Powershell Loop with two variables - azure

Question

I am looking for a way to pipe many (100 paired variables) items into this powershell script. Each single command has two variables ResourceGroup and AccountName. I can build an array, but not sure how to get the script to execute the paired variables.
EDIT: Would there be any way to import these variables from CSV , or pull them directly.
$rgName = "<resource-group>"
$accountName = "<storage-account>"
$location = "<location>"
# Create a storage account with MinimumTlsVersion set to TLS 1.1.
New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName `
-AccountName $accountName `
-Location $location `
-SkuName Standard_GRS `
-MinimumTlsVersion TLS1_1
# Read the MinimumTlsVersion property.
(Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $accountName).MinimumTlsVersion
# Update the MinimumTlsVersion version for the storage account to TLS 1.2.
Set-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName `
-AccountName $accountName `
-MinimumTlsVersion TLS1_2
# Read the MinimumTlsVersion property.
(Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $accountName).MinimumTlsVersion

If you want to group variables together, you could use an array of System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject, then iterate this array and run your code:
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[PSCustomObject[]]
$StorageAccountData
)
foreach ($obj in $StorageAccountData) {
$rgName = $obj.ResourceGroupName
$accountName = $obj.AccountName
$location = $obj.Location
# Create a storage account with MinimumTlsVersion set to TLS 1.1.
New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName `
-AccountName $accountName `
-Location $location `
-SkuName Standard_GRS `
-MinimumTlsVersion TLS1_1
# Read the MinimumTlsVersion property.
(Get-AzStorageAccount `
-ResourceGroupName $rgName `
-Name $accountName).MinimumTlsVersion
# Update the MinimumTlsVersion version for the storage account to TLS 1.2.
Set-AzStorageAccount `
-ResourceGroupName $rgName `
-AccountName $accountName `
-MinimumTlsVersion TLS1_2
# Read the MinimumTlsVersion property.
(Get-AzStorageAccount `
-ResourceGroupName $rgName `
-Name $accountName).MinimumTlsVersion
}
Then you could run this script like so:
PS C:\Users\user> $storageAccountData = #(
>> [PSCustomObject]#{
>> ResourceGroupName = 'storageRG'
>> AccountName = 'storage1'
>> Location = 'australiaeast'
>> }
>> [PSCustomObject]#{
>> ResourceGroupName = 'storageRG'
>> AccountName = 'storage2'
>> Location = 'australiaeast'
>> }
>> )
PS C:\Users\user> script.ps1 -StorageAccountData $storageAccountData
If you want to pipe this into the script, you can create a function and use ValueFromPipeline:
function MyFunction {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[Parameter(
Mandatory = $true,
ValueFromPipeline = $true
)]
[PSCustomObject[]]
$StorageAccountData
)
# rest of your code
}
Then pass the array of PSCustomObject down then pipeline to this function with $storageAccountData | MyFunction. Make sure to dot source the script to load the function into your preferred scope before calling the function.
Update
If you wanted to read from a CSV file(e.g. storage-accounts.csv):
AccountName,ResourceGroupName,Location
storage1,storageRG,australiaeast
storage2,storageRG,australiaeast
You just need use Import-Csv:
$storageAccountData = Import-Csv -Path .\storage-accounts.csv
foreach ($obj in $storageAccountData) {
# rest of your code
}
