Configure Azure for Terraform State File

If you look at the src/provider.tf file. you will see that we are using an Azure backend to store state. If you want an Azure backend you can add a storage account with the commands below otherwise remove the backend params and you can use local state.

Export variable with your own distinct name export STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=aksreactorlab123

Create Resource Group az group create --location australiaeast --name terraformstate

Create Storage Account az storage account create --name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME --resource-group terraformstate --location australiaeast --sku Standard_LRS

Create Storage Container az storage container create --name reactorlab --account-name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME

Now the Storage account and container are created you need to update the terraform provider.tf with the values (storage_account_name, and container_name)

Provision Infra with Terraform

1. Terraform init terraform init -var-file=deployment/devops.tfvars -backend-config="resource_group_name=Ortelius-administrator" -backend-config="storage_account_name=orteliusinfrastate" -backend-config="container_name=prod" -backend-config="key=prod.tfstate"

2. Terraform Plan terraform plan -var-file=deployment/devops.tfvars

3. Terraform Apply terraform apply -var-file=deployment/devops.tfvars
