FAQPage Schema

How do I create a Terraform module for Azure CAF resources?▼

Creating Terraform modules for Azure CAF involves a structured workflow: validating resource schemas with MCP tools, generating directory structures, creating required Terraform files, mapping dependencies, and running mock tests to ensure standards compliance.

What files are needed when building an Azure CAF Terraform module?▼

An Azure CAF Terraform module requires providers.tf, variables.tf, locals.tf, a main resource file, and outputs.tf. These files establish the directory structure, define variables, manage local resolution, and output necessary resource attributes.

How does dependency mapping work for new Azure Terraform modules?▼

Dependency mapping in Azure Terraform modules automates identifying and documenting resource dependencies. This ensures correct relationships between Azure resources are defined and maintained within the CAF module structure.

What is the best way to validate an Azure resource schema before writing Terraform code?▼

Validating an Azure resource schema before writing Terraform code is best done using MCP tools. This ensures resource definitions are accurate and conform to Azure CAF standards before generating directory structures and Terraform files.

How do I test a newly created Azure CAF Terraform module?▼

Testing a newly created Azure CAF Terraform module involves generating example configurations and performing mock testing. After successful tests, integrate the module into the root module to complete the validation workflow.
