For this project, you will write a Packer template and a Terraform template to deploy a customizable, scalable web server in Azure.

1. Clone this repository

2. Create your infrastructure as code

3. Update this README to reflect how someone would use your code.

1. Create an Azure Account
2. Install the Azure command line interface
3. Install Packer
4. Install Terraform

Create the Policy Definition:

az policy definition create --name 'tagging-policy' --display-name 'deny-creation-untagged-resources' --description 'This policy ensures all indexed resources in your subscription have tags and deny deployment if they do not' --rules ./project1-tagging-policy.json  --mode All

az policy assignment create --name 'tagging-policy' --display-name 'deny-creation-untagged-resources' --policy tagging-policy

az policy assignment list

✔️ Open Azure portal Bash Cloud Shell then upload server.json

✔️ Create a Server Image using below packer command

packer build server.json

✔️ View Images

az image list

Go to folder cd project1-IaC/

Our Terraform template will allow us to reliably create, update, and destroy our infrastructure

Customize vars.tf

Variables from vars.tf are called from mains.tf, for example the variable prefix is called as:

${var.prefix}

In vars.tf, the description and value is assigned in the following manner:

variable "prefix" {
  description = "The prefix which should be used for all resources in this example"
  default = "quyetnn-project1"
}

See all variable in vars.tf

1. Initializing Working Directories

terraform init

2. Create infrastructure plan

terraform plan -out solution.plan

3. Deploy the infrastructure plan

terraform apply "solution.plan"

4. View infrastructure

terraform show

Azure Portal Azuredevops resource created by terraform ✔️ View in Azure Portal

5. Destroy infrastructure (when completed) using clean_resources.sh to delete all resources except Azuredevops resource group

terraform state list | while read line
do 
if [[ $line == azurerm_resource_group* ]]; then
echo $line " is a resource group and will not be deleted!"
else
echo "deleting: " $line
terraform destroy -target $line -auto-approve
fi
done

Using terraform state list command to skip destroying azurerm_resource_group which lab user can not delete it.

6. Delete images(when completed)

az image delete -g Azuredevops -n MyPackerImage

az policy assignment list
az image list
terraform plan -out solution.plan
terraform apply "solution.plan"
terraform show
