Description

Please add something like fqdn or application_url as output attribute to azurerm_container_app.

When deploying a Azure Container App (azurerm_container_app), the only Terraform attribute in output for the app's FQDN is latest_revision_fqdn (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/3.111.0/docs/resources/container_app#latest_revision_fqdn)`. This is a value of the form e.g. my-container-app--52twja6.gentleluke-8f70498d.uksouth.azurecontainerapps.io:6379. Notice the --52twja6 which corresponds to the latest revision ID.

Whereas the most useful output would be the Application URL as exposed in the Azure Portal, or the application FQDN, meaning the FQDN of the app with no mention of revision at all. This is of the form my-container-app.gentleluke-8f70498d.uksouth.azurecontainerapps.io Notice there is no mention of any revision ID here. This points to the latest revision too. But this FQDN is stable and always correct, whereas the latest revision FQDN will change everytime a new revision is created.

Please add something like fqdn or application_url as output attribute to azurerm_container_app.

Meanwhile for anyone interested I am currently using this expression in Terraform to get the application URL/FQDN I need:

replace(azurerm_container_app.main.latest_revision_fqdn, "/--.{7}/", "")

This removes the --abc1234 revision suffix from the latest revision FQDN.

This is a good suggestion @Bastien-Brd I will try to submit a PR for this.

Oh actually nevermind, I found what is the correct attribute that already exists: this FQDN I was looking for is actually an attribute of the ingress bock, you can get it like this:

azurerm_container_app.main.ingress[0].fqdn

I don't think there needs to be anything new added then, this issue can probably be closed.
