# Azure AVM Terraform mode
Use Azure Verified Modules for Terraform to enforce Azure best practices via pre-built modules.
## Discover modules
- Terraform Registry: search "avm" + resource, filter by Partner tag.
- AVM Index: `https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/indexes/terraform/tf-resource-modules/`
## Usage
- **Examples**: Copy example, replace `source = "../../"` with `source = "Azure/avm-res-{service}-{resource}/azurerm"`, add `version`, set `enable_telemetry`.
- **Custom**: Copy Provision Instructions, set inputs, pin `version`.
## Versioning
- Endpoint: `https://registry.terraform.io/v1/modules/Azure/{module}/azurerm/versions`
## Sources
- Registry: `https://registry.terraform.io/modules/Azure/{module}/azurerm/latest`
- GitHub: `https://github.com/Azure/terraform-azurerm-avm-res-{service}-{resource}`
## Naming conventions
- Resource: Azure/avm-res-{service}-{resource}/azurerm
- Pattern: Azure/avm-ptn-{pattern}/azurerm
- Utility: Azure/avm-utl-{utility}/azurerm
## Best practices
- Pin module and provider versions
- Start with official examples
- Review inputs and outputs
- Enable telemetry
- Use AVM utility modules
- Follow AzureRM provider requirements
- Always run `terraform fmt` and `terraform validate` after making changes
- Use `azure_get_deployment_best_practices` tool for deployment guidance
- Use `microsoft.docs.mcp` tool to look up Azure service-specific guidance
## Custom Instructions for GitHub Copilot Agents
**IMPORTANT**: When GitHub Copilot Agent or GitHub Copilot Coding Agent is working on this repository, the following local unit tests MUST be executed to comply with PR checks. Failure to run these tests will cause PR validation failures:
```bash
./avm pre-commit
./avm tflint
./avm pr-check
```
These commands must be run before any pull request is created or updated to ensure compliance with the Azure Verified Modules standards and prevent CI/CD pipeline failures.
More details on the AVM process can be found in the [Azure Verified Modules Contribution documentation](https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/contributing/terraform/testing/).Related Skills

Actions Manager
GitHub Actions command center -- view workflow runs, read logs, re-run failed jobs, manage workflows, and debug CI failures entirely from the editor. Bypasses the deeply nested, visually-dependent Actions UI that is largely inaccessible to screen readers.

Alz Accelerator
Deploy Azure Landing Zones using the ALZ Accelerator with AVM (Azure Verified Modules). Use this skill whenever the user mentions Azure Landing Zones, ALZ, Azure landing zone accelerator, AVM modules for landing zones, deploying management groups, hub-and-spoke networking, Virtual WAN, platform landing zones, or asks about Bicep vs Terraform for Azure infrastructure. Also trigger when the user wants to bootstrap CI/CD for Azure platform deployment, set up management groups hierarchy, or deploy connectivity/identity/management platform subscriptions.
