Bootstrap

Copy and paste the below into the Azure Cloud Shell.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JimPaine/azure-terraform-bootstrapper/master/bootsrapper/main.tf -O main.tf \
  && terraform init \
  && terraform apply -var="resource_group_name=terraform" -var="resource_group_location=westeurope" -auto-approve

What it does

Aimed at accelerating the implementation of Terraform on Azure, this bootstrapper will;

Create a storage account for the remote state management
Create a Service Principal for terraform to use for CI / CD
Give the Service Principal owner access to the subscription so it can manage resources
Create a key vault
Add all the details about the service principal and the storage account as secrets in the key vault.

Getting Started

Now your environment is ready to run terraform on Azure lets use the included template to test it out.

Go to https://dev.azure.com and create an account if you haven't already.

Link to Key Vault

So we can use all the details created by the bootstrapper in a secure way, lets create a new variable group based on the key vault it created.

Navigate to Library
Create a new group
Ensure to call it Terraform as this is what the pipeline will look for! - Then select Link secrets from an Azure Key Vault as variables
Select the subscription and click Authorize
Select the Key Vault and Authorize
Select all secrets
Save
