aztfexport — Export Azure Resources to Terraform

Overview

aztfexport is a Microsoft tool that exports existing Azure resources into Terraform HCL + state. It reverse-engineers live Azure infrastructure into Terraform configurations. Use this for Azure-only workflows or Terraform versions before 1.14's native terraform query.

When to Use

• Export a single Azure resource to Terraform → aztfexport resource
• Export an entire resource group → aztfexport resource-group
• Export resources matching an Azure Resource Graph query → aztfexport query
• Bootstrapping IaC from existing Azure infrastructure

Use terraform-search-import skill instead when: Terraform >= 1.14 with terraform query + bulk import (multi-cloud, not Azure-specific).
