---
## Module Cross-Referencing
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFFR1
When building Resource or Pattern modules, module owners **MAY** cross-reference other modules. However:
- Modules **MUST** be referenced using HashiCorp Terraform registry reference to a pinned version
- Example: `source = "Azure/xxx/azurerm"` with `version = "1.2.3"`
- Modules **MUST NOT** use git references (e.g., `git::https://xxx.yyy/xxx.git` or `github.com/xxx/yyy`)
- Modules **MUST NOT** contain references to non-AVM modules
---
## Azure Provider Requirements
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFFR3
Authors **MUST** only use the following Azure providers:
| Provider | Min Version | Max Version |
|----------|-------------|-------------|
| azapi | >= 2.0 | < 3.0 |
| azurerm | >= 4.0 | < 5.0 |
**Requirements:**
- Authors **MAY** select either Azurerm, Azapi, or both providers
- **MUST** use `required_providers` block to enforce provider versions
- **SHOULD** use pessimistic version constraint operator (`~>`)
**Example:**
```hcl
terraform {
required_providers {
azurerm = {
source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
version = "~> 4.0"
}
azapi = {
source = "Azure/azapi"
version = "~> 2.0"
}
}
}
```
---
## Code Style Standards
### Lower snake_casing
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR4
**MUST** use lower snake_casing for:
- Locals
- Variables
- Outputs
- Resources (symbolic names)
- Modules (symbolic names)
Example: `snake_casing_example`
### Resource & Data Source Ordering
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR6
- Resources that are depended on **SHOULD** come first
- Resources with dependencies **SHOULD** be defined close to each other
### Count & for_each Usage
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR7
- Use `count` for conditional resource creation
- **MUST** use `map(xxx)` or `set(xxx)` as resource's `for_each` collection
- The map's key or set's element **MUST** be static literals
**Example:**
```hcl
resource "azurerm_subnet" "pair" {
for_each = var.subnet_map # map(string)
name = "${each.value}-pair"
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
virtual_network_name = azurerm_virtual_network.example.name
address_prefixes = ["10.0.1.0/24"]
}
```
### Resource & Data Block Internal Ordering
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR8
**Order within resource/data blocks:**
1. **Meta-arguments (top)**:
- `provider`
- `count`
- `for_each`
2. **Arguments/blocks (middle, alphabetical)**:
- Required arguments
- Optional arguments
- Required nested blocks
- Optional nested blocks
3. **Meta-arguments (bottom)**:
- `depends_on`
- `lifecycle` (with sub-order: `create_before_destroy`, `ignore_changes`, `prevent_destroy`)
Separate sections with blank lines.
### Module Block Ordering
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR9
**Order within module blocks:**
1. **Top meta-arguments**:
- `source`
- `version`
- `count`
- `for_each`
2. **Arguments (alphabetical)**:
- Required arguments
- Optional arguments
3. **Bottom meta-arguments**:
- `depends_on`
- `providers`
### Lifecycle ignore_changes Syntax
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR10
The `ignore_changes` attribute **MUST NOT** be enclosed in double quotes.
**Good:**
```hcl
lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [tags]
}
```
**Bad:**
```hcl
lifecycle {
ignore_changes = ["tags"]
}
```
### Null Comparison for Conditional Creation
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR11
For parameters requiring conditional resource creation, wrap with `object` type to avoid "known after apply" issues during plan stage.
**Recommended:**
```hcl
variable "security_group" {
type = object({
id = string
})
default = null
}
```
### Dynamic Blocks for Optional Nested Objects
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR12
Nested blocks under conditions **MUST** use this pattern:
```hcl
dynamic "identity" {
for_each = <condition> ? [<some_item>] : []
content {
# block content
}
}
```
### Default Values with coalesce/try
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR13
**Good:**
```hcl
coalesce(var.new_network_security_group_name, "${var.subnet_name}-nsg")
```
**Bad:**
```hcl
var.new_network_security_group_name == null ? "${var.subnet_name}-nsg" : var.new_network_security_group_name
```
### Provider Declarations in Modules
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR27
- `provider` **MUST NOT** be declared in modules (except for `configuration_aliases`)
- `provider` blocks in modules **MUST** only use `alias`
- Provider configurations **SHOULD** be passed in by module users
---
## Variable Requirements
### Not Allowed Variables
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR14
Module owners **MUST NOT** add variables like `enabled` or `module_depends_on` to control entire module operation. Boolean feature toggles for specific resources are acceptable.
