This repo is to provide a consistent interface to Azure in order to allocate and configure VM resources.
Open a terminal to the dev container specified by DevEnv.Dockerfile. This container has an environment variable that the azure commandline will use to get access to the azure login service (REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE). Run the following command to login with your CTC azure credentials:
az login --use-device-code
- Now you need to initialize terraform in your environment in order to plan or apply and terraform changes.
terraform init
- The bottom-line-innovations-rg was already created for us by the DSE team. We need to import it to match our terraform file.
terraform import azurerm_resource_group.abd-de-rg /subscriptions/378079de-70e6-423f-bf1a-93947a02ee38/resourceGroups/bottom-line-innovations-rg
- At this point, you can now run terraform plan. It will look for .tf files in the current directory, merge them, and then try to operate on the merged file.
terraform plan
- You can look at the output and decide if you want to deploy the changes.
terraform apply
- You may have to reauthenticate at times if you get an error that looks like this:
root@610d5ba07933:/workspaces/terraform# terraform apply
Error: Error building account: Error getting authenticated object ID: Error parsing json result from the Azure CLI: Error waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1
on provider.tf line 1, in provider "azurerm":
1: provider "azurerm" {
Simply run az login again!
You can query azure for VM information by first setting the subscription you are using:
az account set --subscription 378079de-70e6-423f-bf1a-93947a02ee38
Now you can query for VM information:
az vm list-ip-addresses
There are a couple of python scripts to help you parse the json output from the list-ip-addresses command:
az vm list-ip-addresses | python select_vm_info.py
az vm list-ip-addresses | python select_vm_info.py | python generate_vm_ssh_config.py
The latter command will give you the text to copy and paste into your ~/.ssh/config file.
az vm image list --all --output-table --publisher MicrosoftWindowsDesktop
az vm image list --all --output-table --publisher Canonical
