Azure – Terraform #6 – Thiago Beier🍁

Hi there

in this post I’m covering Azure & Terraform series today I’m continuing to use the previous vars.tf file which we used to declare all variables for our main.tf file to standardize our Azure through Terraform scripts.

Before we continue check your Terraform version running terraform –version

Quick review

download Terraform from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
edit your Windows PATH variable to point to your terraform main folder (I have a main folder for Azure deployments with a folder on C:\TERRAFORM\ where I extract my Terraform downloaded file into)
quick commands
1. az login
2. terraform init
3. terraform plan -out myplanName
4. terraform apply myplanName
5. follow up your console output to check for any warnings, errors and its deployment
6. terraform destroy

Now you’re ready to continue

download main.tf for this exercise

changes for this exercise

removed variable “admin_password” from vars.tf file
declared data and output variables to capture:
- the vm public ip address
- admin user name (case sensitve)
- admin password (randomly generated on main.tf)
- OK SKU

This main.tf will create the following using variables from vars.tf

azure resource group named MyTerraform6
region (location): eastus
azure VNET named myTFVnet
azure subnet #1 named myTFSubnet
azure ubuntu vm 1804 LTS named myTFVM
azure public ip for the ubuntu vm named myTFPublicIP
azure nsg with firewall rule allowing ssh tcp port 22 to the vm through its public ip named myTFNSG
vm admin user named: adminuser
random vm password: ******
prefix for all variables replacing the my*azure resource identifier* , where all azure resources to be created under MyTerraform6 azure resource group.
