If you ever need to create any Resources in Azure, please talk to a SysAdmin first. They will help you/create for you Resource Groups and resources compliant with our guides.
- If you need to create a Resource Group in Azure, or are curious on how we are structuring our tags, read HowTos-AzureTags.docx
Summary of the document above
As of now, all Azure Resource Groups needs mandatory tags to be present when created:
- Owner: First Name and Last Name of the group owner (as seen in AD)
- Description: Short description of the group
- Environment: Production, Development or Staging
- CreatedBy: First Name and Last Name of who created the group (as seen in AD)
After created, some tags will be appended to the resource groups for easier management:
- CreatedDate: Automatically populates the date it was created
- AzDevOpsProjectName: Update this with Azure DevOps Project Name tied to the resource group, if any
- ZendeskTicketID: Update this with Zendesk Ticket ID tied to the resource group, if any
Keep in mind that, for a Resource Group to be created in Azure, it needs all mandatory tags with its proper values. If not, the portal will deny the group creation with the error "Denied by policy".
