Farmer is an Infrastructure-as-Code library for .NET that enables developers to define Azure resources using a type-safe F\# domain-specific language. It provides a comprehensive set of builders for provisioning and configuring a wide variety of Azure services, ranging from compute and networking to monitoring and security. The system translates these F\# definitions into standard ARM templates for deployment, supported by extensive sample scripts and tutorials for common infrastructure patterns.

The samples/scripts directory has been significantly expanded with new F\# scripts demonstrating how to provision a wide variety of Azure resources using the Farmer library. These include examples for Container Apps with ACR workflows, AKS on VNets, Application Gateway with NSGs, Azure Bastion, CDN, Container Groups (including GPU support), Key Vault (keys and secrets), Event Grid, Event Hubs, IoT Hubs, PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Redis, Logic Apps, Sentinel, and more. The samples also cover advanced scenarios like VM delete options, multi-NIC VMs with ultra disks, and nested resource groups, providing users with comprehensive reference implementations for common infrastructure patterns.

This release introduces new builder modules for several Azure resource types, allowing users to define and deploy them via Farmer. The changes add support for Azure VMware Solution (AVS) private clouds and script packages, comprehensive Action Group configurations (including ARM role, automation runbook, email, SMS, and ITSM receivers), and metric-based alert rules. It also introduces builders for Container Apps (including managed environments, Dapr components, and storage mounts) and a full suite of Application Gateway components (such as SSL certificates, backend pools, and routing rules). Additionally, stubs for Automation Accounts and Prometheus rule groups are included to support monitoring and automation workflows.

Establishes the foundational structure for the Farmer project, including the solution file (Farmer.sln) with main, test, and sample projects, and configures the build environment with global.json targeting the .NET 10 SDK. Adds standard repository metadata such as the MIT License, contributing guidelines, and a pull request template, while updating the README to reflect a stable, production-ready status. Configures CI/CD via Azure Pipelines for building, testing, and publishing NuGet packages, and sets up code formatting enforcement using Fantomas through an .editorconfig file.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

This entry marks the initial commit of the Farmer project, introducing the core domain model and builder infrastructure for defining Azure resources. The diff establishes foundational types such as ResourceId, ResourceType, and ArmExpression, alongside a new Result-based error handling module (FarmerException) and deployment utilities for the Azure CLI. It also includes the first set of builder extensions for private endpoints and a comprehensive list of Azure RBAC roles, providing the base layer upon which specific resource builders (like WebApp, Storage, and VMs) are constructed.

src/Farmer · high confidence

Added a collection of new F\# script samples in the tutorials directory demonstrating how to deploy and configure Azure resources using Farmer. These include tutorials for running F\# scripts in Azure Container Instances (ACI), integrating Web Apps with Key Vault for secrets, deploying Web Apps with ZIP deployment, creating Cosmos DB-backed applications, configuring custom ARM outputs, managing Key Vault certificates with deployment scripts, hosting a Minecraft server on ACI, deploying multiple Web Apps, and setting up serverless ETL pipelines with Azure Functions.

samples/scripts/tutorials · high confidence

Added new builder modules for Azure Monitor (Prometheus rules and rule groups), Action Groups (with support for various receiver types like email, SMS, and webhooks), Application Gateway (including frontend IP configurations, listeners, and backend pools), and Autoscale Settings. These additions allow users to define and deploy monitoring alerts, notification channels, and application gateway configurations directly through the Farmer DSL.

The SampleApp starter template has been restored to provide a basic entry point for users. The Program.fs file now initializes an ARM deployment targeting North Europe and includes placeholders for resource definition and deployment execution, allowing users to begin building their infrastructure-as-code projects.

samples/SampleApp · high confidence

The sample scripts safe-template.fsx, webapp-appinsights.fsx, and webapp-storage.fsx have been removed from the src/Samples directory. These files previously demonstrated how to define Azure resources such as storage accounts and web apps with Application Insights using the Farmer library and write ARM templates to disk. Their deletion indicates that these specific usage patterns or examples are no longer maintained or supported in the current version.

src/Samples · high confidence

Added new unit tests in src/Tests to validate the generation of ARM templates for Action Groups, Alerts, and Application Gateways. The Action Group tests verify the correct serialization of various receiver types (ARM Role, Automation Runbook, Azure Function, Logic App, etc.) and their resource IDs. The Alert tests ensure that metric-based alerts for VMs, SQL Databases, and custom Application Insights metrics are correctly configured with the right criteria, frequencies, and target resource types. The Application Gateway tests confirm that complex configurations, including NSGs, subnets, managed identities, backend pools, and routing rules, are correctly translated into the expected ARM JSON structure.

src/Tests · high confidence

The Farmer library and its test project have been updated to target modern .NET SDKs (net8.0 for the sample app and net10.0 for tests), replacing the previous netstandard2.0-only constraint for the test harness. The core library now depends on FSharp.Core version 5.0.0 and System.Text.Json version 5.0.0, moving away from Newtonsoft.Json for JSON handling. This change aligns the project with current .NET standards and improves performance and compatibility for users authoring ARM templates.
