This is a demo of how to use Terraform to deploy resources to Azure, and lots of tricks and tips along the way that may not be obvious to the beginner.
A Github Codespaces environment is provided to allow you to run the code without needing to install anything on your local machine. If you do wish to work locally, you will need to install the Azure CLI and Terraform. Do note that I recommend using the Codespaces environment, as it is a consistent environment for everyone, and will make the workshop run smoother.
