from azure.mgmt.resource import SubscriptionClient
from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials

# Replace with your own values
subscription_id = 'your-subscription-id'
tenant_id = 'your-tenant-id'
client_id = 'your-client-id'
client_secret = 'your-client-secret'

# Authenticate with Azure using a service principal
credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(
    client_id=client_id,
    secret=client_secret,
    tenant=tenant_id
)

# Create a SubscriptionClient using the authenticated credentials
subscription_client = SubscriptionClient(credentials)

# Create a new subscription
subscription = subscription_client.subscriptions.create(
    subscription_id,
    {
        'displayName': 'My New Subscription',
        'offerType': 'MS-AZR-0017P',
        'owners': [
            {
                'objectId': 'your-object-id'
            }
        ]
    }
)

print(subscription)

SubscriptionClient uses your client; can be created with the Azure CLI command az ad sp create-for-rbac command, to sign into Azure. Note, that you will need to replace the values for subscription_id, tenant_id, client_id, client_secret, and objectId with your own values. Also, make sure that the service principal you are using has the necessary permissions to create subscriptions.
