Creating Azure Front Door instance with TerraForm


Having trouble creating a Azure Front Door instance with Terraform. The setup should be pretty basic, but can not find out what is wrong.

Here is the terraform script

resource "azurerm_frontdoor" "b2cfrontdoor" {
  name                                         = "fd-adpb2c-westeurope-dev"
  resource_group_name                          = azurerm_resource_group.b2c.name
  enforce_backend_pools_certificate_name_check = true

  routing_rule {
    name               = "routingrule"
    accepted_protocols = ["Http", "Https"]
    patterns_to_match  = ["/*"]
    frontend_endpoints = ["b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev"]
    forwarding_configuration {
      forwarding_protocol = "MatchRequest"
      backend_pool_name   = "b2-backend-pool-dev"
    }
  }

  backend_pool_load_balancing {
    name = "loadbalancingsettings"
  }

  backend_pool_health_probe {
    name    = "healthprobesettings"
    enabled = false
    probe_method = "HEAD"
  }

  backend_pool {
    name = "b2-backend-pool-dev"
    backend {
      host_header = "xyz.b2clogin.com"
      address     = "xyz.b2clogin.com"
      http_port   = 80
      https_port  = 443
    }
    load_balancing_name = "loadbalancingsettings"
    health_probe_name   = "healthprobesettings"
  }

  frontend_endpoint {
    name      = "b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev"
    host_name = "b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev.azurefd.net"
    session_affinity_enabled = false
    session_affinity_ttl_seconds = 0
  }
}

The error message returned is

Error: creating Front Door "fd-adpb2c-westeurope-dev" (Resource Group "rg-adpb2c-westeurope-dev"): frontdoor.FrontDoorsClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: Code="BadRequest" Message="The frontend endpoint zone \"\" must only be used in the default CNAME entry."

  on resource_frontdoor.tf line 1, in resource "azurerm_frontdoor" "b2cfrontdoor":
   1: resource "azurerm_frontdoor" "b2cfrontdoor" {

Did some sniffing on the request sende to Azure and found a PUT request to

    ]
  },

}

and the response is

{
  "error": {
    "code": "BadRequest",
    "message": "The frontend endpoint zone \"\" must only be used in the default CNAME entry."
  }
}

The TerraForm version is 0.14.10 and the azurerm version is v2.56.0

Anyone knows about this problem?

Thanks


Solution

  • Found out what was wrong (also indicated by Jim Xu). The name of the resource ("azurerm_frontdoor" "b2cfrontdoor") and the name of the frontend_endpoint must be the same. When createing a Front Door instance in the Azure Portal you are not asked for name, The Front Door instance get it's name from the name of the frontend.

    resource "azurerm_frontdoor" "b2cfrontdoor" {
          name                                         = "b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev"
          resource_group_name                          = azurerm_resource_group.b2c.name
          enforce_backend_pools_certificate_name_check = true
        
          routing_rule {
            name               = "routingrule"
            accepted_protocols = ["Http", "Https"]
            patterns_to_match  = ["/*"]
            frontend_endpoints = ["b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev"]
            forwarding_configuration {
              forwarding_protocol = "MatchRequest"
              backend_pool_name   = "b2-backend-pool-dev"
            }
          }
        
          backend_pool_load_balancing {
            name = "loadbalancingsettings"
          }
        
          backend_pool_health_probe {
            name    = "healthprobesettings"
            enabled = false
            probe_method = "HEAD"
          }
        
          backend_pool {
            name = "b2-backend-pool-dev"
            backend {
              host_header = "xyz.b2clogin.com"
              address     = "xyz.b2clogin.com"
              http_port   = 80
              https_port  = 443
            }
            load_balancing_name = "loadbalancingsettings"
            health_probe_name   = "healthprobesettings"
          }
        
          frontend_endpoint {
            name      = "b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev"
            host_name = "b2c-frontdoor-endpoint-dev.azurefd.net"
            session_affinity_enabled = false
            session_affinity_ttl_seconds = 0
          }
        }
