Terraform template example

This repository provides an example of using Terraform to provision infrastructure in Azure. The example is meant to serve as a template for people who are new to Terraform or looking for a simple example to get started with.

Prerequisites

To use this example, you need to have the following installed:

• Terraform CLI
• Azure CLI
• An Azure account with a working subscription

Usage

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Botvinnik94/terraform-example.git

2. Authenticate to Azure CLI

az login

3. Navigate to the repository directory

cd terraform-example/terraform

4. Check and modify the configuration files if necessary:

   • main.tf contains the infrastructure definition.
   • variables.tf contains the variables used in the infrastructure definition.
   • vars/<env>.tfvars contains the actual variable value for each environment.

5. Ensure that you have created the following resources in Azure (you can change the naming by modifying the backend names in main.tf):

   • Resource Group with the name botvinnik-tf-rg
   • Storage Account within that Resource group with the name botvinniktfstac
   • Container within that Storage Account with the name botvinnik-tf-cont

6. Initialize Terraform

terraform init

7. Plan the Terraform execution with the variable file for the target environment

terraform plan -var-file=vars/<env>.tfvars

8. Apply the Terraform execution

terraform apply -var-file=vars/<env>.tfvars

Clean up

To destroy the resources created by Terraform, run:

terraform destroy
