Usage Example

# Configure the Microsoft Azure Provider
provider "azurerm" {
  # We recommend pinning to the specific version of the Azure Provider you're using
  # since new versions are released frequently
  version = "=2.20.0"

  features {}

  # More information on the authentication methods supported by
  # the AzureRM Provider can be found here:
  # http://terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/index.html

  # subscription_id = "..."
  # client_id       = "..."
  # client_secret   = "..."
  # tenant_id       = "..."
}

# Create a resource group
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "production-resources"
  location = "West US"
}

# Create a virtual network in the production-resources resource group
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "test" {
  name                = "production-network"
  resource_group_name = "${azurerm_resource_group.example.name}"
  location            = "${azurerm_resource_group.example.location}"
  address_space       = ["10.0.0.0/16"]
}

Further usage documentation is available on the Terraform website.

Developer Requirements

• Terraform version 0.12.x +
• Go version 1.14.x (to build the provider plugin)

On Windows

If you're on Windows you'll also need:

• Git Bash for Windows
• Make for Windows

For GNU32 Make, make sure its bin path is added to PATH environment variable.*

For Git Bash for Windows, at the step of "Adjusting your PATH environment", please choose "Use Git and optional Unix tools from Windows Command Prompt".*

Or install via Chocolatey (Git Bash for Windows must be installed per steps above)

choco install make golang terraform -y
refreshenv

You must run Developing the Provider commands in bash because sh scrips are invoked as part of these.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.13+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

First clone the repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm

Once inside the provider directory, you can run make tools to install the dependent tooling required to compile the provider.

At this point you can compile the provider by running make build, which will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-azurerm
...

You can also cross-compile if necessary:

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 make build

In order to run the Unit Tests for the provider, you can run:

$ make test

The majority of tests in the provider are Acceptance Tests - which provisions real resources in Azure. It's possible to run the entire acceptance test suite by running make testacc - however it's likely you'll want to run a subset, which you can do using a prefix, by running:

make acctests SERVICE='resource' TESTARGS='-run=TestAccAzureRMResourceGroup' TESTTIMEOUT='60m'

The following Environment Variables must be set in your shell prior to running acceptance tests:

• ARM_CLIENT_ID
• ARM_CLIENT_SECRET
• ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
• ARM_TENANT_ID
• ARM_ENVIRONMENT
• ARM_METADATA_HOST
• ARM_TEST_LOCATION
• ARM_TEST_LOCATION_ALT
• ARM_TEST_LOCATION_ALT2

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources in Azure which often cost money to run.

Developer: Scaffolding the Website Documentation

You can scaffold the documentation for a Data Source by running:

$ make scaffold-website BRAND_NAME="Resource Group" RESOURCE_NAME="azurerm_resource_group" RESOURCE_TYPE="data"

You can scaffold the documentation for a Resource by running:

$ make scaffold-website BRAND_NAME="Resource Group" RESOURCE_NAME="azurerm_resource_group" RESOURCE_TYPE="resource" RESOURCE_ID="/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/group1"
