Core Workflows
1. Create Weights & Biases Instance
using Azure.ResourceManager.WeightsAndBiases;
using Azure.ResourceManager.WeightsAndBiases.Models;
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
.Result
.GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceCollection instances = resourceGroup.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstances();
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceData data = new WeightsAndBiasesInstanceData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
Properties = new WeightsAndBiasesInstanceProperties
{
// Marketplace configuration
Marketplace = new WeightsAndBiasesMarketplaceDetails
{
SubscriptionId = "<marketplace-subscription-id>",
OfferDetails = new WeightsAndBiasesOfferDetails
{
PublisherId = "wandb",
OfferId = "wandb-pay-as-you-go",
PlanId = "wandb-payg",
PlanName = "Pay As You Go",
TermId = "monthly",
TermUnit = "P1M"
}
},
// Admin user
User = new WeightsAndBiasesUserDetails
{
FirstName = "Admin",
LastName = "User",
EmailAddress = "admin@example.com",
Upn = "admin@example.com"
},
// W&B-specific configuration
PartnerProperties = new WeightsAndBiasesPartnerProperties
{
Region = WeightsAndBiasesRegion.EastUS,
Subdomain = "my-company-wandb"
}
},
// Optional: Enable managed identity
Identity = new ManagedServiceIdentity(ManagedServiceIdentityType.SystemAssigned)
};
ArmOperation<WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource> operation = await instances
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-wandb-instance", data);
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"W&B Instance created: {instance.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Provisioning state: {instance.Data.Properties.ProvisioningState}");
2. Get Existing Instance
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance = await resourceGroup
.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstanceAsync("my-wandb-instance");
Console.WriteLine($"Instance: {instance.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Location: {instance.Data.Location}");
Console.WriteLine($"State: {instance.Data.Properties.ProvisioningState}");
if (instance.Data.Properties.PartnerProperties != null)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Region: {instance.Data.Properties.PartnerProperties.Region}");
Console.WriteLine($"Subdomain: {instance.Data.Properties.PartnerProperties.Subdomain}");
}
3. List All Instances
// List in resource group
await foreach (WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance in
resourceGroup.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstances())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Instance: {instance.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($" Location: {instance.Data.Location}");
Console.WriteLine($" State: {instance.Data.Properties.ProvisioningState}");
}
// List in subscription
SubscriptionResource subscription = await client.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
await foreach (WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance in
subscription.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstancesAsync())
{
Console.WriteLine($"{instance.Data.Name} in {instance.Id.ResourceGroupName}");
}
4. Configure Single Sign-On (SSO)
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance = await resourceGroup
.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstanceAsync("my-wandb-instance");
// Update with SSO configuration
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceData updateData = instance.Data;
updateData.Properties.SingleSignOnPropertiesV2 = new WeightsAndBiasSingleSignOnPropertiesV2
{
Type = WeightsAndBiasSingleSignOnType.Saml,
State = WeightsAndBiasSingleSignOnState.Enable,
EnterpriseAppId = "<entra-app-id>",
AadDomains = { "example.com", "contoso.com" }
};
ArmOperation<WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource> operation = await resourceGroup
.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstances()
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-wandb-instance", updateData);
5. Update Instance
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance = await resourceGroup
.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstanceAsync("my-wandb-instance");
// Update tags
WeightsAndBiasesInstancePatch patch = new WeightsAndBiasesInstancePatch
{
Tags =
{
{ "environment", "production" },
{ "team", "ml-platform" },
{ "costCenter", "CC-ML-001" }
}
};
instance = await instance.UpdateAsync(patch);
Console.WriteLine($"Updated instance: {instance.Data.Name}");
6. Delete Instance
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance = await resourceGroup
.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstanceAsync("my-wandb-instance");
await instance.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
Console.WriteLine("Instance deleted");
7. Check Resource Name Availability
// Check if name is available before creating
// (Implement via direct ARM call if SDK doesn't expose this)
try
{
await resourceGroup.GetWeightsAndBiasesInstanceAsync("desired-name");
Console.WriteLine("Name is already taken");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 404)
{
Console.WriteLine("Name is available");
}

Best Practices
- Use DefaultAzureCredential — Supports multiple auth methods automatically
- Enable managed identity — For secure access to other Azure resources
- Configure SSO — Enable Entra ID SSO for enterprise security
- Tag resources — Use tags for cost tracking and organization
- Check provisioning state — Wait for
Succeededbefore using instance - Use appropriate region — Choose region closest to your compute
- Monitor with Azure — Use Azure Monitor for resource health
Error Handling
using Azure;
try
{
ArmOperation<WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource> operation = await instances
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-wandb", data);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
Console.WriteLine("Instance already exists or name conflict");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 400)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Invalid configuration: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Azure error: {ex.Status} - {ex.Message}");
}
Integration with W&B SDK
After creating the Azure resource, use the W&B Python SDK for experiment tracking:
# Install: pip install wandb
import wandb
# Login with your W&B API key from the Azure-deployed instance
wandb.login(host="https://my-company-wandb.wandb.ai")
# Initialize a run
run = wandb.init(project="my-ml-project")
# Log metrics
wandb.log({"accuracy": 0.95, "loss": 0.05})
# Finish run
run.finish()
