June 2025 - Order from chaos - Importing brownfield Azure apps into Terraform

Come join us and tune in to hear David Gardiner present on "Order from chaos - Importing brownfield Azure applications into Terraform"

Infrastructure as Code is a great thing, but how do you introduce the concept to a legacy application that's probably been created via ClickOps or command line tools?
HashiCorp's Terraform is a popular Infrastructure as Code tool. Using it for greenfield projects is pretty straightforward, but adopting it later on can throw up a few challenges.
Learn how the new 'import' and 'moved' statements can help, and ways to work around their limitations, and where it makes sense to use the Azure Export for Terraform CLI tool.
The end result will be all your infrastructure managed by Terraform, and the ability to roll out changes with confidence.
