Azure Verified Modules (AVM) Requirements This guide covers the mandatory requirements for Azure Verified Modules certification. These requirements ensure consistency, quality, and maintainability across Azure Terraform modules. References: Azure Verified Modules AVM Module Specifications Table of Contents Module Cross-Referencing Azure Provider Requirements Code Style Standards Variable Requirements Output Requirements Local Values Standards Terraform Configuration Requirements Testing Requirements Documentation Requirements Breaking Changes & Feature Management Contribution Standards Compliance Checklist --- 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 requiredproviders block to enforce provider versions SHOULD use pessimistic version constraint operator (~>) Example: --- Code Style Standards Lower snakecasing Severity: MUST Requirement: TFNFR4 MUST use lower snakecasing for: Locals Variables Outputs Resources (symbolic names) Modules (symbolic names) Example: snakecasingexample 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 & foreach Usage Severity: MUST Requirement: TFNFR7 Use count for conditional resou …
