Infrastructure Setup

📌 Infrastructure Setup with Terraform

🛠 Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

• Terraform installed on your system
• Azure Subscription with necessary permissions
• Azure CLI authenticated
• Ansible installed (for configuration management)
• GitHub Actions enabled (for automation)

🚀 Setting Up the Infrastructure

Follow these steps to initialize and deploy your Terraform-managed cloud environment:

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/XxrzxX/ChatBotApp-Azure-Infra
cd ChatBotApp-Azure-Infra

2️⃣ Initialize Terraform

cd Terraform 
terraform init

This downloads and configures Terraform providers required for deployment.

3️⃣ Validate Configuration

terraform validate

Ensures your Terraform syntax and configurations are error-free.

4️⃣ Plan Deployment

terraform plan

Generates an execution plan, showing all changes Terraform will apply.

5️⃣ Apply Infrastructure Changes

terraform apply -auto-approve

Creates or updates the cloud resources as defined in your configuration.

6️⃣ Verify Resources

After successful deployment, confirm the infrastructure using Azure CLI:

az resource list --resource-group <your-resource-group>
