| 15 | +## Deploy resources to an existing resource group |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +You can deploy Azure resources directly by using Python, or deploy an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) to create Azure resources. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Deploy resources by using Python classes |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The following example creates a storage account by using [StorageManagementClient.storage_accounts.begin_create](/python/api/azure-mgmt-storage/azure.mgmt.storage.v2022_09_01.operations.storageaccountsoperations#azure-mgmt-storage-v2022-09-01-operations-storageaccountsoperations-begin-create). The name for the storage account must be unique across Azure. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +```python |
| 24 | +import os |
| 25 | +import random |
| 26 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 27 | +from azure.mgmt.storage import StorageManagementClient |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 30 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +random_postfix = ''.join(random.choices('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890', k=13)) |
| 33 | +storage_account_name = "demostore" + random_postfix |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +storage_client = StorageManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +storage_account_result = storage_client.storage_accounts.begin_create( |
| 38 | + "exampleGroup", |
| 39 | + storage_account_name, |
| 40 | + { |
| 41 | + "location": "westus", |
| 42 | + "sku": { |
| 43 | + "name": "Standard_LRS" |
| 44 | + } |
| 45 | + } |
| 46 | +) |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### Deploy a template |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +To deploy an ARM template, use [ResourceManagementClient.deployments.begin_create_or_update](/python/api/azure-mgmt-resource/azure.mgmt.resource.resources.v2022_09_01.operations.deploymentsoperations#azure-mgmt-resource-resources-v2022-09-01-operations-deploymentsoperations-begin-create-or-update). The following example deploys a [remote template](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/microsoft.storage/storage-account-create). That template creates a storage account. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```python |
| 54 | +import os |
| 55 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 56 | +from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient |
| 57 | +from azure.mgmt.resource.resources.models import DeploymentMode |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 60 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +resource_group_name = input("Enter the resource group name: ") |
| 65 | +location = input("Enter the location (i.e. centralus): ") |
| 66 | +template_uri = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/master/quickstarts/microsoft.storage/storage-account-create/azuredeploy.json" |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +rg_deployment_result = resource_client.deployments.begin_create_or_update( |
| 69 | + resource_group_name, |
| 70 | + "exampleDeployment", |
| 71 | + { |
| 72 | + "properties": { |
| 73 | + "templateLink": { |
| 74 | + "uri": template_uri |
| 75 | + }, |
| 76 | + "parameters": { |
| 77 | + "location": { |
| 78 | + "value": location |
| 79 | + }, |
| 80 | + }, |
| 81 | + "mode": DeploymentMode.incremental |
| 82 | + } |
| 83 | + } |
| 84 | +) |
| 85 | +``` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### Deploy a resource group and resources |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +You can create a resource group and deploy resources to the group. For more information, see [Create resource group and deploy resources](../templates/deploy-to-subscription.md#resource-groups). |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Deploy resources to multiple subscriptions or resource groups |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +Typically, you deploy all the resources in your template to a single resource group. However, there are scenarios where you want to deploy a set of resources together but place them in different resource groups or subscriptions. For more information, see [Deploy Azure resources to multiple subscriptions or resource groups](../templates/deploy-to-resource-group.md). |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +## Delete resources |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +The following example shows how to delete a storage account. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +```python |
| 100 | +import os |
| 101 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 102 | +from azure.mgmt.storage import StorageManagementClient |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 105 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +storage_client = StorageManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +resource_group_name = "demoGroup" |
| 110 | +storage_account_name = "demostore" |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +storage_account = storage_client.storage_accounts.delete( |
| 113 | + resource_group_name, |
| 114 | + storage_account_name |
| 115 | +) |
| 116 | +``` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +For more information about how Azure Resource Manager orders the deletion of resources, see [Azure Resource Manager resource group deletion](delete-resource-group.md). |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +## Move resources |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +The following example shows how to move a storage account from one resource group to another resource group. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +```python |
| 125 | +import os |
| 126 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 127 | +from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 130 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +src_resource_group_name = "sourceGroup" |
| 135 | +dest_resource_group_name = "destinationGroup" |
| 136 | +storage_account_name = "demostore" |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +dest_resource_group = resource_client.resource_groups.get(dest_resource_group_name) |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +storage_account = resource_client.resources.get( |
| 141 | + src_resource_group_name, "Microsoft.Storage", "", "storageAccounts", storage_account_name, "2022-09-01" |
| 142 | +) |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +move_result = resource_client.resources.begin_move_resources( |
| 145 | + src_resource_group_name, |
| 146 | + { |
| 147 | + "resources": [storage_account.id], |
| 148 | + "targetResourceGroup": dest_resource_group.id, |
| 149 | + } |
| 150 | +) |
| 151 | +``` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +For more information, see [Move resources to new resource group or subscription](move-resource-group-and-subscription.md). |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +## Lock resources |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +Locking prevents other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources, such as Azure subscription, resource group, or resource. |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +The following example locks a web site so it can't be deleted. |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +```python |
| 162 | +import os |
| 163 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 164 | +from azure.mgmt.resource import ManagementLockClient |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 167 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +lock_client = ManagementLockClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +lock_result = lock_client.management_locks.create_or_update_at_resource_level( |
| 172 | + "exampleGroup", |
| 173 | + "Microsoft.Web", |
| 174 | + "", |
| 175 | + "sites", |
| 176 | + "examplesite", |
| 177 | + "lockSite", |
| 178 | + { |
| 179 | + "level": "CanNotDelete" |
| 180 | + } |
| 181 | +) |
| 182 | +``` |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +The following script gets all locks for a storage account: |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +```python |
| 187 | +import os |
| 188 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 189 | +from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient |
| 190 | +from azure.mgmt.resource.locks import ManagementLockClient |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 193 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 196 | +lock_client = ManagementLockClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +resource_group_name = "demoGroup" |
| 199 | +storage_account_name = "demostore" |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +resource = resource_client.resources.get_by_id( |
| 202 | + f"/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/resourceGroups/{resource_group_name}/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/{storage_account_name}", |
| 203 | + "2021-04-01" |
| 204 | +) |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +locks = lock_client.management_locks.list_at_resource_level( |
| 207 | + resource_group_name, |
| 208 | + "Microsoft.Storage", |
| 209 | + "", |
| 210 | + "storageAccounts", |
| 211 | + storage_account_name |
| 212 | +) |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +for lock in locks: |
| 215 | + print(f"Lock Name: {lock.name}, Lock Level: {lock.level}") |
| 216 | +``` |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +The following script deletes a lock of a web site: |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +```python |
| 221 | +import os |
| 222 | +from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential |
| 223 | +from azure.mgmt.resource import ManagementLockClient |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +credential = AzureCliCredential() |
| 226 | +subscription_id = os.environ["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"] |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +lock_client = ManagementLockClient(credential, subscription_id) |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +lock_client.management_locks.delete_at_resource_level( |
| 231 | + "exampleGroup", |
| 232 | + "Microsoft.Web", |
| 233 | + "", |
| 234 | + "sites", |
| 235 | + "examplesite", |
| 236 | + "lockSite" |
| 237 | +) |
| 238 | +``` |
