Pipeline: Correct Compute virtual machine scale sets if unused

Correct correct 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 either:

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run azure_thrifty.pipeline.correct_virtual_machine_scale_sets_if_unused \
--arg 'items=<list(object({
id = string
title = string
name = 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_virtual_machine_scale_sets_if_unused
args = {
items = <list(object({
id = string
title = string
name = string
resource_group = string
subscription_id = string
conn = string
}))>
}
}
