Infra Automation by Terraform Dynamic Block for List(Objects) Usecase — Part7

  • Reading time:3 mins read

In Terraform, dynamic blocks help automate the generation of multiple instances of a block for a variable list of configurations. In this example, a dynamic block is used to define Azure Security Group rules dynamically based on a list of virtual network rules. The rules are defined in a list of objects, and Terraform creates individual security rules for each item. This approach simplifies the management of infrastructure and ensures consistency. The variables are defined in a variables.tf file, and the configurations are applied using terraform plan and apply.

This discussion demonstrates the use of dynamic blocks in Terraform to create Azure Front Door routing rules. It defines a map of routing rules in the terraform.tfvars file, where each rule includes attributes like accepted protocols, patterns to match, and frontend endpoints. The dynamic block is used to iterate over these routing rules and generate configuration blocks for each rule dynamically. In the case of forwarding rules, another nested dynamic block is used to configure forwarding settings. Finally, the Terraform commands terraform init, terraform plan, and terraform apply are executed to initialize, preview, and apply the configuration to Azure.
