This is an example of how to setup Terraform using modules. It also provides another example of how to not use modules. Both of these are for illustration purposes only to show the differences between moduels in Terraform.

The example application builds a Functions application with Application Insights and Azure SQL Server services connected together.

This depends on the system, but here I will show using Windows with Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL

The following commands will install Terraform for your shell.

wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.14.5/terraform_0.14.5_linux_amd64.zip -O terraform.zip
unzip terraform.zip
sudo cp terraform /usr/local/bin
terraform -version

This should show you the version of terraform you are running.

❯ terraform -version
Terraform v0.14.5

terraform init
terraform plan -out tf.plan -var-file values.tfvars
terraform apply tf.plan
