APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/terraform.instructions.md

APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample terraform.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Azure-Samples/APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample. It costs 1,387 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidelines for using Terraform, a tool that defines and manages cloud infrastructure through configuration files. They cover configuration practices, security, version control, and protecting credentials and state files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when writing or reviewing Terraform configurations that provision and manage infrastructure.
Why use it?
They reduce common infrastructure risks such as mismatched file paths, outdated providers, exposed secrets, and unmanaged configuration changes.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is Azure-Samples/APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

APIM-Unified-AI-Gateway-Sample terraform.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Terraform Conventions

General Instructions

  • Use Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure.
  • Use version control for your Terraform configurations.
  • Preserve file and folder casing: Never change file or folder name casing without explicit user approval. Path references are case-sensitive on Linux but not on Windows, so changing casing can break deployments (e.g., policy fragment paths, module source paths). Always verify path references match exactly after any file operations.

Security

  • Always use the latest stable version of Terraform and its providers.
    • Regularly update your Terraform configurations to incorporate security patches and improvements.
  • Store sensitive information in a secure manner, such as using Azure Key Vault.
    • Regularly rotate credentials and secrets.
    • Automate the rotation of secrets, where possible.
  • Use environment variables to reference values stored in secure vaults.
    • This keeps sensitive values out of your Terraform state files.
  • Never commit sensitive information such as credentials, API keys, passwords, certificates, or Terraform state to version control.
    • Use .gitignore to exclude files containing sensitive information from version control.
  • Always mark sensitive variables as sensitive = true in your Terraform configurations.
    • This prevents sensitive values from being displayed in the Terraform plan or apply output.
  • Use role-based access control (RBAC) to control access to resources.
    • Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning permissions.
  • Use network security groups and firewalls to control network access to resources.
  • Deploy resources in private networks whenever possible.
    • Use public endpoints only for resources that require direct internet access.
  • Use encryption for sensitive data at rest and in transit.
    • Enable encryption for storage accounts, databases, and other data stores.
    • Use TLS for communication between services.
  • Regularly review and audit your Terraform configurations for security vulnerabilities.
    • Use tools like trivy, tfsec, or checkov to scan your Terraform configurations for security issues.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
