Use Existing Resources with Data Sources in Terraform and Azure

Video Description

Sometimes it’s necessary to use resources that already exist with a Terraform deployment. In this video, we go over Terraform Data Source, a way to reference existing Azure resources without importing them into Azure to be managed. A VM is deployed and added to an existing VNet for the example. This video also reviews sensitive arguments in variables, adding features to the Provider block and using a terraform.tfvars file. 00:00 - Start 02:24 - Windows Server Module 03:13 - Sensitive Argument 04:01 - Provider Features 05:14 - Data Source 06:38 - terraform.tfvars 07:53 - Deploy the Resource LINKS: Zero to Hero with Azure Virtual Desktop https://www.udemy.com/course/zero-to-hero-with-windows-virtual-desktop/?referralCode=B2FE49E6FCEE7A7EA8D4 Hybrid Identity with Windows AD and Azure AD https://www.udemy.com/course/hybrid-identity-and-azure-active-directory/?referralCode=7F62C4C6FD05C73ACCC3 Terraform Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnWpsLZNgHzVVslxs8Bwq19Ng0ff4XlFv Code on Github https://github.com/tsrob50/TerraformExamples Blog https://www.ciraltos.com/use-existing-resources-with-data-sources-in-terraform-and-azure/ Terraform Provider Site https://registry.terraform.io/
