Terraform Azure Virtual Machine Automation

---

Provisioning Virtual Machine and related resources in Azure Platform using Terraform as IaC tool to deploy it.

• The terraform.yml automates Continuous Integration (CI) executing terraform initialize, validate, plan, and performs Continuous Dilivery (CD) that executes terraform apply to provision resources as stated in main.tf.

• The workflow_dispatch.yml allows manual trigger towards deprovisioning of the resources for cost effectiveness.

• The terraform.tfvars allows setup for multiple environments.

• The backend configuration creates new Resource Group to avoid saving on runner's machine, enhancing security and effective team collaboration.

Note: It is important to Create TFState Backup Resource Group Prior to allow Terraform to initialize backend configuration.
