Terraform on Azure, Evolved - Providers, Export, & Shift-Left Governance
summary
Covers concrete changes: adoption of MSGraph 1.0 provider for day‑zero Entra ID and M365 resources, expanded Export available from VS Code, the MCP Server, and the Azure Portal, and AzAPI roadmap toward AZ API provider 3.0 with preflight defaults, no‑op diffs, ephemeral properties, and quota enforcement. Describes a new state‑drift utility called absorb tool (public preview) that converts plan JSON to HCL and updates code; demos show exports working and absorb removing drift so subsequent plans report zero changes.
