Cloud Adoption Framework landing zones for Terraform - Starter template

Creating your environment

When creating a new environment with landing zone, you will customize and deploy the levels from the level 0 up to level 4. It is important to respect that order to deploy the enterprise configuration and hierarchy as per the following guidance.

This means configuring the different variables for:

  • Launchpad (remote state management, security, bastion host, Azure DevOps environment, and DevOps agents, GitHub or Terraform Cloud)
  • Foundations
  • Networking (hub network, Virtual WAN, Application Gateway, etc.)
  • Any application landing zone (data and analytics, Azure Kubernetes Services, etc.)

In order to create those customized configuration environment, you can leverage:

  • the examples present in this repository,
  • the on the CAF landing zone main repo
  • discuss with peers on Gitter

General getting started

0. Use this template to create your own configuration repository

You can either click "Use this template" at the root of this GitHub repository, or just import this repository into your favorite git technology. Once setup, clone the content locally on your laptop and open it with Visual Studio Code. You can see a full list of prerequisites here. You can also use GitHub Codespaces as your development environment.

1. Clone the public landing zones

First step is to get the landing zones logic in the same work space, so let's clone the environment locally:

git clone --branch 2107.1 https://github.com/Azure/caf-terraform-landingzones.git /tf/caf/landingzones
# Or refresh an existing clone
cd /tf/caf/landingzones
git checkout 2107.1
git pull

Note that if you want to be able to edit the code and submit back a pull request to the community, you can also fork it in your own GitHub environment and clone it from there.

2. Login the rover to Azure

Authenticate to your Azure environment using the following command:

rover login -t <tenant_name> -s <subscription_id>

Rover will echo back the subscription selected by default for your environment. If this is not the right subscription, modify it using the following command:

az account set -s <subscription_name_OR_GUID>

Picking your environment

Once you have completed the preliminary steps above, you can start reviewing the configurations, we recommend you start your first deployment with the demo section.

example environment description
demo demo environment without RBAC, diagnostics and pipelines
sandpit initial enterprise environment, with diagnostics and simple pipelines (optional)
non-prod WIP
prod WIP

Multiple engineers in the same subscription

If you want to have multiple users in the same subscription. In order to manage different working environment, we use the -env <name_of_environment> to create multiple environments in the same subscription.

It will allow you to:

  • store the Terraform state into dedicated containers.
  • allow only the user that created the environment to access the state.
  • tag the deployment with the environment name.

At anytime on a given subscription you can use the following command to see the different environments deployed:

rover landingzone list -level level0
