Workloads are the fundamental deployment unit on the Azion Platform. They represent your applications and services that are delivered through the global network of edge nodes.

The azion_workload resource allows you to manage workloads through Terraform. Each workload can have multiple deployments, managed by the azion_workload_deployment resource.

Migrating from Domains (V3 to V4)

If you’re migrating from API v3, the azion_domain resource has been replaced by azion_workload and azion_workload_deployment.

Before (V3)

resource "azion_domain" "example" {
name = "my-domain"
edge_application = 12345
domain_name = "example.com"
}

After (V4)

resource "azion_workload" "example" {
name = "my-workload"
}
resource "azion_workload_deployment" "example" {
workload_id = azion_workload.example.id
}

See the Migration Guide for more details.
