terraform-azurerm-network

Create a basic network in Azure

This Terraform module deploys a Virtual Network in Azure with a subnet or a set of subnets passed in as input parameters.

The module does not create nor expose a security group. You could use https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-vnet to assign network security group to the subnets.

Notice on Upgrade to V5.x

In v5.0.0, we would make var.use_for_each a required variable so the users must set the value explicitly. For whom are maintaining the existing infrastructure that was created with count should use false, for those who are creating a new stack, we encourage them to use true.

V5.0.0 is a major version upgrade. Extreme caution must be taken during the upgrade to avoid resource replacement and downtime by accident.

Running the terraform plan first to inspect the plan is strongly advised.

Notice on Upgrade to V4.x

We've added a CI pipeline for this module to speed up our code review and to enforce a high code quality standard, if you want to contribute by submitting a pull request, please read Pre-Commit & Pr-Check & Test section, or your pull request might be rejected by CI pipeline.

A pull request will be reviewed when it has passed Pre Pull Request Check in the pipeline, and will be merged when it has passed the acceptance tests. Once the ci Pipeline failed, please read the pipeline's output, thanks for your cooperation.

V4.0.0 is a major version upgrade. Extreme caution must be taken during the upgrade to avoid resource replacement and downtime by accident.

Running the terraform plan first to inspect the plan is strongly advised.

Usage

provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "my-resources"
  location = "West Europe"
}

module "network" {
  source              = "Azure/network/azurerm"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  address_spaces      = ["10.0.0.0/16", "10.2.0.0/16"]
  subnet_prefixes     = ["10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.2.0/24", "10.0.3.0/24"]
  subnet_names        = ["subnet1", "subnet2", "subnet3"]

  subnet_service_endpoints = {
    "subnet1" : ["Microsoft.Sql"],
    "subnet2" : ["Microsoft.Sql"],
    "subnet3" : ["Microsoft.Sql"]
  }
  use_for_each = true
  tags = {
    environment = "dev"
    costcenter  = "it"
  }

  depends_on = [azurerm_resource_group.example]
}

Notice to contributor

Thanks for your contribution! This module was created before Terraform introduce for_each, and according to the document:

If your instances are almost identical, count is appropriate. If some of their arguments need distinct values that can't be directly derived from an integer, it's safer to use for_each.

This module contains resources with count meta-argument, but if we change count to for_each directly, it would require heavily manually state move operations with extremely caution, or the users who are maintaining existing infrastructure would face potential breaking change.

This module replicated a new azurerm_subnet which used for_each, and we provide a new toggle variable named use_for_each, this toggle is a switcher between count set and for_each set. Now user can set var.use_for_each to true to use for_each, and users who're maintaining existing resources could keep this toggle false to avoid potential breaking change. If you'd like to make changes to subnet resource, make sure that you've change both resource blocks. Thanks for your cooperation.

Configurations

• Configure Terraform for Azure

We assumed that you have setup service principal's credentials in your environment variables like below:

export ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<azure_subscription_id>"
export ARM_TENANT_ID="<azure_subscription_tenant_id>"
export ARM_CLIENT_ID="<service_principal_appid>"
export ARM_CLIENT_SECRET="<service_principal_password>"

On Windows Powershell:

$env:ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<azure_subscription_id>"
$env:ARM_TENANT_ID="<azure_subscription_tenant_id>"
$env:ARM_CLIENT_ID="<service_principal_appid>"
$env:ARM_CLIENT_SECRET="<service_principal_password>"

We provide a docker image to run the pre-commit checks and tests for you: mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest

To run the pre-commit task, we can run the following command:

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src -w /src mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest make pre-commit

On Windows Powershell:

$ docker run --rm -v ${pwd}:/src -w /src mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest make pre-commit

In pre-commit task, we will:

1. Run terraform fmt -recursive command for your Terraform code.
2. Run terrafmt fmt -f command for markdown files and go code files to ensure that the Terraform code embedded in these files are well formatted.
3. Run go mod tidy and go mod vendor for test folder to ensure that all the dependencies have been synced.
4. Run gofmt for all go code files.
5. Run gofumpt for all go code files.
6. Run terraform-docs on README.md file, then run markdown-table-formatter to format markdown tables in README.md.

Then we can run the pr-check task to check whether our code meets our pipeline's requirement(We strongly recommend you run the following command before you commit):

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src -w /src -e TFLINT_CONFIG=.tflint_alt.hcl mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest make pr-check

On Windows Powershell:

$ docker run --rm -v ${pwd}:/src -w /src -e TFLINT_CONFIG=.tflint_alt.hcl mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest make pr-check

To run the e2e-test, we can run the following command:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src -w /src -e ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID -e ARM_TENANT_ID -e ARM_CLIENT_ID -e ARM_CLIENT_SECRET mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest make e2e-test

On Windows Powershell:

docker run --rm -v ${pwd}:/src -w /src -e ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID -e ARM_TENANT_ID -e ARM_CLIENT_ID -e ARM_CLIENT_SECRET mcr.microsoft.com/azterraform:latest make e2e-test
