The given code is a JSON or ARM template expression (Azure Resource Manager template). It evaluates certain conditions and returns specific values based on these conditions. Here's a step-by-step explanation of what the code does:

1. Parameters Used:

  • parameters('resourceEnvironment'): Refers to a parameter named resourceEnvironment, likely passed to the template.
  • parameters('rzLocations'): Refers to a parameter named rzLocations, which seems to be a collection of locations (e.g., region names).
  • parameters('prodlogAnalytics'): Refers to a parameter named prodlogAnalytics, which is the value to return if the condition is true.
  • parameters('nonprodlogAnalytics'): Refers to a parameter named nonprodlogAnalytics, which is the value to return if the condition is false.

2. Field/Subscription Tags:

  • field('tags.opEnvironment'): This accesses the value of the tag opEnvironment on a resource.
  • subscription().tags['managementRestriction']: This accesses the tag managementRestriction at the subscription level.

3. Logic Breakdown:

The logic of the expression is handled by the if function along with or, contains, toUpper, and toLower. Here's what each part does:

  • contains(parameters('resourceEnvironment'), toUpper(field('tags.opEnvironment'))):

    • Checks if the uppercase version of the resource tag opEnvironment is found in the resourceEnvironment parameter (assumed to be a list or string).
  • contains(parameters('rzLocations'), toLower(subscription().tags['managementRestriction'])):

    • Checks if the lowercase version of the subscription tag managementRestriction is found in the rzLocations parameter (assumed to be a list or string).
  • or( ... ): Combines these two conditions with a logical OR, meaning the overall condition is true if either of the two checks above is true.

4. Return Values:

  • If the condition in or(...) is true, it returns parameters('prodlogAnalytics').
  • If the condition in or(...) is false, it returns parameters('nonprodlogAnalytics').

In Summary:

The code evaluates two conditions:

  1. Whether the opEnvironment tag (converted to uppercase) of the resource exists in the resourceEnvironment parameter.
  2. Whether the managementRestriction tag (converted to lowercase) at the subscription level exists in the rzLocations parameter.

It then:

  • Returns the prodlogAnalytics parameter if either condition is true.
  • Returns the nonprodlogAnalytics parameter if neither condition is true.
