Terraform / Azure / Single vm

In this repository, you can find the Terraform scripts for managing a single vm on Azure.

Requirements

• Azure Account
• Terraform

Usage

### az cli is required - and you have to be logged in
az login

Before starting - please copy the example configuration and edit it according to your need. All parameters have some default value assigned except the admin_password.

cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars

When ready with configuration - you can build your vm :)

# to init terraform (required only once)
terraform init

# optionally (check the terraform docs for more details)
# terraform plan

# to create the vm
terraform apply

Finally, to remove created environment (and the whole resources group):

### to remove it
terraform destroy

Network ports

Followed ports have been added to the network configuration (network.tf) and are opened by default for each created vm:

Port	Description
22/tcp	ssh
80/tcp	http
443/tcp	https
53/udp	dns
1194/udp	OpenVpn

Please note that (except the ssh and port 22/tcp) the default vm doesn't contain any listening software on those ports (they have been added only for the convenience of the author according to the most often-used scenarios)!
