Terraform + Azure DevOps: Automate Azure Cloud Infra Setup

Video Description

In this video, you will learn how to create a Terraform CI/CD pipeline in Azure DevOps to automate infrastructure deployment on Azure cloud. This step-by-step tutorial covers integrating Terraform with Azure DevOps for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and continuous delivery. https://www.coachdevops.com/2023/09/how-to-automate-infra-setup-in-azure.html Pre-requisites: Azure subscription Azure DevOps organization and project Terraform Build & Release Tasks extension in Azure DevOps Terraform files created and stored in SCM for creating resources in Azure cloud Implementation Steps: Create a resource group first in Azure cloud Create storage account, container for Terraform to store state information in Azure cloud remotely. Create pipeline and add Terraform tasks Execute pipeline to deploy resources(App service plan and WebApp) in Azure cloud Verify resources are created in Azure cloud Confirm if the terraform.tfstate file is updated Create Resource Group in Azure cloud Login to Azure portal, Create a new RG, or you can skip this step if you already have existing group. Create Storage Account in Azure cloud Create a new resource, type storage account Create a container inside the storage account Select the storage account you just created, click on containers under Data storage enter a name for the container Create a pipeline in Azure DevOps Login to Azure Devops, select Pipelines, select use the classic editor to create a pipeline Configure Pipeline with tasks Add Terraform installer task to install Terraform on build agent Add Terraform task Configure the task enter storage account, container, key information as below: Add Terraform task for plan change the command to plan from drop down and also select azure subscription from drop down Add Terraform task for apply change the command to apply from drop down and also select azure subscription from drop down Now verify to make sure if we have correct values in each/every task. Now click on Save + Queue. Click on Save and Run This confirms that pipeline have successfully created resources in Azure cloud. You can login to Azure portal to see the resources - app service plan and web app. You can also verify terraform state info which has resources entry for all the resources created Click on Containers, mytfstatecontainer Click on terraform.tfstate Click on Edit to view the content of terraform state file Clean up resources created in Azure using the pipeline - destroy command change the command to destroy instead of apply from the drop down You can either add a new task for destroy or modify to destroy from apply in the existing task. Now save the pipeline and run the pipeline. check the output of destroy task Check terraform.tfstate file after destroy.
