In this lab, we will be deploying an Azure Application Service plan with a .NET Framework site with a Local Git content management setting.
If you are working with a DevOps team, you may encounter many requests to either set up a Web app or provide the DevOps team with a way to deploy their own.
By deploying the application with Terraform, you can set guidelines for naming conventions, code repo’s, service plan levels, and deployment locations.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Log into the Azure Portal and set up the Command Line Interface (CLI) for use.
- Open the CLI.
- Select Bash at the prompt.
- Click Show Advanced Settings. In the Azure portal, select the Command Line button at the top of the screen. Open the CLI. Here, select Bash when prompted. We then want to choose Show Advanced Settings. Choose the same Cloud Shell region as your lab provisioned Storage Account. Leave both the Resource Group and Storage Account as using the existing resources. In the File share section, enter a name for the account (for this example, we are using cloudcli ) and click the Attach Storage button. Once finished, we can continue.
- Once the command prompt is initialized, proceed to Task 2.
- Deploy a Web Application
To complete this exercise, please make sure you’ve completed Task 1 before completing the following:
- Use the code block found in the Additional Information and Resources section to create a
lab.tf
file and upload it to the CLI. - In the (resource
"azurerm_storage_account" "lab"
) declaration, you’ll need to edit theresource_group_name
value with the name generated by the lab. Additionally, you’ll need to enter a unique name for the storage account that will be used for the file share. The"provider"
statement has been added to the code, so you won’t need to create amain.tf
file to deploy the storage account. - Once the file has been uploaded, run
terraform init
. - Run
terraform plan
and review the output to confirm that Terraform will create the desired resource. Green plus signs will indicate the resources that need to be added. - Run
terraform apply
, answering yes to the prompt to continue. - Once Terraform completes the deployment, check the Azure Portal to confirm.
You’re done! Go ahead and shut down the lab.
