Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore) with Terraform

  • Article

This document provides instructions on using Terraform to deploy Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore resources. This involves directly calling the ARM API through Terraform. Full support for Terraform is targetted for the second half of 2024.

Prerequisites

  • Terraform installed on your machine.
  • An Azure subscription.

Terraform Configuration

Create a new '.tf' file in your Terraform project directory. Copy the example code and replace the resource group placeholder values with your own:

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "example-rg"
  location = "East US"
}

resource "azurerm_mongo_cluster" "example" {
  name                   = "example-mc"
  resource_group_name    = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location               = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  administrator_username = "adminTerraform"
  administrator_password = "QAZwsx123"
  shard_count            = "1"
  compute_tier           = "Free"
  high_availability_mode = "Disabled"
  storage_size_in_gb     = "32"
}

For a complete list of parameters, including required and optional arguments, please visit the official Terraform Registry documentation.
