TenantLess: a disposable Azure estate for testing readers
TenantLess generates realistic-looking Azure estates and serves them over ARM-compatible HTTP, giving software that reads Azure a test environment without a real tenant.
- For
- Builders of Azure scanners, governance and FinOps tools
- Worth noticing
- The published v1.5.0 demo uses seed 42 to reproduce an estate with 50 subscriptions, 828 resource groups and 4,960 resources.
Field notes
The demo starts from a profile and seed, generates a tenant-like estate, then exposes it through an ARM-compatible HTTP server; a built-in browser console lets users inspect it as a scanner would. In the displayed v1.5.0 run, the page reports 1,238 violations and says seed 42 reproduces the same estate each time. The project distinguishes this read-path test fixture from cloud emulators aimed at testing deployments.
