States

States can be defined as yaml definitions and captured in files with extension SLS
Example: my_resource_group_state.sls

# Resource Group
moff-idem-rg-01:
  azure.resource_management.resource_groups.present:
  - resource_group_name: moff-idem-rg-01
  - parameters:
      location: centralus
      tags: {}

SLS State file can exist anywhere in the file system, and they can be accessed by their relative location in the file system.
Example: /home/demouser/states/my_resource_group_state.sls

If we wanted to execute the State SLS:

idem state <file_path>/<file name>.sls

In this example:

idem state ~/states/my_resource_group_state.sls

The following SLS use cases in this section, showcase how to use the available idem describe states to work with Azure Resources.
