Great video. Really appreciate. It wuld be great, if this can be turned into a function module, so we can just call the module

You are trying to bend Bicep to match Terraform. For example we have tight controls where a resource group must preexist and we limit deployments to specific resource groups (no way a specific deployment pipeline would get full subscription access). So all the extra subscription stuff is less safe and unneeded. Also you do not need to put parameters into a bicep file (its why you have distinct bicep parameter files which can target different environments).

Thanks Mark!

My comment may have been deleted, so I'll repost. I don't think you're right about the .terraform.lock.hcl file. This should definitely be included into source control. The `.terraform` folder itself should be ignored. Here is the relevant blurb from terraform documentation: "Terraform automatically creates or updates the dependency lock file each time you run the terraform init command. You should include this file in your version control repository so that you can discuss potential changes to your external dependencies via code review, just as you would discuss potential changes to your configuration itself."

Hello Mark, just came here to tell you about Azure Verified Modules. Could you please throw some light on how do i am gonna use these in my main landing zones for deployment. I am clueless about these. Please make videos !

Can kou make a video on terraformer azure tool

If it's privileged, you DO want to setup a scheduled just-in-time group membership for the users in the list. If the role isn't privileged, you can let them always keep the role. This makes sure admins assume privileged roles for short periods only when they need them

Thanks for the review and tips, really appreciate it. Will look to refactor based on the encapsulation :)

Thanks! Will buy your book right away.

Hey Mark, great video. I have a question if you don't mind. Around 1:13:00 you mention using providers in both the root and child/reusable modules. I thought this was against Hashicorp advice. Could you explain a bit further what you meant here please?

Hey I am big fan of this YT channel. Being a Az TF engineer it helps me a lot. I wanted to ask could you please make some videos in 2025 about how to architect your Landing zone setup. Do we need to use CAF Terraform Levels.

Hey Mark, it was great to be at HashiConf with you! The line to Mark's book signing was way long. You were a star this year!

I totally agree with keeping the code as simple and readable as possible. In my experience, classic developers tend to write less readable code due to their habit to write dry code with other languages. Your video is a good starting point for a discussion between dev and ops in a devops team, where generally there are more dev than ops.

Please provide the URL of the PR.

Thank you for your content!

🤣 That hallway track setting was definitely bigger than what I expected. You nailed the humor which is missing in these conference talks.

Hello Mark Can you please provide your blog link other than medium

Dude, really love how you walk through the problem and explain it from a terraform POV. Love it!

Hi Mark, you asked about the pre-flight validation in Bicep. It is a feature of ARM, not Bicep per se, and what it does is, it simulates a deployment, so it sends your ARM deployment template (authored directly as JSON ARM or transpiled from Bicep DLS) to the ARM engine and does a series of validations like: 'Does that resource type / Azure service exist in the region I selected?', 'Do I have sufficient quota (CPU cores or similar) for deploying the resources I declared?', 'Are the resource names unique in the given scope?' or 'Will this deployment be stopped by some Azure Policy assignment?', etc. Something that requires context of the 'target environment' that might be difficult to embed as set of input validation rules. Also, preflight and what-if are two separate things.

I follow your terraform videos regularly. How can i buy this book? I am from India?

Thank you for the book!

Hello Azure Terraformer I hope you are well. I visited your RUclips Channel. Your content is Excellent. But your Channel is not growing, Because your Content title and Description are not SEO-friendly and do not have Enough Rank tags. This is why there is no Content Coming to the top of RUclips. As a result, your video SEO Score is very low, according to VidiQ, (your channel's video's SEO score is 23.3/ out of 100, which should be 80+). If you want, I can make it 80+, which will help your channel grow faster. If you SEO your videos Properly then the Channel Progress will be very Fast & Subscribers and Views will Increase. If you want I can solve problems and help you rank your videos Better. If you are Interested Please Let me know. Best Regards, AL-AMIN (RUclips Video SEO Expert)

As soon as I implemented the multi-environment part, my (dev & prod) pipeline prints "var.azure_credentials" and then just keeps going without making any progress. Why could this be? The credentials seem right.

Watching this makes me realize that you can always contribute no matter at what level you find yourself in. How can I join this community?

Firefly does this well.

Brother can you do a video on how we can bring over a hand built kubernetes cluster into the kuberntes provider. I have lost all the yaml files. And need to replicate what’s currently active.

As always, quality content and a real world, I have not seen this sort terraform videos anywhere on youtube. The explanation great, also it's really a good idea, that you pick the real world stuff and throw same here, which is an excellent way of teaching. That's why I have subscribed. Keep up the good quality work and thank you soo much for this wonderful video. Looking forward for more..

Thanks for this video. I literally have to do this at work next week and was wondering what the approach might be. A bit tedious that the only option is reimport though. Would it b worth running a plan to see how bad the situation is on the latest version before incrementally upgrading from like 2.x to 3.x ? My project has like 150ish resources, mostly function apps.

Why wouldn't you use bash..

I just have one question - how do you get client secret and client id? I am having a hard time understanding how can i get these and I am getting the error "Authorization Failed - The client with object id"

I rather not super spam all your videos/shorts with this exact same comment so I will leave it right here. I love the content, it’s crazy how I find it just in the time im introducing myself with terraform, keep the good work, I appreciate it a lot.

Your suggestions up to 1:05 in the video helped clear things up for me. Wish the app was more descriptive with the options available. Thanks!

Hi❤

This is the best tutorial I have seen about the subject. Can you please update the URL to the source code or post it in the comments? I get a 404 when I try it. Thanks

Here is to many more of those 5Ks 🎉

Excellent work! I've been looking for a way to do exactly this!! Are you open to contributions to your repos?

Happy to congratulate and be the first member to comment 😊

I bought your Terraform textbook and I must confess that you did an awesome job. I just started reading it and I like how you explained and broke down the networking concept (vpc, subnet, and IP address). Pls, I would appreciate it if you could do a video explaining the "null" and empty "string/list/map" variables. What is the difference between the below variables? Thank you!! (Ref: Page 43 of your textbook) variable "totally_optional_field" { type = string description = "Yes, No or Maybe" default = null } variable "empty_string" { type = string description = "Empty string" default = " " }

lol XD thanks for the april fools! <3

Helped me so much! I’m a UX designer and the UX of this Microsoft flow leaves something to be desired! I would love to have a meeting with their higher ups and explain all the ways that Microsoft could improve its UX… you’d think they don’t even have UX on their team of the red tape is a mile thick to make anything easy.

thanks u r awesome

It’s important to mention that you don’t have to have a room per application. He’s just using this as an example so if you are a client you don’t need 45,000 subscriptions for every app. So please stop asking Microsoft for quota increases in regards to this.

Great walkthrough, very concise and smooth. I had a small issue with admin consent link for the enterprise application. Had to replace a word "common" with a tenant ID to check out.

This is the best way to learn and teach. Thank you so much for this refactoring video, which is invaluable and great contribution and really shows your intent to help others. Keep going and you got me subscribed!!👏

Hi Mark could you add that to your azure-terraformer repo?

Random question thats been bugging me, is it ok to setup a module resource wrapper just for the simple purpose of reducing duplicate code when creating 3 env's? prd, uat, dev, etc..
