State Examples

Let’s try some more examples.

Resource Group Create Example

Here’s a simple example of creating a Resource group on Azure.

You can add any tags you want to the list under tags.

create_resource_group:
  azure.resource_management.resource_groups.present:
    - name: test-rg
    - resource_group_name: test-rg
    - location: eastus
    - tags:
        Name: test-idem-cloud-demo
        owner: Tom

Create a text file with the above contents at a location such as ~/rg_test.sls. Then we can use that file to create our Resource Group as we’ve described.

idem state ~/rg_test.sls

Output

--------
      ID: create_resource_group
Function: azure.resource_management.resource_groups.present
  Result: True
 Comment: ("Created azure.resource_management.resource_groups 'test-rg'", "azure.resource_management.resource_groups 'test-rg' has no property need to be updated.")
 Changes:
new:
    ----------
    name:
        test-rg
    resource_id:
        /subscriptions/b8e40357-9bb6-4c41-9b43-a9ba0fd08160/resourceGroups/test-rg
    resource_group_name:
        test-rg
    subscription_id:
        b8e40357-9bb6-4c41-9b43-a9ba0fd08160
    location:
        eastus
    tags:
        ----------
        Name:
            test-idem-cloud-demo
        owner:
            Tom


present: 1 created successfully

If you go look at your Azure console, you’ll see that a new Resource Group named test-rg has been created.

Remove Resource Group

If you want to delete that Resource Group with Idem, you can do it like this:

idem state ~/rg_test.sls --invert

Output:

--------
      ID: create_resource_group
Function: azure.resource_management.resource_groups.absent
  Result: True
 Comment: ("Deleted azure.resource_management.resource_groups 'test-rg'",)
 Changes:
old:
    ----------

    resource_group_name:
        test-rg
    subscription_id:
        b8e40357-9bb6-4c41-9b43-a9ba0fd08160
