today i will be sharing a bit on my experience dealing with terraform on deploying resource on azure.
My problem on building these terraform is to enable boot diagnostic for azure vm .
i try to dig into terraform documentation but seem like it just appear on description without any sample, so i think i would share the way to do that here. Lets start
1. Create a storage account for vm/boot diagnostic purposes
resource "azurerm_storage_account" "hub-core-vmdiag" {
name = "azusgcorestrdiagnostic01"
location = azurerm_resource_group.azusg-core-vnet-rg.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.azusg-core-vnet-rg.name
account_tier = "Standard"
account_replication_type = "LRS"
}
2. Create a VM
resource "azurerm_network_interface" "AD01-nic" {
name = "AD01-nic"
location = azurerm_resource_group.azusg-core-vnet-rg.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.azusg-core-vnet-rg.name
enable_ip_forwarding = true
ip_configuration {
name = "AD01-ipconfig"
subnet_id = azurerm_subnet.core-share-subnet.id
private_ip_address_allocation = "Static"
private_ip_address = "172.30.0.197"
}
// tags {
// environment = local.prefix-core
//}
}
resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "AD01-vm" {
name = "AD01"
location = azurerm_resource_group.azusg-core-vnet-rg.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.azusg-core-vnet-rg.name
network_interface_ids = [azurerm_network_interface.AD01-nic.id]
vm_size = "Standard_F4s"
storage_image_reference {
publisher = "MicrosoftWindowsServer"
offer = "WindowsServer"
sku = "2019-Datacenter"
version = "latest"
}
storage_os_disk {
name = "AD01-osdisk"
caching = "ReadWrite"
create_option = "FromImage"
managed_disk_type = "Standard_LRS"
}
os_profile {
computer_name = "AD01"
admin_username = "xxxxxxx"
admin_password = "xxxxxx"
}
os_profile_windows_config{}
}
3. Add boot diagnostic option into your code (after the os profile)
os_profile_windows_config{}
boot_diagnostics{
enabled = true
storage_uri = "Https://${azurerm_storage_account.hub-core-vmdiag.name}
.blob.core.windows.net"
}
you are done, now after you run terraform apply, this vm will be created, boot diagnostic will be enable with this storage account.
Happy testing and see you all again.
