Azure Terraform CDK Constructs

Welcome to the Azure Terraform CDK Constructs project! This library offers a comprehensive suite of L2 Constructs designed to simplify and enhance the experience of building and managing Azure infrastructure with the Cloud Development Kit for Terraform (CDKTF).

Benefits of Using L2 Constructs

With L2 Constructs, you get the following benefits:

• Abstraction: Higher-level abstractions over Azure resources make your infrastructure code more declarative and easier to understand.
• Reusability: Encapsulate common patterns and best practices in your infrastructure code, promoting reusability across different projects and teams.
• Rapid Development: Accelerate your cloud development process with pre-built constructs that have been tested for common use cases, allowing you to focus on your unique application logic.
• Direct IDE Integration: Access detailed documentation directly within your Integrated Development Environment (IDE), streamlining your development workflow:

Quick Example

This is a quick example that showcases the simplicity and power of L2 Constructs. We'll create a storage account, add a container to it, and then upload a blob—all with a few lines of intuitive, object-oriented code:

// Create a new instance of a storage account as an object
const sa = new azcdk.azure_storageaccount.Account(stack, "storageaccount", {
 name: "testStorageAccount",
 location: "eastus",
});

// Add a container to the storage account by calling a method on the storage account object
const container = sa.addContainer("testcontainer");

// Add a blob to the container by calling a method on the container object
// The path "../../../test.txt" points to the source file to be uploaded as a blob
container.addBlob("testblob.txt", "../../../test.txt");

Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the process of using the Azure L2 Constructs to define and provision infrastructure on Azure.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine. These will be used to install the CDK for Terraform and Azure provider packages.

Installation

First, install the CDK for Terraform CLI globally using npm:

npm install -g cdktf-cli

Next, initialize a new CDK for Terraform project with TypeScript template:

cdktf init --template="TypeScript" --local

Install the AzureRM provider for CDKTF:

npm install @cdktf/provider-azurerm

Then, add the Microsoft Terraform CDK constructs for Azure:

npm install @micrsoft/terraform-cdk-constructs

Example 1: Creating a Storage Account

Now let's create a simple Azure storage account. The following TypeScript snippet defines a storage account resource using the CDKTF:

// Import necessary modules and classes
import * as azcdk from "@microsoft/terraform-cdk-constructs";
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { App, TerraformStack } from 'cdktf';
import { AzurermProvider } from "@cdktf/provider-azurerm/lib/provider";

// Define a new Terraform stack
class AzureAppInfra extends TerraformStack {
 constructor(scope: Construct, name: string) {
 super(scope, name);

 // Initialize Azure provider
 new AzurermProvider(this, "azureFeature", { features: {} });

 // Create a new Azure storage account with the specified name and location
 new azcdk.azure_storageaccount.Account(this, "storageaccount", {
 name: "test42348808",
 location: "eastus",
 });
 }
}

// Initialize the CDK app and synthesize Terraform configurations
const app = new App();
new AzureAppInfra(app, 'cdk');
app.synth();

After defining your infrastructure, generate the Terraform configuration files:

cdktf synth

Finally, deploy your infrastructure to Azure:

cdktf deploy

Supported Languages

Currently, our CDK L2 constructs are available in the following languages:

Stay tuned for updates as we work to expand support to other popular programming languages!
