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.
Note
You do not need to register to this resource provider to deploy Azure resources in Terraform.
