In cloud resource management, efficiently locating specific resources can sometimes be a challenge, especially when you have numerous resource groups. In this article, we will explore how to find Azure resource groups using a wildcard approach with Pulumi, a modern infrastructure as code tool.

Understanding the Problem

The core problem is that you want to search for Azure resource groups using a wildcard pattern. The original idea might be expressed in an overly complex way, which could lead to confusion. Here’s a clearer restatement of the problem:

"How can I find Azure resource groups using a wildcard string with Pulumi?"

Original Code

Here is a sample of the code you might be using to get resource groups in Azure:

import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

const resourceGroups = azure.core.getResourceGroups();

This code snippet retrieves all resource groups in Azure, but it does not apply any filtering based on a wildcard string.

How to Implement Wildcard Search with Pulumi

To filter Azure resource groups based on a wildcard string using Pulumi, we can utilize the filter method on the resource groups we retrieve. Here’s a more complete example that incorporates a wildcard search:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

// Replace "your-pattern*" with your actual wildcard search string
const wildcardPattern = "your-pattern*";

// Get all resource groups
const allResourceGroups = azure.core.getResourceGroups();

// Filter resource groups using a wildcard
const filteredResourceGroups = allResourceGroups.then(groups => {
    return groups.names.filter(name => {
        return new RegExp(`^${wildcardPattern.replace('*', '.*')}
