What is this session about?

Many organizations already have infrastructure deployed in Azure but lack Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage it efficiently. This session will guide you through importing existing Azure resources into Terraform and migrating to a fully managed IaC workflow.
In this session, we will cover:

• Understanding Terraform State & Import Process – how Terraform manages existing infrastructure.
• Importing Azure Resources into Terraform – step-by-step guidance on terraform import and best practices.
• Refactoring manually deployed resources – converting existing setups into Terraform modules for better scalability.
• Handling challenges and state management – dealing with orphaned resources, drift detection, and Terraform state locking.
• Migrating from ARM Templates, Bicep, and manual configurations – moving to a declarative and automated Terraform-based approach.
• Real-world case studies – examples from enterprises successfully transitioning to Terraform-based infrastructure management.

By the end of this session, you’ll gain practical knowledge on how to import, manage, and transition your existing Azure resources to Terraform, improving automation, scalability, and efficiency.
