Azure Setup

With the cloud environment set use az login to authenticate with your own credentials and MFA before running Terraform. ./deploy.py will automatically figure out the rest.

Usage

To run:

usage: deploy.py [-h] -d DEPLOUMENT [-c CLOUD] [-s SECTION]
                 [-a [ACTION [ACTION ...]]] [-t TARGET] [-r RESOURCE] [-v]
                 [-pu] [-us UNLOCK_STATE] [-ss STATE_SNAPSHOT] [-p]
                 [-po PACKER_OS]

Run Terraform Wrapper

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

required deployment commands:
  -d DEPLOYMENT, --deployment DEPLOUMENT
                        Target Deployment to Terraform against

optional enviornment commands:
  -c CLOUD, --cloud CLOUD
                        Cloud to Target
  -s SECTION, --section SECTION
                        Section to target (usefull for large projects when
                        state is broken into multiple files.)
  -a [ACTION [ACTION ...]], --action [ACTION [ACTION ...]]
                        Available terraform actions; plan, apply, taint,
                        untaint, state, import
  -t TARGET, --target TARGET
                        Specify specific modules for the selected --action
  -r RESOURCE, --resource RESOURCE
                        ResourceID which is used if doing a state import.
  -v, --verbose         Show verbose outputs

optional terraform commands:
  -pu, --plugin_update  Specify this parameter if you wish to upgrade/validate
                        terraform plugins
  -us UNLOCK_STATE, --unlock_state UNLOCK_STATE
                        Use this command to unlock state, --unlock_state
                        <lock_id>
  -ss STATE_SNAPSHOT, --state_snapshot STATE_SNAPSHOT
                        Default enabled will take a snapshot of the state on
                        any action except plan.

optional packer commands:
  -p, --packer          Specify this parameter along with -d to run a packer
                        build in a deployment
  -po PACKER_OS, --packer_os PACKER_OS
                        Specify this parameter if -p is used. Available
                        options are under /packer/os/<filename>

Action is plan, apply, destroy, iterate, or import. The default action is plan. An 'are you sure?' prompt is presented before you do an apply.

Cloud is azure. The default provider is azure.

Deployment is sus1, sus2, etc. There is a subdirectory per deployment containing the following files:

• deployment.tfvars - defines the Azure subscription_id, 'sus1va1' name prefix and the deployment plan (how many of each instance type to create; what instance size; what disk size; what storage account type)
• secrets.tfvars - optional: define any variables that shouldn't be committed to git.

Target is used when you want to focus on a specific piece of infrastructure, e.g. azurerm_network_security_group.<environment> or module.<environment>.azurerm_virtual_machine.vm.

State Backup:

Local - Local state files by default get a single backup. When this wrapper is used your terraform.tfstate file will create a snapshot anytime state will be manipulated and place it in the state folder under the target environment. Snapshots older than 30 days will be auto purged.

Remote (azure) - Remote state files are stored in blob storage. When this wrapper is used your terraform.tfstate file will create a blob snapshot anytime state will be manipulated. Snapshots older than 30 days will be auto removed using Azure Storage Lifecycle Management which is configured in remote_state.tf.

Common Terraform Commands:

validate

./deploy.py -d us1 -a validate

plan

./deploy.py -d us1

apply

./deploy.py -d us1 -a apply

apply w/target

./deploy.py -d us1 -a apply -t module.rg-test.azurerm_resource_group.rg[0]

apply w/target(s)

./deploy.py -d us1 -a apply -t module.rg-test.azurerm_resource_group.rg[0] -t module.rg-test.azurerm_resource_group.rg["test"]

apply w/target against a tf file.

./deploy.py -d us1 -t resource_groups.tf

state remove

./deploy.py -d us1 -a state rm -t module.rg-test.azurerm_resource_group.rg[0]

state mv

./deploy.py -d us1 -a state mv -t module.rg-test.azurerm_resource_group.rg[0] -t module.rg-test2.azurerm_resource_group.rg[0]

import

./deploy.py -d us1 -a import -t module.rg-test.azurerm_resource_group.rg[0] -r /subscriptions/75406810-f3e6-42fa-97c6-e9027e0a0a45/resourceGroups/DUS1VA1-test

taint

./deploy.py -d us1 -a taint -t null_resource.image

untaint

./deploy.py -d us1 -a untaint -t null_resource.image

plan (plan file out)

./deploy.py -d us2 -a plan -pf <path>/<fileName>.plan

show (plan file)

./deploy.py -d us2 -a show -pf <path>/<existing fileName>

apply (plan file) Warning when using a plan file with a apply action there is no prompt to approve.

./deploy.py -d us2 -a apply -pf <path>/<existing fileName>

unlock a remote state file

If you receive this message you can unlock using the below command. Grab the ID under Lock Info:
