Lesson1: How to Deploy Azure Resource group as code using Terraform

To create an Azure Resource Group using Terraform, you'll need to define a resource block in your Terraform configuration file, specifying the azurerm_resource_group resource type. You'll need to provide a name and location for the resource group. 

Step-by-Step guide:

1. Install Terraform: If you haven't already, download and install Terraform from HashiCorp.

2. Set up Azure Credentials: Configure Terraform to authenticate with your Azure subscription. This can be done through the Azure CLI, service principals, or managed identities. 

3. Create a Terraform Configuration File: Create a file (e.g., main.tf) and add the following code: 

   
   

   terraform {

         required_providers {

           azurerm = {

             source = "hashicorp/azurerm"

             version = "~> 3.0"

           }

         }

       }

   
   

       provider "azurerm" {

         features {}

       }

   
   

       resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {

         name = "example-resource-group"

         location = "East US"

       }

4. The terraform block specifies the Azure provider.

5. The provider block configures the provider.

6. The resource block defines the resource group. You'll need to replace "example-resource-group" with your desired name and "East US" with your desired location. 

After applying the changes, you can verify the resource group creation in the Azure portal.
