Azure Export for Terraform (aztfexport) is a CLI tool that imports existing Azure resources into Terraform state and generates the corresponding Terraform configuration. It supports both the AzureRM and AzAPI providers and aims for zero-diff terraform plans after export.

Use cases

• import existing azure resources into terraform
• generate terraform config from current azure infrastructure
• adopt terraform for pre-existing azure resources
• export azure resource group to terraform state
• migrate manually created azure resources to iac
• run terraform plan with no diff after importing azure resources

When to choose

• you have existing Azure resources not yet managed by Terraform
• you want automated state import plus HCL generation for AzureRM or AzAPI providers
• you need a cross-platform CLI with package manager installs

When to avoid

• you need 100% reproducible infrastructure from the generated configuration
• you want elegant generated code with modules, for_each, or implicit dependencies
• you are exporting non-Azure cloud resources
