Azure AVM Terraform mode

Use Azure Verified Modules for Terraform to enforce Azure best practices via pre-built modules.

Discover modules

  • Terraform Registry: search "avm" + resource, filter by Partner tag.
  • AVM Index: https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/indexes/terraform/tf-resource-modules/

Usage

  • Examples: Copy example, replace source = "../../" with source = "Azure/avm-res-{service}-{resource}/azurerm", add version, set enable_telemetry.
  • Custom: Copy Provision Instructions, set inputs, pin version.

Versioning

  • Endpoint: https://registry.terraform.io/v1/modules/Azure/{module}/azurerm/versions

Sources

  • Registry: https://registry.terraform.io/modules/Azure/{module}/azurerm/latest
  • GitHub: https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-avm-res-{service}-{resource}

Naming conventions

  • Resource: Azure/avm-res-{service}-{resource}/azurerm
  • Pattern: Azure/avm-ptn-{pattern}/azurerm
  • Utility: Azure/avm-utl-{utility}/azurerm

Best practices

  • Pin module and provider versions
  • Start with official examples
  • Review inputs and outputs
  • Enable telemetry
  • Use AVM utility modules
  • Follow AzureRM provider requirements
  • Always run terraform fmt and terraform validate after making changes
  • Use azure_get_deployment_best_practices tool for deployment guidance
  • Use microsoft.docs.mcp tool to look up Azure service-specific guidance

Custom Instructions for GitHub Copilot Agents

IMPORTANT: When GitHub Copilot Agent or GitHub Copilot Coding Agent is working on this repository, the following local unit tests MUST be executed to comply with PR checks. Failure to run these tests will cause PR validation failures:

./avm pre-commit
./avm tflint
./avm pr-check

These commands must be run before any pull request is created or updated to ensure compliance with the Azure Verified Modules standards and prevent CI/CD pipeline failures. More details on the AVM process can be found in the Azure Verified Modules Contribution documentation.
