Change description
This PR completes the central part of the migration from the deprecated TerraformCLI@2 extension to Microsoft’s supported Terraform extension (ms-devlabs.custom-terraform-tasks).
As part of the migration, terraform.yaml now supports overriding backend configuration (resource group, storage account, container, and key) while still using the Microsoft task. This removes the need for initCommandOptions in consuming repos and avoids backend config clashes that occur when the Microsoft extension auto-injects backend parameters.
Specifically:
Added optional parameters:
backendResourceGroupName
backendStorageAccountName
backendContainerName
backendKey
Default behaviour remains unchanged (HMCTS control backend with standard naming) if parameters are not supplied.
Enables legacy/backward-compatible backend layout for heritage pipelines while still using the Microsoft extension.
Testing done
Manually tested via oracle-azure-infrastructure pipeline using the updated overrides.
Verified terraform init completes successfully for automation_account with the Microsoft extension (backend resolved via override parameters).
