Decommission Environment
Project Statement
In IT program/project, environment creation and setup is a crucial aspect of development, operationalization, engineering, and release management activities. However, when a project(s) is discontinued or a resource is no longer needed, it is crucial to clean up the supplied resources for that project(s). This task is repetitive in nature and can be time-consuming and costly if done manually.
Solution
To address this problem, automation of cleanup of environments when these environments are no longer required is necessary to maintain release management and engineering hygiene. This ensures that the provisioned resources for a specified program(s)/project(s) are cleaned up efficiently and consistently. The solution requires an Azure account subscription, existing Azure Resource Group(s) created and comprising one or more resources, and an Azure client ID, app ID, client secret Key. By automating this task, IT program(s)/project(s) can be executed successfully, and release management and engineering hygiene can be maintained effectively.
