Create 2 Virtual Machines under a Load balancer and configures Load Balancing rules for the VMs

This Terraform template was based on this Azure Quickstart Template. Changes to the ARM template may have occured since the creation of this example may not be reflected here.

This template allows you to create 2 Virtual Machines under a Load balancer and configure a load balancing rule on Port 80. This template also deploys a Storage Account, Virtual Network, Public IP address, Availability Set, and Network Interfaces.

main.tf

The main.tf file contains the actual resources that will be deployed. It also contains the Azure Resource Group definition and any defined variables.

outputs.tf

This data is outputted when terraform apply is called, and can be queried using the terraform output command.

provider.tf

Azure requires that an application is added to Azure Active Directory to generate the client_id, client_secret, and tenant_id needed by Terraform (subscription_id can be recovered from your Azure account details). Please go here for full instructions on how to create this to populate your provider.tf file.

terraform.tfvars

If a terraform.tfvars file is present in the current directory, Terraform automatically loads it to populate variables. We don't recommend saving usernames and password to version control, but you can create a local secret variables file and use -var-file to load it.

If you are committing this template to source control, please insure that you add this file to your .gitignore file.

variables.tf

The variables.tf file contains all of the input parameters that the user can specify when deploying this Terraform template.
