Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365

Tuesday September 17, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Terraform is widely recognized as the dominant language for professional cloud configuration. It has become an essential tool for Azure, AWS, and Kubernetes projects, offering numerous advantages such as a readable declaration language, reliable state tracking for changes, robust auditing of all modifications through git, and automatic documentation of infrastructure.

Until now, Terraform has primarily focused on configuring cloud infrastructures and provided limited support for Entra ID. However, we are introducing a groundbreaking development: the Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365. This session provides an overview of this provider, which in it's first incarnation enables the configuration of almost all aspects of Intune. With support for Autopilot, Conditional Access, Configuration Profiles with Settings Catalog, Compliance Policies, and more, it opens up entirely new possibilities for Enterprise or MSP Tenant Management through Terraform.
