Overview of the Azure Terraform Resource Provider
The Azure Terraform Resource Provider (Public Preview) enables Azure Terraform workflows across various Azure workflows. Currently, only an export workflow is supported, but planned additions to the resource provider accelerate deployment workflows in Terraform on Azure. Please note that you do not need to register to this resource provider to deploy Azure resources in Terraform.
Registration
Register the provider with az provider register -n Microsoft.AzureTerraform.
Export
Export functionality is based on the preexisting Azure Export for Terraform tool. These capabilities are exposed through the resource provider. To export resources, choose your tool of choice:

Follow the REST API reference
Export Limitations
As the export experience is based on Azure Export for Terraform, its limitations are nearly identical to the binary. Please refer to the limitations section of the binary documentation.
