az-get

Returns a property value of a resource passing additional params as needed.

Usage

az-get <resource> <property> [additional params]

Example

id=$(az-get image id --name my-image-name --resource-group my-resource-group-name)

# allows for deeply nested properties
agent=$(az-get vm osProfile.linuxConfiguration.provisionVmAgent --name vm-name --resource-group my-group)

az-group

Returns a list of group names resulting from az group list. By default it will list all groups. All passed params will be searched for in the names of the groups using an or (||).

Usage

az-group [search strings]

Calling az-group without parameters is idential to az group list --query '[].name' --output tsv.

Calling it with params will search for the substring(s) in the names of the groups.

Example

# deletes all groups with the substring of deleteme *OR* killme
az-group deleteme killme | xargs --max-args 1 --no-run-if-empty az group delete --yes --name

Notes: --no-run-if-empty is a GNU extensions and thus doesn't work on a Mac.
