Very basic sample Terraform configuration using the AzureRM Terraform Provider.

Prerequisites

Before you can use this code, you'll need to gather and configure your Azure Authentication info(client_id, client_secret, tenant_id, subscription_id). While you can use your own personal authentication information, it is suggested that you use an Azure Service Principal instead. How to create a Service Principal for use with Terraform can be found here.

You will also need Terraform and Git installed on your system. If you don't yet have Terraform installed, this guide will help you get it set up. If you still need to install Git, you can download it here.

Usage

To use/test this code, do the following:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Change directory to this demo folder.
3. Configure your Azure Authentication information (client_id, client_secret, tenant_id, subscription_id) via Terraform variables or - the preferred method - environment variables.
4. Run terraform init to initialize the Terraform environment in this directory and pull down required providers and modules.
5. Run terraform plan to plan the changes and build the dependency graphs required. This will also allow you to see what changes will occur before applying.
6. ONLY IF ALL LOOKS WELL ON THE PLAN, run terraform apply to apply your changes.
7. If you'd like to tear this infrastructure back down, run terraform destroy to tear it back down. IMPORTANT This is a destructive step that will tear down infrastructure that you've built. Make sure you want to do that before running this command!
