⚙️ Azure Terraform Generator

This module provides a Cloudhopper generator that enables the deployment of annotated Java functions as Azure Functions using Terraform and Java handler code generation.

Azure is unique in that Cloudhopper generates most of the glue code as Java classes. Only shared Terraform infrastructure (like the Function App and Storage Account) is generated as .tf files.

📢 Documentation Notice:

All Cloudhopper functions on Azure are exposed via HTTP under the /api/functionIdroute unless otherwise specified with an @HttpTrigger(path="...") annotation.

Functions without an @HttpTrigger will default to their @Function(functionId) name as the HTTP route.
Direct invocation via SDK (like AWS Lambda invoke()) is not supported on Azure — Azure Functions require trigger bindings.

Therefore, every Cloudhopper function in Azure is accessible via an HTTP call to its assigned route.

📦 How to Use

To use this generator in your own project, configure the following:

1. Add the dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>eu.cloudhopper.mc</groupId>
  <artifactId>generator-azure-terraform</artifactId>
  <version>${cloudhopper.version}</version>
</dependency>

2. Configure annotation processing

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.8.1</version>
  <configuration>
    <source>11</source>
    <target>11</target>
    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
    <annotationProcessors>
      <annotationProcessor>
        eu.cloudhopper.mc.deployment.config.generator.ServerlessFunctionProcessor
      </annotationProcessor>
    </annotationProcessors>
    <compilerArgs>
      <arg>-Acloudprovider=azure</arg>
      <arg>-AgeneratorId=azure-terraform</arg>
      <arg>-AconfigOutputDir=${project.build.directory}/deployment/azure</arg>
      <arg>-AtargetDir=${project.build.directory}</arg>
      <arg>-AartifactId=${project.artifactId}</arg>
      <arg>-Aversion=${project.version}</arg>
      <arg>-Aclassifier=azure</arg>
    </compilerArgs>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

3. Add Azure Functions Maven Plugin

This plugin is used to package and deploy the generated Azure function handler classes.

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
  <artifactId>azure-functions-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${azure.functions.maven.plugin.version}</version>
  <configuration>
    <appName>${functionAppName}</appName>
    <resourceGroup>java-functions-group</resourceGroup>
    <appServicePlanName>java-functions-app-service-plan</appServicePlanName>
    <region>westus</region>
    <runtime>
      <os>linux</os>
      <javaVersion>11</javaVersion>
    </runtime>
    <appSettings>
      <property>
        <name>FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION</name>
        <value>~4</value>
      </property>
    </appSettings>
    <skipInstallExtensions>true</skipInstallExtensions>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>package-functions</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>package</goal>
      </goals>
      <phase>package</phase>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

4. Optional: ZIP Packaging for Terraform Deployment

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.0</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>make-zip</id>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>single</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <descriptors>
          <descriptor>src/assembly/azure-zip.xml</descriptor>
        </descriptors>
        <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-${jar.classifier}</finalName>
        <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

📁 Templates

🔌 Template Registration

@TemplateRegistration(
  generatorId = "azure-terraform",
  templates = {
    @Template(name = "function", phase = GenerationPhase.SOURCES),
    @Template(name = "schedule", phase = GenerationPhase.SOURCES),
    @Template(name = "apiIntegrationClass", phase = GenerationPhase.SOURCES),
    @Template(name = "shared", phase = GenerationPhase.DEPLOYMENT)
  }
)
public class AzureTerraformJava21TemplateRegistration { ... }
