Terraform Azure & Python

shiva.gopalakrishnan · February 7, 2023, 7:45pm

I am new to terraform
I am trying to manage my Azure resources using terraform

I want to use python
I see this example

hashicorp/terraform-cdk/blob/main/examples/python/azure/main.py

from constructs import Construct
from cdktf import App, TerraformStack, TerraformOutput, Token
from imports.azurerm.provider import AzurermProvider
from imports.azurerm.resource_group import ResourceGroup
from imports.azurerm.virtual_network import VirtualNetwork


class MyStack(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope: Construct, ns: str):
        super().__init__(scope, ns)

        # define resources here
        loca = "West Europe"
        add_space = ["10.12.0.0/27"]
        rg_name = "example-rg"
        tag = {
            "ENV": "Dev",
            "PROJECT": "AZ_TF"
        }

This file has been truncated. show original

However, I am stuck on where I can find and install the python libraries mentioned in this example

from imports.azurerm.provider import AzurermProvider
from imports.azurerm.resource_group import ResourceGroup
from imports.azurerm.virtual_network import VirtualNetwork

Hi @shiva.gopalakrishnan

Those are generated using cdktf get (based on what’s specified in the cdktf.json config).

This docs page explains this and also explains pre-built providers, which you also could use: Providers - CDK for Terraform | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer

There is another way to import the providers, I prefer using Poetry to manage dependencies so my cdktf.json does not have any providers, the list is empty, in my pyproject.toml I have this:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.10"
cdktf = "^0.16"
cdktf-cdktf-provider-azuread = "^7"
cdktf-cdktf-provider-azurerm = "^7"
cdktf-cdktf-provider-helm = "^6"
cdktf-cdktf-provider-kubernetes = "^6"
cdktf-cdktf-provider-random = "^7"
cdktf-cdktf-provider-time = "^6"

and to import the modules I do this, for example:

from cdktf import AzurermBackend, Fn, TerraformStack, TerraformVariable, TerraformOutput
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_azuread.provider import AzureadProvider
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_azurerm.data_azurerm_kubernetes_cluster import DataAzurermKubernetesCluster
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_azurerm.provider import AzurermProvider
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_helm.provider import HelmProvider, HelmProviderKubernetes, HelmProviderKubernetesExec
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_kubernetes.provider import KubernetesProvider, KubernetesProviderExec
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.provider import RandomProvider
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_time.provider import TimeProvider
from constructs import Construct
