Agreements from meeting 3rd Jun

• All authentication is deferred to the Azure CLI (and the auth token it maintains), env vars (e.g. ARM_CLIENT_ID) are not used except in the impersonation scenario
• This will be a clean break and a v2 of rover CLI, it will not be backwards compatible, but some migration guide, i.e. mapping old command to new will be written
• The landingzone and launchpad modes will be split into separate top level commands (as it currently is)
• The rover cd command and use of a symphony YAML config is expected to be the main use case going forward
• The rover launchpad and rover landingzone will be kept for people wishing to test locally and personas not doing devops (IT pros etc). The cd, launchpad and landingzone commands will all function on the same code under the hood, where they source their inputs from is all that differs (flags vs config file)

7th June

• Agreed to move the --action flag to be a sub-command of launchpad, landingzone and cd
• Agreed on symmetry between all three commands
• Agreed CD should look for default config file name in current directory
