In this post, we will talk about 5 bite size projects using Terraform & Azure for provisioning unique Azure resources through Terraform.
Project 1: Basic Virtual Network
- Requirement: Create a fundamental virtual network (VNet) and a single subnet within it.
- Summary: Establishes the core networking foundation for other Azure resources.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
Project 2: Virtual Machine Deployment
- Requirement: Provision a simple Linux virtual machine (VM) within the previously created virtual network.
- Summary: Demonstrates how to create a compute instance using Terraform, including VM size, OS image selection, and networking integration.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
Project 3: Azure Storage Account
- Requirement: Create a general-purpose storage account in Azure.
- Summary: Introduces managing storage resources with Terraform. You can explore options like storage type (blob, files, etc.) and redundancy levels.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
Project 4: Azure SQL Database
- Requirement: Provision an Azure SQL Database instance with a basic configuration.
- Summary: Focuses on creating a managed database service. Concepts like database server setup and firewall rules will be touched upon.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
Project 5: Azure App Service with Web App
- Requirement: Create an Azure App Service plan and deploy a basic web application inside it.
- Summary: Covers a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) scenario and might require a sample web application to be available for deployment.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
- A simple web app (HTML, Node.js, Python, etc.)
Project 6: Resource Group Deployment with Tagging
- Requirement: Create an Azure Resource Group and provision several unrelated resources within it (e.g., a VM, Storage Account, App Service). Apply consistent tagging across these resources.
- Summary: Emphasizes project organization, resource grouping, and the importance of effective tagging strategies.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
Project 7: Deploying with Variables and Outputs
- Requirement: Using any of the previous projects, introduce Terraform variables to make configuration elements more flexible (e.g., location, VM size). Demonstrate the use of Terraform outputs.
- Summary: Introduces fundamental practices for parameterizing Terraform configurations and making your projects reusable.
- Tools & Services:
- Terraform
- Azure Provider for Terraform
