Modules

For a complete deployment of the AMBA-ALZ pattern you will need the following 2 modules:

avm_ptn_alz

Source: Azure/avm-ptn-alz/azurerm

Version: 0.11.0

Terraform registry: avm-ptn-alz

This module is responsible for the deployment of the following resources:

  • Resource Group.
  • User Assigned Managed Identity.
  • Monitoring Reader Role Assignment for the User Assigned Managed Identity.

avm_ptn_monitoring_amba_alz

Source: Azure/avm-ptn-monitoring-amba-alz/azurerm

Version: 0.1.1

Terraform registry: avm-ptn-monitoring-amba-alz

Additionally, the “avm-ptn-monitoring-amba-alz” module calls the following resource modules:

This module is responsible for the deployment of the following resources used the context of deploying AMBA-ALZ:

  • Deploy policy assets (definitions, assignments, and initiatives) according to the supplied architecture and associated archetypes
  • Modify policy assignments:
    • Enforcement mode
    • Identity
    • Non-compliance messages
    • Overrides
    • Parameters
    • Resource selectors
  • Create the required role assignments for Azure Policy, including support for the assign permissions metadata tag, just like the Azure Portal

AzAPI Provider

We use the AzAPI provider to interact with the Azure APIs. The new features allow us to be more efficient and reliable, with orders of magnitude speed improvements and retry logic for transient errors.

Required Inputs

The following input variables are required:

location

Description: Azure region where the resource should be deployed.

Type: string

root_management_group_name

Description: The name (ID) of the management group.

Type: string

Optional Inputs

The following input variables are optional (have default values):

description

Description: The description used for the role assignment to identify the resource as deployed by AMBA.

Type: string

Default: "_deployed_by_amba"

enable_telemetry

Description: This variable controls whether or not telemetry is enabled for the module. For more information see https://aka.ms/avm/telemetryinfo. If it is set to false, then no telemetry will be collected.

Type: bool

Default: true

lock

Description: Controls the Resource Lock configuration for this resource. The following properties can be specified:

  • kind - (Required) The type of lock. Possible values are \"CanNotDelete\" and \"ReadOnly\".
  • name - (Optional) The name of the lock. If not specified, a name will be generated based on the kind value. Changing this forces the creation of a new resource.

Type:

object({
    kind = string
    name = optional(string, null)
  })

Default: null

resource_group_name

Description: The resource group where the resources will be deployed.

Type: string

Default: "rg-amba-monitoring-001"

retries

Description: The retry settings to apply to the CRUD operations. Value is a nested object, the top level keys are the resources and the values are an object with the following attributes:

  • error_message_regex - (Optional) A list of error message regexes to retry on. Defaults to null, which will will disable retries. Specify a value to enable.
  • interval_seconds - (Optional) The initial interval in seconds between retries. Defaults to null and will fall back to the provider default value.
  • max_interval_seconds - (Optional) The maximum interval in seconds between retries. Defaults to null and will fall back to the provider default value.
  • multiplier - (Optional) The multiplier to apply to the interval between retries. Defaults to null and will fall back to the provider default value.
  • randomization_factor - (Optional) The randomization factor to apply to the interval between retries. Defaults to null and will fall back to the provider default value.

For more information please see the provider documentation here: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Azure/azapi/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/resource#nestedatt--retry

Type:

object({
    role_assignments = optional(object({
      error_message_regex = optional(list(string), [
        "AuthorizationFailed", # Avoids a eventual consistency issue where a recently created management group is not yet available for a GET operation.
        "ResourceNotFound",    # If the resource has just been created, retry until it is available.
      ])
      interval_seconds     = optional(number, null)
      max_interval_seconds = optional(number, null)
      multiplier           = optional(number, null)
      randomization_factor = optional(number, null)
    }), {})
  })

Default: {}

role_assignments

Description: A map of role assignments to create on this resource. The map key is deliberately arbitrary to avoid issues where map keys maybe unknown at plan time.

  • role_definition_id_or_name - The ID or name of the role definition to assign to the principal.
  • principal_id - The ID of the principal to assign the role to.
  • description - The description of the role assignment.
  • skip_service_principal_aad_check - If set to true, skips the Azure Active Directory check for the service principal in the tenant. Defaults to false.
  • condition - The condition which will be used to scope the role assignment.
  • condition_version - The version of the condition syntax. Valid values are ‘2.0’.

Note: only set skip_service_principal_aad_check to true if you are assigning a role to a service principal.

Type:

map(object({
    role_definition_id_or_name             = string
    principal_id                           = string
    description                            = optional(string, null)
    skip_service_principal_aad_check       = optional(bool, false)
    condition                              = optional(string, null)
    condition_version                      = optional(string, null)
    delegated_managed_identity_resource_id = optional(string, null)

tags

Description: (Optional) Tags of the resource.

      create = optional(string, "5m")
      delete = optional(string, "5m")
