Pipeline: Correct one Compute virtual machine scale set if unused

Correct one Virtual Machine Scale Sets if unused

Overview

Virtual Machine Scale Sets with no instances attached still cost money and should be deleted.

This pipeline detects unused Virtual Machine Scale Sets and then either sends a notification or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action.

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

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run azure_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_virtual_machine_scale_set_if_unused \
--arg 'title=<string>' \
--arg 'name=<string>' \
--arg 'resource_group=<string>' \
--arg 'subscription_id=<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_virtual_machine_scale_set_if_unused
args = {
title = <string>
name = <string>
resource_group = <string>
subscription_id = <string>
conn = <connection.azure>
}
}
