  1. Create a directory in which to test the sample Terraform code and make it the current directory.

  2. Create a file named providers.tf and insert the following code:

    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/../terraform_samples/quickstart/101-resource-group/providers.tf":::

  3. Create a file named main.tf and insert the following code:

    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/../terraform_samples/quickstart/101-resource-group/main.tf":::

  4. Create a file named variables.tf and insert the following code:

    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/../terraform_samples/quickstart/101-resource-group/variables.tf":::

  5. Create a file named outputs.tf and insert the following code:

    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/../terraform_samples/quickstart/101-resource-group/outputs.tf":::

Initialize Terraform

[!INCLUDE terraform-init.md]

Create a Terraform execution plan

[!INCLUDE terraform-plan.md]

Apply a Terraform execution plan

[!INCLUDE terraform-apply-plan.md]

Verify the results

Azure CLI

  1. Get the Azure resource group name.

    resource_group_name=$(terraform output -raw resource_group_name)

  2. Run az group show to display the resource group.

    az group show --name $resource_group_name

Azure PowerShell

    $resource_group_name=$(terraform output -raw resource_group_name)

  2. Run Get-AzResourceGroup to display the resource group.

    Get-AzResourceGroup -Name $resource_group_name

Clean up resources
