Terraform Azure

1. Configure Node js and terraform in Environment Variables (Use Variables — Path)
2. Install VS Code extensions — Azure Terraform and Azure Cli
3. Set the current Azure subscription

To view the current Azure subscription,

az account show

If you have access to multiple available Azure subscriptions, use az account list to display a list of subscription name ID values:

az account list --query "[].{name:name, subscriptionId:id}"

To use a specific Azure subscription for the current Cloud Shell session, use az account set.

az account set --subscription="<subscription_id>"

Install terraform

choco install terraform

4. Create and apply a Terraform execution plan

To initialize the Terraform deployment, run terraform init. This command downloads the Azure modules required to create an Azure resource group.

terraform init

After initialization, you create an execution plan by running terraform plan.

terraform plan -out <terraform_plan>.tfplan

• The optional -out parameter allows you to specify an output file for the plan.

Once you’re ready to apply the execution plan to your cloud infrastructure, you run terraform apply.

terraform apply <terraform_plan>.tfplan

az account set — subscription=”c61c7331–30b2–4727–87a4–0048303139f6"

# Initializes the terraform exec

terraform init

# Generate a plan according to the tf file

terraform plan -out devsetup.tfplan

# Apply the plan remotely

terraform apply devsetup.tfplan

# Remove the remote resources based on the plan

# terraform destroy
