## What it is
The official Terraform provider plugin for Azure Resource Manager, enabling declarative management of Azure resources via HashiCorp Terraform. Written in Go, it supports authentication via Azure CLI, Managed Identity, or Service Principal.

## Use cases
- provision azure resources with terraform
- manage azure virtual networks as code
- infrastructure as code for azure resource manager
- automate azure resource group creation
- authenticate terraform to azure with service principal

## When to choose
- you use Terraform to manage Azure infrastructure
- you need declarative, version-controlled Azure resource management
- you want the official, actively maintained Azure provider

## When to avoid
- you target AWS, GCP, or other clouds instead of Azure
- you prefer Azure's own Bicep/ARM templates
- you don't use Terraform Core
