rg-cleanup

A tool that bulk removes stale resource groups in an Azure subscription.

Usage

Prerequisites

• Service principal credentials or User Assigned Managed Identity (CLIENT_ID)
• An Azure subscription

export AAD_CLIENT_ID=...
export SUBSCRIPTION_ID=...
export AAD_CLIENT_SECRET=...
export TENANT_ID=...
make
./bin/rg-cleanup

Use --identity to use UAMI

export AAD_CLIENT_ID="<CLIENT_ID>"
export SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>"
make
./bin/rg-cleanup --identity

By default, this tool deletes stale resource groups that are older than three days. If you want to customize that, you could add a flag --ttl=... when running. For example, if you want to delete stale resource groups that are older than one day, add --ttl=1d.

For regex support use --regex "<string-regex-pattern>". This flag will look into fully matching regex with the resource group name, meaning a partial regex pattern will not match: RG Name kubetest-123 if we have regex pattern kube this will not match. A matching pattern will look like ^kube.+$, kube.+$, ^kube.+, etc.

A deployment bicep file for a logic app running rg-cleanup is available under templates: The following example deployment command assumes:

1. You already set up a user-managed identity (UAMI) and a resource group.
2. You have available the rg-cleanup image in a registry. The resources will get deployed to the same resource group as the UAMI.

az deployment group create -g "<rg-name>" -f ./templates/rg-cleaner-logic-app-uami.bicep --parameter \
    uami="<UAMI Name>" \ # Required
    uami_client_id="<UAMI Client ID>" \ # Required
    image="<rg-cleanup image url>" \ # Required
    dryrun="(false|true)" \ # Optional (default: true)
    ttl="<ttl>" \ # Optional
    regex="<regex expression patter>" # Optional
# Other optional parameters are available, please refer to the deployment bicep file.
