Today, we are pleased to announce another milestone in our support for Azure with the release of our Custom Terraform Modules Creation Wizard.

Following the major announcement of our Terraform Import Engine for Azure, our Azure users can now build custom Terraform modules with just a few clicks.
This enhancement makes our Terraform Import Engine a 360 automated solution that simplifies the import of Azure resources to Terraform.

Rather than spending time manually writing Custom Terraform Modules, the ControlMonkey Terraform Import Dashboard provides the easiest way to create modules with a user-friendly wizard in a few clicks.

After selecting which resources to bundle together, ControlMonkey automatically generates the Terraform module code. It’s as easy as that.

After the code is generated, users can rename the resources and extract variables to customize it even further.  

ControlMonkey saves cloud engineers precious time and improves productivity: 

• Automatically generates the Terraform module code rather than manually.
• Determines the relationship between the resources by leveraging ControlMonkey’s
  ‘Smart Stacking’ technology.
• Replicates resources or environments in a fast and productive way. 

Do you have Azure infrastructure that you’re looking to manage with Terraform?
ControlMonkey offers the easiest and most swift way to do it.

When you reach a large scale, leveraging Terraform Modules to replicate cloud services across environments becomes more of a necessity than a “Nice to have.”
Most organizations leverage Terraform Modules that reside in a public registries like Hashicorp or OpenTofu or modules from public Git repositories. (e.g. source = git::ssh://[email protected]…).

But every now and then we’ve met customers that had the need to manage their modules in a private registry.
Main reason to do so is making sure their engineers use only pre-defined, compliant modules, and also to adequately manage versions of modules.
So today, we proudly announce the release of the ControlMonkey’s Terraform Private Modules Registry.

ControlMonkey’s Terraform Registry is a private registry for securely sharing, reusing, and version-controlling Terraform modules within your organization.
Starting today, ControlMonkey users can seamlessly leverage custom modules directly from their VCS without sharing credentials, and integrate them into ControlMonkey’s Terraform CI/CD.

Our Private Modules Registry enables cloud engineering teams to create trusted and reusable modules and enforce module versions within their organization. With ControlMonkey, private modules can now be easily accessible in your Terraform code.

Terraform Private Modules Registry applies a Management Layer to private modules that enables the following:

• Delete outdated module versions so they won’t be used.
• Mark specific modules as obsolete (before deletion)
• Display viable information on each module, such as:
  • Which variables are that module using
  • What outputs are defined for that module
  • Which resources are utilized in that Terraform Module
  • Which external Terraform Modules are being used in that module
  • Which Terraform Providers are specified in that module

When you use ControlMonkey as your private registry, you don’t need to be worried about authorization within your Terraform CI/CD pipeline, as we take care of it for you.

Are you leveraging Terraform Modules and looking for the easiest and safest way to manage them?
Our team is waiting to jump on a 30-minute technical discussion to see how ControlMonkey can help.

We are very excited to announce that we have reinforced our Terraform Insights solution by allowing users to generate an SBOM (Software bill of materials) report of the Terraform Modules used in your environment with a click of a button.

A couple of months ago, we announced the release of our Terraform Modules Explorer, which provides DevOps teams with visibility into which Terraform Modules are being used, whether their source is a registry or local Git repository, where they are used in the code, and whether or not they are running on the latest version.

Starting today, ControlMonkey users can generate an easy-to-read and digest SBOM report that is based on the information of the Terraform Modules Explorer with a click of a button.
This is extremely handy for teams that need to provide this information during security audits.

Create a Terraform Modules report that contains:

• Which Terraform Modules are being used
• Is their source Registry or Local
• How many modules
• Version control

Gain full control over your Terraform Modules and take another step forward to being on top of your infrastructure.
