This repository is the official HashiCorp Terraform provider for Microsoft Azure (azurerm). It enables declarative management of Azure infrastructure—resources, data sources, and services—through Terraform configurations. The provider is written in Go and uses the Terraform Plugin SDK and Plugin Framework to implement CRUD operations, state migrations, custom polling for asynchronous operations, and extensive input validation. Its architecture follows a modular service registration pattern: each Azure service (e.g., compute, network, storage, appservice) is self-contained within `internal/services/<service>/`, with its own client construction, resource definitions, validation functions, and acceptance tests. Key entry points include `main.go` for provider initialization, `internal/provider/provider.go` for resource registration, and `internal/services/*/registration.go` for service wiring. Data flows from Terraform configuration through the provider's SDK layer to Azure REST APIs via the `go-azure-sdk` library. The codebase is large (43k+ files) but well-organized, with extensive test coverage and tooling for documentation linting, schema API compatibility checks, and PR guide suggestions. It is actively maintained with frequent releases and a large community (5k+ stars, 5k+ forks).
