Azure Logic App Standard: Setting vnetPrivatePortsCount via Terraform – A Comprehensive Guide

Are you tired of manually configuring your Azure Logic App Standard’s VNet settings? Do you want to automate the process and make it more efficient? Look no further! In this article, we’ll show you how to set the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property via Terraform, making your deployment process faster and more reliable.

What is Azure Logic App Standard?

Azure Logic App Standard is a fully managed, serverless platform that enables you to automate workflows and integrate applications across multiple services. It’s an upgraded version of the traditional Logic Apps, offering better performance, security, and scalability. With Azure Logic App Standard, you can create complex workflows using a visual interface or code, making it an ideal choice for enterprise-grade integrations.

What is vnetPrivatePortsCount?

The `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property is a crucial setting in Azure Logic App Standard that determines the number of private ports used by the app. By default, Azure assigns a fixed number of private ports to each logic app, which can be limiting in certain scenarios. By setting `vnetPrivatePortsCount`, you can customize the number of private ports to meet your specific requirements.

Why Set vnetPrivatePortsCount via Terraform?

Manually setting the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Terraform, an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool, provides a more efficient and reliable way to manage your Azure resources. By using Terraform, you can:

• Automate the deployment process
• Version control your infrastructure
• Implement consistent configurations across multiple environments
• Reduce errors and improve security

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following:

1. An Azure subscription with a valid account
2. Azure Logic App Standard created in your subscription
3. Terraform installed on your machine (version 1.1.0 or later)
4. A basic understanding of Terraform and Azure Logic App Standard

Step 1: Create a Terraform Configuration File

Open your preferred code editor and create a new file named `main.tf`. This file will contain the Terraform configuration for your Azure Logic App Standard.

provider "azurerm" {
  version = "3.19.1"
  subscription_id = "your_subscription_id"
  client_id      = "your_client_id"
  client_secret = "your_client_secret"
  tenant_id      = "your_tenant_id"
}

resource "azurerm_logic_app_standard" "example" {
  name                = "my-logic-app-standard"
  resource_group_name = "my-resource-group"
  location            = "West US"
  storage_plan_data {
    kind = "Standard"
    sku {
      name = "EP1"
    }
  }
}

In the above code:

• We define the Azure provider with our subscription, client, and tenant IDs.
• We create an `azurerm_logic_app_standard` resource with the required properties, such as name, resource group, and location.
• We specify the storage plan data, including the kind and SKU.

Step 2: Set vnetPrivatePortsCount Property

Now, let’s add the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property to our Terraform configuration file:

resource "azurerm_logic_app_standard" "example" {
  ...
  vnet_private_ports_count = 5
  ...
}

In the above code, we set `vnetPrivatePortsCount` to 5, which means the logic app will use 5 private ports. You can adjust this value based on your specific requirements.

Step 3: Initialize and Apply Terraform

Initialize Terraform by running the following command in your terminal:

terraform init

This command will initialize the Terraform working directory and download the required Azure provider.

Next, apply the Terraform configuration by running:

terraform apply

This command will create or update the Azure Logic App Standard with the specified `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property.

Verify the vnetPrivatePortsCount Setting

After applying the Terraform configuration, verify that the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property is set correctly:

Go to the Azure portal, navigate to your Azure Logic App Standard, and click on the “Configuration” blade. Scroll down to the “Networking” section, and you should see the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property set to 5 (or the value you specified in your Terraform configuration).

Property	Value
vnetPrivatePortsCount	5

Congratulations! You have successfully set the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property via Terraform. This will help you to automate and standardize your Azure Logic App Standard deployments.

Conclusion

In this article, we demonstrated how to set the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` property via Terraform for Azure Logic App Standard. By using Terraform, you can automate the deployment process, reduce errors, and improve security. Remember to adjust the `vnetPrivatePortsCount` value based on your specific requirements and to test your Terraform configuration thoroughly before applying it to production environments.
