create-vm-and-deploy-service

Prerequisites

• Setup Terraform to work with Azure

Prepare SSH key

In order to SSH to the new VM as well as deploy the service, you need to provide your SSH key

cp secret.tfvars.template secret.tfvars

# Now add your SSH public key to secret.tfvars (DO NOT commit it!!!)

Provision with Terraform CLI

# navigate to terraform code
cd TerraformHub/Azure/create-vm-with-service

# init
terraform init -upgrade

# plan
terraform plan -out main.tfplan -var-file="secret.tfvars"

# apply
terraform apply main.tfplan

Check the result

resource_group_name=$(terraform output -raw resource_group_name)
echo "resource_group_name:"
echo "$resource_group_name"
echo "VM list:"
az vm list --resource-group $resource_group_name --query "[].{\"VM Name\":name}" -o table

Or go to Azure Portal to view your resource https://portal.azure.com/#browse/resourcegroups

Cleanup

If you are done with the experimental and want to stop/destroy all the resources, run:

terraform plan -destroy -out main.destroy.tfplan

terraform apply main.destroy.tfplan
