Deleting all resources in an Azure Resource Group with age more than x days

问题

I attempted to "expand" creationTime on a resource in a resource group (python api) so I could find it's age and if > max_age_days I would have deleted the resource within the resource group.

But creationTime doesn't seem to be available on resources.

Is there another way to delete resources within a resource group based on their age ?

Creation Date and Created By are probably the most basic requirements of resource management.

Azure stores a createdTime and changedTime property on all resources that you can query by adding the $expand parameter to the URL.

The expand parameter isn't documented in the Resource Groups API docs, but it is documented in the List Resources API docs (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resources/list) and it works the same way.

I don't know offhand how to add this parameter using the Python API, but here is an example of the REST API itself (using the Try It button from the docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resourcegroups/list#code-try-0).

GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/1237f4d2-3dce-4b96-ad95-677f764e7123/resourcegroups?api-version=2019-08-01&%24expand=createdTime

{
  "value": [
    {
      "id": "/subscriptions/1237f4d2-3dce-4b96-ad95-677f764e7123/resourceGroups/test2rg-3-backup",
      "name": "test2rg-3-backup",
      "type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups",
      "location": "eastus",
      "createdTime": "2018-11-12T18:08:38.667582Z",
      "properties": {
        "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "/subscriptions/1237f4d2-3dce-4b96-ad95-677f764e7123/resourceGroups/proddeploy",
      "name": "proddeploy",
      "type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups",
      "location": "eastus",
      "createdTime": "2019-01-10T21:28:48.8057057Z",
      "tags": {
        "a": "b"
      },
      "properties": {
        "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
      }
    },
...

No, azure resource group api doesn't offer createdate or something similar, you need to store that information in tags (when you create the resource) or pull it from azure api (when new resource appears) and store it somewhere externally.
