root-module-integration

To integrate a new Terraform module into the Azure CAF root framework, you follow an automated 8-step process that creates the root aggregator, configures variables and locals, sets up combined_objects for cross-module references, and generates module examples.

In Azure CAF Terraform deployments, the combined_objects configuration manages cross-module dependencies and references. It ensures newly integrated modules can properly discover and interact with existing infrastructure components within the root aggregator.

Yes, you can automatically add Terraform module integration to your CI/CD pipeline. The integration process automatically incorporates the new module into relevant CI/CD workflows and provides commands for mock testing and validation.

The standard workflow for onboarding Terraform modules into a large IaC codebase involves creating a root aggregator, configuring variables and locals, setting up dependency management via combined_objects, generating examples, and integrating CI/CD pipelines to ensure discoverability and testability.

You validate a newly integrated Azure CAF Terraform module by running the provided mock testing and validation commands. The integration process automatically generates these validation steps as part of the CI/CD workflow setup to ensure proper module configuration.
