Terraform Template - Microsoft Fabric (Capacity)

Costa Rica

Last updated: 2026-02-16

This template contains Terraform configurations to create a Microsoft Fabric capacity in Azure.

Important

Fabric capacity creation requires at least one admin member.

Option A (recommended): set use_current_user_as_admin = true and let Terraform resolve the current user UPN.
Option B: set admin_members explicitly to one or more UPNs like user@domain.com. To avoid committing identities, prefer environment variables:
PowerShell: $env:TF_VAR_admin_members='["user@domain.com"]'
PowerShell (auto): keep use_current_user_as_admin = true and omit admin_members.

Note

The Fabric capacity resource is created via the AzAPI provider using the ARM resource type Microsoft.Fabric/capacities@2023-11-01.
The Resource Group is created via AzAPI (idempotent ARM PUT) to align with other templates in this repository.
