Terraforming Azure 2.
Table of Contents
Continuing from the previous post, here is the next part of the series.
Cost considerations #
Before we start to madly creating resources, let’s take a look at the cost.
In my case I have decided to manage budgeting and cost viewing via Terraform as well. Admittedly, during the process there were a few snags, and I was close to giving it up, but eventually I got to a state with which I and managemed are mutually satisfied.
A little inspiration #
I will be honest, writing a module that handles the consumption reports from scratch was something I started - and got to relatively working state on budgets…on cost views a little less so - but eventually I shamelesly took “inspiration” from this repository. So big thank you for the Gravicore Team! (not related / know the company by the way)
The only change that I did, is ensuring we use up-to-date providers, as the modules seem to be a bit outdated.
Use the modules now #
Right, so now that I have this module not too far from the deploymnent, and configured providers and backend (see previous post), I also added a module to help me with conforming Azure naming conventions:
module "naming" {
source = "Azure/naming/azurerm"
}
What this module does is sufficiently explained here
Variables #
The variables I have created when using the module are as follows:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Azure Subscription IDs
# These variables define the subscription IDs for different
# parts of the BCMG platform architecture
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
variable "platform_con_subscription_id" {

While some has default values, others are set to empty strings. This is because the values will be set by the terraform.tfvars file. (In the repository there is a template that is meant to be copied, filled and renamed to terraform.tfvars.)

- and this one to create the reports and budgets
##? Notable: cost reports must be scheduled at least one day ahead (won't start the same day!)

Without getting lost in the details too much, what we get from this is cost management view for all the subscriptions, similar to this:
(link to these are periodically sent to the relevant teams)…
…and periodic exports…
…stored in a blob storage
We take care of building the storage account (in one of the subscriptions) and the container inside of this, that will contain the exports from all the subscriptions in the scope. We also create periodic - in my case, weekly - reports to show the month-to-date usage and help management keeping an eye on Azure cost vs budget.
The exports of course are more usaefull for the teams interested in details and invoices.
