Deploy an Azure Storage Account with Terraform

1. 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. Use the same location as your lab provided resource group. Leave both the Resource Group and Storage Account as the provided defaults. In the File share section, enter a name for the account (for this example, we are using console) and click the Attach Storage button. Once finished, we can continue.
2. Click the Create Storage button.
3. Once the command prompt is initialized, proceed to the next task.

1. Use the code block found in the Additional Information and Resources section to create a lab.tf file and upload it to the CLI.
2. In the resource "azurerm_storage_account" "lab" declaration, you'll need to edit the resource_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 a main.tf file to deploy the storage account.
3. Once the file has been uploaded, run terraform init.
4. 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.
5. Run terraform apply, answering yes to the prompt to continue.
6. Once Terraform completes the deployment, check the Azure Portal to confirm.

You're done! Go ahead and shut down the lab.
