Core Workflows

1. Create Weights & Biases Instance

csharp
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

csharp
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

csharp
// 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)

csharp
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

csharp
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

csharp
WeightsAndBiasesInstanceResource instance = await resourceGroup
    .GetWeightsAndBiasesInstanceAsync("my-wandb-instance");

await instance.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
Console.WriteLine("Instance deleted");

7. Check Resource Name Availability

csharp
// 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");
}

Marketplace Offer Details

For Azure Marketplace integration:

Property Value
Publisher ID wandb
Offer ID wandb-pay-as-you-go
Plan ID wandb-payg (Pay As You Go)

Best Practices

  1. Use DefaultAzureCredential — Supports multiple auth methods automatically
  2. Enable managed identity — For secure access to other Azure resources
  3. Configure SSO — Enable Entra ID SSO for enterprise security
  4. Tag resources — Use tags for cost tracking and organization
  5. Check provisioning state — Wait for Succeeded before using instance
  6. Use appropriate region — Choose region closest to your compute
  7. Monitor with Azure — Use Azure Monitor for resource health

Error Handling

csharp
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:

python
# 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()
