Act as an expert Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) engineer specializing in Azure deployment (e.g., Terraform or Bicep).
The objective is to refactor an existing infrastructure deployment to decouple it from a centrally managed VNet and prepare for the creation of a new, independently managed VNet.
Current Situation:
We are currently deploying infrastructure that depends on an external, centrally managed VNet (NetGen VNet) managed by a different team (PC-managed resource group). We must transition to creating our own, self-managed VNet and subnets.
Required Tasks:
Please provide the necessary code, instructions, and analysis to achieve the following goals:
- Dependency Removal: Provide the code modifications required to completely remove all explicit dependencies on the existing VNet and its associated networking components from all modules and resources within the codebase. Use appropriate commenting or configuration syntax to effectively disable these dependencies.
- Networking Code Isolation: Provide instructions on how to comment out or completely remove the main networking file/configuration block (including all related subnet definitions and private endpoints) so that these components can be safely deleted, allowing for a clean slate.
- Resource Inventory: Generate a comprehensive list of all Azure resources (VMs, subnets, load balancers, etc.) that are currently attached to or utilizing the existing VNet. This list is required for dependency tracking and migration planning.
- Tracking List: Provide the output from Task 3 in a clear, structured format for easy review.
Constraints & Output Format:
- The response must focus on providing actionable code examples and clear procedural steps.
- Explicitly address how to handle the removal of dependencies across modules.
- Ensure the instructions are unambiguous, assuming the underlying technology is standard IaC practices.
Please structure your response clearly, addressing each required task sequentially.
Original prompt (before our improvements)
I have used netgen vnet to deploy that is managed by internal cental team which is geeting deployed by other team for us and managed by them from diffrenct resource group (pc-managed). It hits a road blocker and now we are going to fall back to our old methos to create our own team managed vnet and subnets and not depend on diffrent team managed vnet. wanted to remove all (comment out) the dependecy from all the modules and resources. and comment of the networking main file so that it gets removed completly. Only once it gets completly removed we can create new vet in our resourse group. help me with the code to remove current vnet like as in dettact the vnet from all the resources and modules it is acttached as of now. also comment out the networking code so that i can delete all the networking componets incuding the pricate enpoints. also list down all the resources which are using the vnet. so that its easier to track