### Variable Definition Order
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR15
Variables **SHOULD** follow this order:
1. All required fields (alphabetical)
2. All optional fields (alphabetical)
### Variable Naming Rules
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR16
- Follow [HashiCorp's naming rules](https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/best-practices/naming.html)
- Feature switches **SHOULD** use positive statements: `xxx_enabled` instead of `xxx_disabled`
### Variables with Descriptions
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR17
- `description` **SHOULD** precisely describe the parameter's purpose and expected data type
- Target audience is module users, not developers
- For `object` types, use HEREDOC format
### Variables with Types
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR18
- `type` **MUST** be defined for every variable
- `type` **SHOULD** be as precise as possible
- `any` **MAY** only be used with adequate reasons
- Use `bool` instead of `string`/`number` for true/false values
- Use concrete `object` instead of `map(any)`
### Sensitive Data Variables
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR19
If a variable's type is `object` and contains sensitive fields, the entire variable **SHOULD** be `sensitive = true`, or extract sensitive fields into separate variables.
### Non-Nullable Defaults for Collections
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR20
Nullable **SHOULD** be set to `false` for collection values (sets, maps, lists) when using them in loops. For scalar values, null may have semantic meaning.
### Discourage Nullability by Default
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR21
`nullable = true` **MUST** be avoided unless there's a specific semantic need for null values.
### Avoid sensitive = false
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR22
`sensitive = false` **MUST** be avoided (this is the default).
### Sensitive Default Value Conditions
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR23
A default value **MUST NOT** be set for sensitive inputs (e.g., default passwords).
### Handling Deprecated Variables
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR24

---
## Output Requirements
### Additional Terraform Outputs
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFFR2
Authors **SHOULD NOT** output entire resource objects as these may contain sensitive data and the schema can change with API or provider versions.
**Best Practices:**
- Output *computed* attributes of resources as discrete outputs (anti-corruption layer pattern)
- **SHOULD NOT** output values that are already inputs (except `name`)
- Use `sensitive = true` for sensitive attributes
- For resources deployed with `for_each`, output computed attributes in a map structure
**Examples:**
```hcl
# Single resource computed attribute
output "foo" {
description = "MyResource foo attribute"
value = azurerm_resource_myresource.foo
}
# for_each resources
output "childresource_foos" {
description = "MyResource children's foo attributes"
value = {
for key, value in azurerm_resource_mychildresource : key => value.foo
}
}
# Sensitive output
output "bar" {
description = "MyResource bar attribute"
value = azurerm_resource_myresource.bar
sensitive = true
}
```
### Sensitive Data Outputs
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR29
Outputs containing confidential data **MUST** be declared with `sensitive = true`.
### Handling Deprecated Outputs
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR30

Expressions in `locals` blocks **MUST** be arranged alphabetically.
### Precise Local Types
**Severity:** SHOULD | **Requirement:** TFNFR33
Use precise types (e.g., `number` for age, not `string`).
---
## Terraform Configuration Requirements
### Terraform Version Requirements
**Severity:** MUST | **Requirement:** TFNFR25
**`terraform.tf` requirements:**
- **MUST** contain only one `terraform` block
- First line **MUST** define `required_version`
- **MUST** include minimum version constraint
- **MUST** include maximum major version constraint
- **SHOULD** use `~> #.#` or `>= #.#.#, < #.#.#` format
**Example:**
```hcl
terraform {
required_version = "~> 1.6"
required_providers {
azurerm = {
source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
version = "~> 4.0"
}
}
}
```
