AzureRM

Adding new resources

For the AzureRM services pricing we have to be aware of this 2 APIs:

If it's from a new service (not listed on the /azurerm/service.go you first have to add it to the list and find the right mapping to then add to the services map so it can be validated, to get the actual service ID you have to use this API.

If you have to add a new resource then you have to first find out to which service does it belong, if we are not supporting it yet (azurerm/service.go) then you'll have to add it to the list (using the list services list) to put then on the services variable on the same file, this will allow the importer to be able support that service.

If if we support the service then the only missing thing is to add the new resource, for that I would follow the pattern we already have already for any other resource in terms of code:

  • Add the new resource into the terraform/ with a file name of the resource removing the provider prefix (ex: azurerm_virtual_machine->virtual_machine.go)
  • Add it to the azurerm/terraform/provider.go on the ResourceComponents
  • Create the decode{RESOURCE}Values which reads from the raw values from Terraform to get the needed information to calculate the price (ex: size) by having a mapstructure directly mapping it
  • Create the Components() func that is used to calculate the price of an specific resource by all the components/attributes we support by creating a query.Component that would return the specific product+price for that attribute.

The last step, the query, is the most important as it may require changes to the azurerm/ingester.go to add specific attributes to the price so the query can be precise enough to return what is needed and not anything else. To know that the only was it to play with the SKUs API for the specific Service and check the results and find a way to map it to what you want by normalizing some elements by adding them to the attributes.

When all this is done you may want to check the azurerm/filter.go#MinimalFilter to add anything else you want to filter so we do not ingest all the SKUs but only the ones we need.
