POC Azure Data Factory Resource Provision

Installations Requirements

Azure CLI

Install az CLI

Follow these steps AZ CLI

Terraform CLI

Install terraform CLI

Link Terraform CLI

Check if az and terraform are installed

Open your command line and type for Windows:

terraform -version
az -version

TroubleShoot Terraform or Az CLI Error on cmd AFTER installation 👾

Solution:

Add the .exe terraform file path to your Environment Variables path

Add the .exe az file path to your Environment Variables path

then RESTART your PC 😮‍💨

Running Your CODE (vscode)

1. az login

   • If there are many Subscriptions in Tenant or didnt specify Subscription_ID under the provider block *az account set --subscription "subcription id or Name"

2. Terraform Commands to RUN your CODE

Main commands [_sequence_]:
  init          Prepare your working directory for other commands
  validate      Check whether the configuration is valid
  plan          Show changes required by the current configuration
  apply         Create or update infrastructure
  destroy       Destroy previously-created infrastructure

  >to save the plan [so that terraform could guarantee to take exactly those actions if you run "terraform apply"] run _"terraform plan -out plan.out_

  >**ONLY FOR TESTING ENV** run "_terraform apply -auto-approve_" to automatically approve the resourses deployments

  > Run "_terraform apply "plan.out"_ after runnning the plan.out command

  >terraform lock file dependencies inconsistent with current configarations, Run : `terraform init -upgrade`

ABOUT TERRAFORM

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

The key features of Terraform are:

Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.

Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.

Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.

Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
