To use the code in this repository, you will need the following applications:

• HashiCorp Terraform 0.14.9 (or later)
• HashiCorp Consul 1.9.4 (or later)
• Azure CLI az 2.0.0 (or later)

Workflows

The code in this repository is split out into a handful of distinct flows, each in their own directory:

• terraform/azure contains code for Terraform to set up an Azure Resource Group and generate a Packer variables definition file
• terraform/kubernetes contains code for Terraform to start a Linux Virtual Machine with the Packer image
• shipyard/consul contains a Shipyard blueprint for running a pre-configured Consul server

Each directory contains its own README.md with information relevant to the workflow.

Additional Reading

While the authors of this repository take care to explain all workflows with the amount of detail required to execute them, the information here should not be considered exhaustive.

This section is a collection of links that will help you make the most of today's session.
