How to deploy a routing configuration for Azure Virtual Network Manager using Terraform.

Question

Terraform's azurerm provider does not currently support Azure Network Manager UDR Management
(Although an issue has been raised for it here)

Using the azapi provider I can create a routing configuration using the code below with attached rule collections and rules (not shown) on Azure but when I look at the configuration on the Azure Portal its deployment status is shown as "Not deployed".

I have looked in the API documentation for the routing configuration but can find no way of fixing this except pressing the deploy button on the Portal.

Can anybody provide me with some guidance. Thank you :)

resource "azapi_resource" "routing_configuration" {
type = "Microsoft.Network/networkManagers/routingConfigurations@2024-05-01"
parent_id = var.manager_id
name = var.config_name
body = {
properties = {
description = "AVNM Routing Configuration"
}
}
}

Hello Andrew Laing

Yes, the azapi provider assists in creating routing configurations in the Network Manager, even if it's not supported in the Terraform azurerm provider.
Refer this document:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.network/networkmanagers/routingconfigurations?pivots=deployment-language-terraform

We need to complete one last step before the routing configuration becomes operational, which is deploying the configuration. There isn't a good way to do this with the Terraform azapi provider.

Our choices are limited to:

• Azure Portal -By manually clicking "Deploy" option
• Azure CLI - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/manager?view=azure-cli-latest#az-network-manager-post-commit
• Powershell -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.network/deploy-aznetworkmanagercommit?view=azps-13.4.0

Once the deployment is complete:

In the Azure Portal, the routing config should change from "Not Deployed " to "Deployed"
