Terraform Template - Azure Data Factory

Costa Rica

Last updated: 2026-02-11

This template contains Terraform configurations to create an Azure Data Factory instance with a system-assigned managed identity.

Note

This template creates the Resource Group for you.
Azure Data Factory names are globally unique. If you disable append_random_suffix, you may hit DataFactoryNameInUse and need to change data_factory_name.
