Azure v6.21.0 published on Friday, Mar 7, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-azure

    Use this data source to access information about a Policy Definition, both custom and built in. Retrieves Policy Definitions from your current subscription by default.

    Example Usage

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

const example = azure.policy.getPolicyDefintion({
    displayName: "Allowed resource types",
});
export const id = example.then(example => example.id);

    import pulumi
import pulumi_azure as azure

example = azure.policy.get_policy_defintion(display_name="Allowed resource types")
pulumi.export("id", example.id)

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v6/go/azure/policy"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		example, err := policy.GetPolicyDefintion(ctx, &policy.GetPolicyDefintionArgs{
			DisplayName: pulumi.StringRef("Allowed resource types"),
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		ctx.Export("id", example.Id)
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Azure = Pulumi.Azure;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var example = Azure.Policy.GetPolicyDefintion.Invoke(new()
    {
        DisplayName = "Allowed resource types",
    });

    return new Dictionary<string, object?>
    {
        ["id"] = example.Apply(getPolicyDefintionResult => getPolicyDefintionResult.Id),
    };
});

    Using getPolicyDefintion

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getPolicyDefintion(args: GetPolicyDefintionArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetPolicyDefintionResult>
function getPolicyDefintionOutput(args: GetPolicyDefintionOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetPolicyDefintionResult>
    def get_policy_defintion(display_name: Optional[str] = None,
                         management_group_name: Optional[str] = None,
                         name: Optional[str] = None,
                         opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetPolicyDefintionResult
def get_policy_defintion_output(display_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                         management_group_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                         name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                         opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetPolicyDefintionResult]
    func GetPolicyDefintion(ctx *Context, args *GetPolicyDefintionArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*GetPolicyDefintionResult, error)
func GetPolicyDefintionOutput(ctx *Context, args *GetPolicyDefintionOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) GetPolicyDefintionResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named GetPolicyDefintion in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetPolicyDefintion

    public static Task<GetPolicyDefintionResult> InvokeAsync(GetPolicyDefintionArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)

  arguments:
    # arguments dictionary

    The following arguments are supported:

    DisplayName string

    Specifies the display name of the Policy Definition. Conflicts with name.
