    Use this data source to access information about an existing Policy Set Definition.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

const example = azure.policy.getPolicySetDefinition({
    displayName: "Policy Set Definition Example",
});
export const id = example.then(example => example.id);

    import pulumi
import pulumi_azure as azure

example = azure.policy.get_policy_set_definition(display_name="Policy Set Definition Example")
pulumi.export("id", example.id)

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v6/go/azure/policy"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		example, err := policy.LookupPolicySetDefinition(ctx, &policy.LookupPolicySetDefinitionArgs{
			DisplayName: pulumi.StringRef("Policy Set Definition Example"),
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		ctx.Export("id", example.Id)
		return nil
	})
}

    Using getPolicySetDefinition

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.
