Azure Terraform Generator

Azure API -> Terraform Resources

Overview

This is a work in progress initiative to create a CLI tool to generate Terraform definitions for Azure resources. The idea for this came about when teams I've worked with had existing Azure resources but were lacking terraform definitions, subsequently slowing down migrations & time to production.

Usage

Simply clone the repository & install or install with go get to expose the cli:

git clone https://github.com/snimmagadda1/azure-terraform-generator.git
go install

As a prerequisite to using the azure apis, credentials must be provided. Currently a file-based credential method is supported. As this project is built out, more authorization methods will be supported.

The simplest way to obtain this file is throughthe creation of an Azure service principal. Either download the credentials of an existing service principal to a file my.auth in the root directory or create a new service principal as follows:

az ad sp create-for-rbac --sdk-auth > my.auth

Next set an environment variable AZURE_AUTH_LOCATION to the location of my.auth:

export AZURE_AUTH_LOCATION=$HOME/my.auth
