Hi All, <br />
<br />
I have these thousands of tag i need to apply to vms running in both azure and aws: below is an example of tag - values:<br />
<br />
BusinessUnit: TestBusinessunit<br />
Owner: KellyG<br />
CostCentreCode: kellycostcentre<br />
Name: KellyTestTagName<br />
ApplicationID: KellyApplicationID<br />
Functionality: functionalitytag<br />
Environment: envronmenttag<br />
Schedule: 10/10/2010<br />
Monitoring: yes<br />
Geography: Geographytag<br />
ExternallyManaged: Managed by oup<br />
Backups: Backed up to Azure RSV<br />
<br />
the tags will have different values per resource, example owner:kelly, owner: Sandy,etc. <br />
<br />
if tag already exists , we need a log it, etc. <br />
<br />
whats the best way to approach this via powershell script. so far my idea is to store the values in csv then from csv produce into a hash table then create a function to apply the tags. <br />
<br />
please help. just an overview of how to do this will be great. <br />
<br />

CSV Powershell Script for Tags

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
