Get-AzureRmPolicyAlias

Reference

Module:: AzureRM.Resources

Get-AzureRmPolicyAlias retrieves and outputs Azure provider resource types that have aliases defined and match the given parameter values. If no parameters are provided, all provider resource types that contain an alias will be output. The -ListAvailable switch modifies this behavior by listing all matching resource types including those without aliases.

Warning

The AzureRM PowerShell module has been officially deprecated as of February 29, 2024. Users are advised to migrate from AzureRM to the Az PowerShell module to ensure continued support and updates.

Although the AzureRM module may still function, it's no longer maintained or supported, placing any continued use at the user's discretion and risk. Please refer to our migration resources for guidance on transitioning to the Az module.

Syntax

Get-AzureRmPolicyAlias
   [-NamespaceMatch <String>]
   [-ResourceTypeMatch <String>]
   [-AliasMatch <String>]
   [-PathMatch <String>]
   [-ApiVersionMatch <String>]

Description

The Get-AzureRmPolicyAlias cmdlet gets a listing of policy aliases. Policy aliases are used by Azure Policy to refer to resource type properties. Parameters are provided that limit items in the listing by matching various properties of the resource type or its aliases. A given match value matches if the target string contains it using case insensitive comparison.
