Pipeline: Correct one Compute virtual machine with low utilization

Correct one 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 Compute virtual machines and then either send a notification or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from the correct_compute_virtual_machines_with_low_utilization pipeline.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run azure_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_compute_virtual_machine_with_low_utilization \
--arg 'title=<string>' \
--arg 'id=<string>' \
--arg 'resource_group=<string>' \
--arg 'subscription_id=<string>' \
--arg 'vm_name=<string>' \
--arg 'current_type=<string>' \
--arg 'suggested_type=<string>' \
--arg 'region=<string>' \
--arg 'conn=<connection.azure>'

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
pipeline = azure_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_compute_virtual_machine_with_low_utilization
args = {
title = <string>
id = <string>
resource_group = <string>
subscription_id = <string>
vm_name = <string>
current_type = <string>
suggested_type = <string>
region = <string>
conn = <connection.azure>
}
}
