Populate Azure Resource Group Creator Tags using Event Grid & Azure Functions at scale!

For my new job as Product Owner for Cloud foundation, I need a solution that could add creator name and date time as tags to the resource group, no matter how it was created.
I search the net and found a nice blog post about tagging all resources this using

  • Azure Functions
  • Event Grid Subscription

This enables the function to be triggered on specific events in Azure.
The blog post can be found here
in my case I only want to tag RGs for now, but since we have many resource groups and I wanted it to use as little consumption as possible, I re-wrote it from PowerShell to C#.

The source code is available on my github page
https://github.com/JakobGSvendsen/Az.PopulateTags

It consists of an azure function and arm templates for deploying the event grid subscription (az function template work in progress!)
