+# Terraform Template - Azure Synapse Analytics (Workspace)
+
+Costa Rica
+
+[![GitHub](https://img.shields.io/badge/--181717?logo=github&logoColor=ffffff)](https://github.com/)
+[brown9804](https://github.com/brown9804)
+
+Last updated: 2026-02-11
+
+------------------------------------------
+
+> This template contains Terraform configurations to create an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace backed by an ADLS Gen2 filesystem.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> This template creates the Storage Account and filesystem via the AzAPI provider (management plane) to avoid key-based Storage data-plane operations (common in environments where shared keys are disabled by policy).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Synapse validates the default data lake storage using the DFS URL format: `https://<accountname>.dfs.core.windows.net/<filesystem>`. This template passes that format to `azurerm_synapse_workspace`.
+
+## File Descriptions
+
+- **main.tf**: Creates the Resource Group, Storage Account + filesystem (ADLS Gen2), and Synapse Workspace.
+- **variables.tf**: Defines the input variables used in the Terraform configuration.
+- **provider.tf**: Configures the AzureRM + AzAPI providers.
+- **terraform.tfvars**: Provides example values for the variables defined in `variables.tf`.
+- **outputs.tf**: Defines outputs such as the Synapse workspace ID.
+
+## Variables
+
+| Variable Name | Description | Type | Example Value |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `resource_group_name` | Resource Group name to create/deploy into. | string | `"rg-analytics-dev"` |
+| `location` | Azure region for the deployment. | string | `"eastus"` |
+| `synapse_workspace_name` | Base Synapse workspace name. If suffix enabled, final is `<base>-<suffix>`. | string | `"synw-analytics-dev"` |
+| `managed_resource_group_name` | Base managed RG name for Synapse. If suffix enabled, final is `<base>-<suffix>`. | string | `"rg-synapse-managed-analytics-dev"` |
+| `storage_account_name` | Base storage account name. If suffix enabled, final is `<base><suffix>` (no dash). | string | `"stadlsanalyticsdev"` |
+| `filesystem_name` | ADLS Gen2 filesystem name (container). | string | `"synapse"` |
+| `sql_administrator_login` | Synapse SQL admin login. | string | `"sqladminuser"` |
+| `sql_administrator_password` | Synapse SQL admin password (prefer env var). | string | `"<set via TF_VAR_sql_administrator_password>"` |
+| `append_random_suffix` | Append a random suffix to avoid global collisions. | bool | `true` |
+| `random_suffix_length` | Length of the random suffix when enabled. | number | `6` |
+| `tags` | Tags applied to resources. | map(string) | `{ "env": "dev" }` |
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Authenticate:
+
+   ```sh
+   az login
+   ````
+
+   ```sh
+   az account show
+   # If needed:
+   az account set --subscription "<subscription-id-or-name>"
+   ```
+
+3. Provide the SQL admin password without committing it:
+
+   PowerShell:
+
+   ```powershell
+   $env:TF_VAR_sql_administrator_password = "<your-strong-password>"
+   ```
+
+4. Initialize:
+
+   ```sh
+   terraform init -upgrade
+   ```
+
+5. Validate and plan:
+
+   ```sh
+   terraform validate
+   terraform plan
+   ```
+
+6. Apply:
+
+   ```sh
+   terraform apply -auto-approve
+   ```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Synapse workspace names are globally unique. If you disable `append_random_suffix`, you may hit name collisions.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The SQL admin password must meet complexity rules (at least 3 of: upper/lower/digit/special). Use `TF_VAR_sql_administrator_password` to avoid committing secrets.

 > [!NOTE]
+>
 > - This template creates the Storage Account and filesystem via the AzAPI provider (management plane) to avoid key-based Storage data-plane operations (common in environments where shared keys are disabled by policy).
 > - Synapse validates the default data lake storage using the DFS URL format: `https://<accountname>.dfs.core.windows.net/<filesystem>`. This template passes that format to `azurerm_synapse_workspace`.
 > - Synapse workspace names are globally unique. If you disable `append_random_suffix`, you may hit name collisions.
