Uploading Governance Tags back to Azure

Article Summary

In this part I would like to take the csv file produced by the script that downloaded the tags and which I have then modified in the csv file and apply the changes back to Azure.

In the script at the bottom I will point to the function that will update Azure. It will take the csv path and the resource group to update. It will then go through the resources in the spreadsheet and compare the tags, adding missing ones and updating those that changed. If any tags on the resource have changed then it will use Set-AzResource to update the tags.

Full Script



function UpdateResourceGovernanceTags([string] $csvPath, [string] $resourceGroup)
{    

    $csv = Import-Csv $csvPath

    #Download Resources in Resource Group
    Write-Host 'Downloading resources from Azure'
    $azResources = Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup
    $azResourceDictionary = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary``2[System.String,System.Object]"
    foreach($azResource in $azResources){
        $azResourceDictionary.Add($azResource.Id, $azResource)
    }

    #Process the CSV File
    Write-Host 'Processing CSV file' $csvPath
    foreach($item in $csv)
    {
        $resourceTagsChanged = $false

        #Write-Host $item

        #Read Items from CVS Line
        $id = $item.Id
        $resourceGroupName = $item.ResourceGroup
        $name = $item.Name
        $type = $item.Type
        $environment = $item.Tag_Environment
        $costCentre = $item.Tag_costCentre
        $managedBy = $item.Tag_managedBy
        $documentationLink = $item.Tag_documentationLink

        if($type -eq 'Microsoft.Web/customApis'){
            Write-Host 'Skipping resource' $name 'because its a custom api - they seem to not like the Set-AzResource'
            continue
        }
