Building Azure infrastructure using Terraform and Terraform Enterprise Challenge Guide

Below is a series of "challenges" or guided exercises to help attendees learn about Terraform and how to use it to create Azure Resources. These are not meant the be "hands-on labs" or step-by-step guides. The goal is to provide a series of exercises that have an expected outcome. Some steps and code will be provided. In the end, the hands-on experience should lead to a deeper level of learning.

Prerequisites

• Azure account with access to deploy at least 10 cores and permissions to generate a service principal. A trail Azure account can be created for this event.
