Delete resources older than X days

[FlorentClarret]

Hello and thanks for this useful tool!

My goal is to drop resources that are older than X days, following this part of the docs.

I tested with VirtualMachine and it does not work. I'm not familiar with this repo but I think that's because TimeCreated is not mapped here:

azure-nuke/resources/virtual-machine.go

Lines 79 to 88 in d952ce2

	resources = append(resources, &VirtualMachine{
	BaseResource: &BaseResource{
	Region: g.Location,
	ResourceGroup: &opts.ResourceGroup,
	SubscriptionID: &opts.SubscriptionID,
	},
	client: client,
	Name: g.Name,
	Tags: g.Tags,
	})

I had a quick look at the azure SDK and I'm not even sure they expose this field, I only saw it for the Disk resource.

Would it be possible to add this feature? I'd be happy to help if needed!

Correct. It would need to be added to here

azure-nuke/resources/virtual-machine.go

Lines 29 to 35 in d952ce2

	type VirtualMachine struct {
	*BaseResource `property:",inline"`
	client compute.VirtualMachinesClient
	Name *string
	Tags map[string]*string
	}

then mapped in your link. I'll take a look. Azure is pretty junky to work with, especially with their sdks. 🤦

@FlorentClarret glad you like the tool. Looks like the current SDK doesn't expose it but there's a newer SDK I need to move to, perhaps it supports that field. I'll take a look and see what I can do. For now I'll leave it open.

@FlorentClarret I figured out how to get CreationDate on VirtualMachine, I'll get it in an upcoming release.
