![]() ![]() This resource calls an Azure VM extension, which is the method in Azure to execute a command inside the VM using the Azure API, rather than connecting to the VM. For example, if the script needs a username and/or password to execute, you might want to set them up as variables that the user will input when the Terraform template is executed.įinally, there’s another resource we will use to actually execute the script on the Azure side: azurerm_virtual_machine_extension. ![]() The nice thing about this data source is that you can pass on variables that the script will use from the variables that you want to input from Terraform. This is a data source that usually corresponds to a file. For this example, the only one needed is the “ template_file” data type. For Mac users you can install both using homebrew, for Windows users I’d recommend chocolatey. In addition to resources, we need Data to be passed on as part of the creation of the resources. The above items are Terraform resources, which means they are Azure resources that will be created via Terraform. This resource is a replacement from the old azurerm_virtual_machine resource. I even had tried to do reinstalling Office 365, using both the app store version and the standalone version, the same problem still persisted. azurerm_windows_virtual_machine to create a Windows VM.With AzCLI or Azure Portal, this is more transparent. This is necessary with Terraform to ensure the VM gets an IP address from the right subnet. At the top of the file we have the following, the important value here is 'bucketname' which will configure a unique S3 bucket which will be used by your. Lets take a look at this (main.tf) in more detail. azurerm_network_interface to create a NIC for the VM. The main.tf contains the main Terraform configuration file that will deploy resources, using values that are contained in the variables.tf.terraform -install-autocomplete Before we continue, you need to download and install the Docker Desktop for Mac from the. azurerm_subnet to deploy a subnet to the previously created vNet. Similar to Windows, the easiest way to install Terraform on Mac is to use HomeBrew, the package manager for Mac. Then install the terraform autocomplete package using the below command.azurerm_virtual_network to deploy and an Azure vNet.azurerm_resource_group to create a Resource Group. ![]() The provider is constantly updated with fixes and new features, and we’ll be using the following resources: The Terraform Azure provider is our starting point to understand what can be done when deploying Azure VMs with Terraform. Today, I wanted to explore that portion in a bit more depth. As part of that blog post, I deployed an Azure VM and ran a script on it to deploy Active Directory Domain Services. The other day I published a comprehensive blog post about deploying gMSA on AKS with Terraform. ![]()
