Pipeline: Correct Compute virtual machines with low utilization

Correct Compute virtual machines with low utilization

Overview

Azure Compute virtual machines with low utilization should be reviewed for either down-sizing or stopping if no longer required in order to reduce running costs.

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of Compute virtual machines and then either send notifications or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action upon the collection.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from either:

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run azure_thrifty.pipeline.correct_compute_virtual_machines_with_low_utilization \
  --arg 'items=<list(object({
      title           = string
      id              = string
      vm_name         = string
      current_type    = string
      suggested_type  = string
      region          = string
      resource_group  = string
      subscription_id = string
      conn            = string
    }))>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = azure_thrifty.pipeline.correct_compute_virtual_machines_with_low_utilization  
  args = {
    items = <list(object({
      title           = string
      id              = string
      vm_name         = string
      current_type    = string
      suggested_type  = string
      region          = string
      resource_group  = string
      subscription_id = string
      conn            = string
    }))>
  }
}
