FAQPage Schema
How do I import existing Azure resources into Terraform?▼

Import existing Azure resources into Terraform using az CLI for manual discovery or experimental Terraform Search for automated discovery. This Skill eliminates manual configuration and refactors raw resources into AVM modules for management.

Can I bulk import Azure infrastructure into Terraform without manual configuration?▼

Yes, bulk resource import is supported to bring a large number of existing Azure resources into Terraform with minimal manual effort, replacing the need to manually define and import each resource individually.

Does this Terraform import process work with the azurerm provider?▼

Yes, the process requires the azurerm provider to validate and manage Azure resources. It integrates with Terraform MCP tools to perform provider validation and search for applicable modules during the import workflow.

What is the best way to refactor imported Terraform resources into AVM modules?▼

The best way to refactor imported Terraform resources is to follow the provided post-import guidelines, which convert raw imported Azure resources into AVM modules to improve maintainability and align with standard infrastructure as code practices.

When should I use manual az CLI discovery versus Terraform Search for importing?▼

Use manual az CLI discovery for reliable, hands-on resource identification, and use the experimental Terraform Search for automated discovery when you need to quickly find and import existing Azure infrastructure at scale.
