Automating Microsoft Fabric resource management with Terraform

Gnana Sai krishna 80

Is it possible to use Terraform to create and manage multiple Microsoft Fabric resources such as workspaces and lakehouses? Can we automate this process using Azure DevOps pipelines and Terraform?

Hi @Gnana Sai Krishna

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

While Terraform does not have a dedicated provider for Microsoft Fabric, many Fabric resources such as workspaces or lakehouses are built on top of Azure services, which can be managed using the azurerm provider.

Also, you may need to define Microsoft Fabric resources (e.g., workspaces, lakehouses) in Terraform configuration files (.tf files)

If lakehouses or other Fabric-specific resources are not directly supported by the azurerm provider, you may need to use Azure REST APIs or PowerShell/CLI scripts in conjunction with Terraform to manage them.

Feel free to post if you have any further questions, happy to help in finding root cause and defining troubleshooting steps. If this answer helped, please accept the answer :-)

Hi @Gnana Sai krishna

There is no official terraform provider yet, but I actually made my own:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/ChristopherNagl/microsoftfabric/0.5.1.
A workspace and lakehouse resource is already implemented. Feel free to try it out!

Hello Gnana Sai krishna,

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

While Terraform does not have a dedicated provider for Microsoft Fabric, many Fabric resources (like workspaces and lakehouses) are built on top of Azure services, which can be managed using the azurerm provider.

Also, you may need to define Microsoft Fabric resources (e.g., workspaces, lakehouses) in Terraform configuration files (.tf files)

If Fabric-specific resources you using that are not directly supported by the azurerm provider, you may need to use Azure REST APIs or PowerShell/CLI scripts in conjunction with Terraform to manage them.

I have also found a useful link while learning myself with the same process, I hope this can also help you explore more - https://murggu.medium.com/deploying-microsoft-fabric-azure-capacity-using-terraform-8dfcbab16f64
