Terraform support for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL

Important

Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL is no longer supported for new projects. Don't use this service for new projects. Instead, use one of these two services:

• Use Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL for a distributed database solution designed for high-scale scenarios with a 99.999% availability service level agreement (SLA), instant autoscale, and automatic failover across multiple regions.

• Use the Elastic Clusters feature of Azure Database For PostgreSQL for sharded PostgreSQL using the open-source Citus extension.

Terraform enables the definition, preview, and deployment of cloud infrastructure. Using Terraform, you create configuration files using HCL syntax. The HCL syntax allows you to specify the cloud provider - such as Azure - and the elements that make up your cloud infrastructure. After you create your configuration files, you create an execution plan that allows you to preview your infrastructure changes before they're deployed. Once you verify the changes, you apply the execution plan to deploy the infrastructure.

Managing Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL using Terraform

Terraform supports all management operations for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters such as cluster create or update and adding worker nodes to cluster. Specifically, Terraform supports all management operations implemented in the REST APIs.

Terraform provides documentation for all supported Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL management operations.

• Cluster and node operations
  • Cluster management
  • Worker node configuration
  • Coordinator and single node configuration
• Native PostgreSQL user role management
• Networking settings
  • Public access - firewall rule management
  • Private access - private endpoint management
  • Private access - Private Link service management
