Terraform with Azure Government

This repository shows you how to use Terraform to manage resources in Azure Government.

Important Note This sample embeds the azurerm provider configuration in the terraform file itself. This isn't a best practice, especially if checking in these files into a source code repository.

Instructions

1. Create your own copy of terraform-sample.tf

   cp terraform-sample.tf.template terraform-sample.tf

2. Log in to Azure Government with the Azure CLI

   # Log in
   az cloud set -n AzureUSGovernment
   az login

3. Create an Azure AD service principal for Terraform and get all the values required for Terraform to communicate with Azure Government

   # Get your subscription
   SUBSCRIPTION=$(az account show --query id -o tsv)
   TENANT_ID=$(az account show --query tenantId -o tsv)
   
   echo "Subscription: $SUBSCRIPTION"
   echo "TenantId: $TENANT_ID"
   
   # Create an Azure AD Service Principal for Terraform
   # NOTE: You'll need appId and the password
   # from the output of this command.
   az ad sp create-for-rbac -n Terraform -role Contributor -scopes /subscriptions/$SUBSCRIPTION

4. Update the values in the provider "azure" section of terraform-sample.tf.

5. Initialize Terraform

   terraform init

6. Deploy to Azure Government using Terraform.

   terraform apply
