What is it?

The AzureRM provider is a plugin for Terraform, the infrastructure-as-code tool, that maps Terraform resource definitions to Azure Resource Manager APIs. Users declare resources such as resource groups and virtual networks in HCL configuration files, and Terraform calls Azure to create, update, or delete them to match the declared state.

The provider supports several authentication methods, including the Azure CLI, Managed Identity, and Service Principal. Its features block lets users adjust provider behaviour, such as how resources are handled on deletion. Usage documentation is published in the Terraform Registry, and the repository includes example configurations in an examples folder.

The project is written in Go and licensed under MPL-2.0. Contributors can find build and development guides in the contributing directory.
