This original project has been archived in favour of the original author's (andyt530) new project for AWS however I am intending on continuing to use this extremely useful tool, although I am not promising updates extremely fast!
The Feb. 2020 release of the 2.0 azurerm provider would require some effort to support - this has not happened yet
az2tf should continue to work albeit with the now legacy azurerm 1.44 provider.
This utility 'Azure to Terraform' (az2tf) reads an Azure Subscription and generates all the required terraform configuration files (.tf) from each of the composite Azure Resource Groups It also imports the terraform state using a
"terraform import ...." command
And finally runs a
"terraform plan ." command
There should hopefully be no subsequent additions or deletions reported by the terraform plan command as all the approriate terraform configuration files will have have automatically been created.
- The tool is written for the bash shell script & Python2 and has been tested on macOS
- Azure cli2 version 2.0.75 or higher needs to be installed and you need a login with at least "Read" priviledges
- terraform version v0.12.16 or higher needs to be installed
- Python version 3.6.1 or higher
- pip install requests
- pip install adal
Running the tool in your local shell (bash) required these steps:
- Unzip or clone this git repo into an empty directory
- login to the Azure cli2 (az login)
- run the tool
To generate the terraform files for a subscription and stop after a "terraform validate":
./az2tf.sh -s <Subscription ID> -v yes
The above will either show :
terraform validate
Success! The configuration is valid.
Or there may be some kind of python error. (as trying to test everyone's Azure combinations in advance isn't possible)
If you happen to find one of these errors please open an issue here and paste in the error and it will get fixed.
Once the validation is ok you can use the tool in anger to not only generate the terraform files (-v yes) but also import the resources and perform a terraform plan (see below)
To generate the terraform files for an entire Azure subscription, import the resourcs and perform a terraform plan:
./az2tf.sh -s <Subscription ID>
If your resources are in Azure US Government:
./az2tf.sh -c AzureUSGovernment -s <Subscription ID>
To include Azure Subscription Policies and RBAC controls and assignments:
./az2tf.sh [-c <Cloud Name>] -s <Subscription ID> -p yes
To generate the terraform files for a specific Resource Group in a subscription:
./az2tf.sh [-c <Cloud Name>] -s <Subscription ID> -g <Resource Group>
To include the secrets from a Key Vault in terraform files (secrets will be in plain text):
./az2tf.sh [-c <Cloud Name>] -s <Subscription ID> -g <Resource Group> -x yes
To filter the terraform resource type: (eg: just availability sets)
./az2tf.sh [-c <Cloud Name>] -s <Subscription ID> -g <Resource Group> -r azurerm_availability_set
To filter the terraform resource type: (eg: just availability sets) and fast forward - ie. build up resources one after another.:
./az2tf.sh -s <Subscription ID> -g <Resource Group> -r azurerm_rsource_group
./az2tf.sh -s <Subscription ID> -g <Resource Group> -r azurerm_availability_set -f yes
./az2tf.sh -s <Subscription ID> -g <Resource Group> -r azurerm_public_ip -f yes
To use the fast forward option correctly you'll need a good understanding of terraform resource dependancies to ensure you avoid any depenacy errors.
Be patient - lots of output is given as az2tf:
- Loops for each provider through your resource groups &
- Creates the requited *.tf configuration files in the "generated" directory
- Performs the necessary 'terraform import' commands
- And finally runs a 'terraform plan'

Within the runbook directory you'll file a file az2tf-runbook.py
You can paste this code into an Azure python2 runbook, your automation account must have an Azure ARM Runas credential setup.
When runs it will leave you subscriptions terraform and terraform import caommands in the runbook output window
Unfortunately this only works for small subscriptions as Azure currently has a limit on how much output it will show in a runbook output window. If your output window is blank az2tf has probably worked (see the All Logs tab) but the amount of output has exceeded Azure's limit.
To workaround this you can download the output aftert he job has run with powershell see https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/automation/automation-runbook-output-and-messages#runbook-output.
If you find any output in the Exceptions tab please open an issue here and report it.
It can take a lot of time to loop around everything in large subscriptions, in particular the importing of the resources.
Can fail if your login/SPN doesn't have acccess to the KeyVault
These attributes always get reported in terraform plan set to false by default - may need to manually override
- delete_data_disks_on_termination: "" => "false"
- delete_os_disk_on_termination: "" => "false"
Can fail if your login/SPN doesn't have acccess to the KeyVault used for encryption. Can also fail if resource locks are in place
If solutions have '[' & ']' in their names they will be ignored.
No support for MS peering (don't have one to test!)
terraform doesn't support the "All" permission anymore but you may still have vaults using that permission.
if no bgp settings specified for VNet Gateway, terraform plan will report
a benign change
see issue in github
~ update in-place
Terraform will perform the following actions:
~ azurerm_virtual_network_gateway.rg-$RGNAME__vgw-$VGWNAME
bgp_settings.#: "" => <computed>
