Terraform Azure Virtual Machines Deployment

🚀 Deploy Azure Virtual Machines with Terraform

This Terraform project automates the deployment of Azure resources including a Virtual Network, Subnet, Network Security Group, and Linux Virtual Machines.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed and set up:

1. Terraform: Install Terraform by following the official installation guide.

2. Azure CLI: Configure Azure CLI and authenticate by running az login. Make sure your account has the necessary permissions to create Azure resources.

3. SSH Key Pair: Generate an SSH key pair if you haven't already. You will need the public key (id_rsa.pub) for SSH access to the virtual machines.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-name>

2. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

3. Set Terraform Variables:

   Copy the terraform.tfvars.example file to terraform.tfvars and adjust the variables as per your environment:

   cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars

   Modify terraform.tfvars to set your prefix, location, nodecount, username, password, and any other required variables.

4. Review Terraform Plan:

   terraform plan

   This command shows you what Terraform will do when you apply your configuration.

5. Apply Terraform Configuration:

   terraform apply

   Review the plan and type yes to apply the configuration and provision Azure resources.

6. Accessing Virtual Machines:

   Once deployed, Terraform will output information about the deployed resources, including public IP addresses of the virtual machines. Use SSH to connect:

   ssh <username>@<public-ip-address>

   Replace <username> with your specified admin username and <public-ip-address> with the actual IP.

Cleanup

To avoid unnecessary charges, destroy the Terraform-managed infrastructure when no longer needed:

terraform destroy

Type yes to confirm destruction.

• Ansible: This configuration installs Ansible on the deployed virtual machines using remote-exec provisioner. Ensure your local machine has Ansible installed if you plan to manage these VMs using Ansible scripts.

• Customization: Feel free to modify variables or add more resources in main.tf as per your project requirements.
