Deploying Todo List Application With Terraform

In this task, I have created an Azure Virtual Machine using Terraform and deployed a ToDo List application using a VM extension. The Terraform configuration will create all necessary resources, including a resource group, storage account, network security group, virtual network, subnet, public IP, and the virtual machine itself.

Prerequisites

To run this project, Terraform and Azure CLI must be installed and configured on your machine.

Steps to run the project

1. Fork this Repository

2. Create a resource group and storage account for state

• Using CLI create resource group:

  az group create --name <tfstate_resource_group_name> --location uksouth
  

• Create Storage Account:

  az storage account create \
  --name <storageaccountname> \
  --resource-group <tfstate_resource_group_name> \
  --location uksouth \
  --sku Standard_LRS \
  --encryption-services blob
  

• Create container:

  az storage container create \
  --name tfstate \
  --account-name <storageaccountname> \
  --resource-group <tfstate_resource_group_name> \
  --auth-mode login
  

3. Adjust variables with your data if needed:

• variables.tf file in root folder:
  • location
  • resource_group_name
  • virtual_network_name
  • vnet_address_prefix
  • subnet_name
  • subnet_address_prefix
  • network_security_group_name
  • public_ip_address_name
  • vm_name
  • vm_size
  • ssh_key_public
  • dns_label

8. Initialize and Apply the Configuration

9. Verify the Deployment

• Access the virtual machine using the public IP address.
• Verify the application is running by visiting the public IP in a web browser.
