feat(azure): choose the cloud with PROWLER_AZURE_REGION - #13329
Prowler App can't scan an Azure Government subscription today: the connection test fails with AzureInvalidProviderIdError even with valid credentials. Azure credentials (client ID, secret, tenant ID) don't say which cloud they belong to, and the app never passes a cloud to the SDK, so it always signs in to commercial Azure. AWS doesn't have this problem because the partition comes from the caller ARN.
This mirrors how PROWLER_AWS_PARTITION works for AWS GovCloud: a deployment declares its cloud once, through the environment, instead of per provider. This matters most for deployments that live inside a sovereign cloud and can only reach that cloud's endpoints.
Description
New PROWLER_AZURE_REGION environment variable (AzureCloud, AzureChinaCloud or AzureUSGovernment). get_azure_region() in lib/regions/regions.py resolves the cloud: an explicit region wins, then the variable, then AzureCloud.
Used in AzureProvider.__init__, test_connection, and the two static-credential fallbacks that hard-coded AzureCloud.
--azure-region now defaults to None, so the variable also applies to the CLI. Passing the flag still wins.
An unsupported value fails the connection (AzureArgumentTypeValidationError) instead of falling back to commercial.
No change when the variable is unset.
Docs: new section in use-non-default-cloud.mdx. Changelog fragment added.
No new dependencies.
Steps to review
Unit tests:
uv run pytest tests/providers/azure tests/lib/cli -q
Tested against an Azure Government subscription from a host whose network only reaches Azure Government endpoints, calling AzureProvider.test_connection with service principal credentials and no region argument:
PROWLER_AZURE_REGION
Result
unset
connected=False, ConnectionError (commercial endpoints are unreachable)
AzureUSGovernment
connected=True
Checklist
Community Checklist
This feature/issue is listed in the open issues or roadmap.prowler.com
Azure cloud selection can be configured with PROWLER_AZURE_REGION when no region is provided explicitly. A region supplied directly takes precedence; otherwise, Prowler uses the environment variable or defaults to AzureCloud.
Unsupported cloud values cause the connection to fail rather than silently selecting another cloud.
Documentation
Added guidance for configuring Azure cloud selection, including an Azure Government example and notes for setting the variable on Prowler App API and worker services.
- Read PROWLER_AZURE_REGION when no region is passed to the provider,
the connection test or the static-credential checks
- Keep --azure-region and an explicit region as the higher precedence
- Document the variable and add a changelog fragment

Walkthrough
Azure region selection now uses an explicit region when provided, then PROWLER_AZURE_REGION, and otherwise AzureCloud. Provider initialization, connection testing, and credential validation use the resolved region. Tests and documentation cover this behavior.

Summary
Region resolution and CLI default prowler/providers/azure/lib/regions/regions.py, prowler/providers/azure/lib/arguments/arguments.py, tests/providers/azure/lib/regions/regions_test.py
The region resolver prioritizes an explicit region, then uses the trimmed environment value, and falls back to AzureCloud. The CLI default is now None. Tests cover precedence and fallback.
Provider integration and documentation prowler/providers/azure/azure_provider.py, tests/providers/azure/azure_provider_test.py, docs/user-guide/providers/azure/use-non-default-cloud.mdx, prowler/changelog.d/azure-region-environment-variable.added.md
Provider initialization, connection testing, and credential validation use the resolved region. Tests cover environment selection and unsupported values. The guide and changelog describe the setting.
The Azure guide may mislead GovCloud operators about AWS bootstrap configuration. The documentation issue is bounded and can be corrected before or after merge.

Configure the identity Graph clients for the selected cloud.
When PROWLER_AZURE_REGION selects a sovereign cloud, the domain and user lookups still use the global Graph defaults. These lookups can fail and leave identity fields unknown.
Configure both clients with region_config.graph_scope and a service root based on region_config.graph_host.

Unlike AWS, where the partition comes from the credentials themselves, Azure credentials do not say which cloud they belong to. The variable lets a deployment that lives inside one cloud, such as an air-gapped Azure Government environment, sign in to that cloud by default. In Prowler Local Server and Prowler Private Cloud, set it on the API and worker services to apply it to every Azure provider.

Correct the AWS partition comparison.
Prowler obtains the AWS partition from the caller ARN only after an STS call succeeds. It selects the bootstrap region first. In a restricted GovCloud deployment, credentials alone may not prevent a failed commercial endpoint call. Remove the comparison or explain the bootstrap configuration requirement.
