscription
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
// Now we get a ResourceGroupResource collection for that subscription
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupCollection rgCollection = subscription.GetResourceGroups();
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await rgCollection.GetAsync(rgName);
AvailabilitySetCollection availabilitySetCollection = resourceGroup.GetAvailabilitySets();
string availabilitySetName = "myAvailabilitySet";
AvailabilitySetResource availabilitySet = await availabilitySetCollection.GetAsync(availabilitySetName);
// add a tag on this availabilitySet
AvailabilitySetResource updatedAvailabilitySet = await availabilitySet.AddTagAsync("key", "value");
