ltc-linux-challenge > azure: issues noticed which was not stated in the readme file

[PhilipOyelegbin]

Hi LTC,

I noticed some setup issues in the first challenge that were not explicitly stated in the Azure readme file, which I have identified below.

• subscription ID is needed as a variable
  

• static IP allocation must be used when creating and assigning IP addresses using the "terraform apply" command, the snapshot is provided below.
  

Kindly check this for an updated readme document, thank you for the good job you are doing here at LTC.

@PhilipOyelegbin thank you for opening the issue. Let me check and will update this issue accordingly.

Encountering the same issues. While we wait for a fix, @PhilipOyelegbin have you found a workaround?

EDIT: I just changed "Dymanic" in line 42 to "Static", and was able to create the resource

Yes, I had to update the code which resolved it.

• First bug fix main.tf

# Configure the Azure provider
provider "azurerm" {
  features {}

  subscription_id = var.subscription_id
}

• Second bug fix main.tf

# Create a public IP
resource "azurerm_public_ip" "ctf_public_ip" {
  name                = "ctf-public-ip"
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.ctf_rg.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.ctf_rg.name
  allocation_method   = "Static"
  sku                 = "Standard"
}

Subscription ID Supporting reference: @PhilipOyelegbin

The following arguments are supported:

features - (Required) A features block as defined below which can be used to customize the behaviour of certain Azure Provider resources.

subscription_id - (Required) The Subscription ID which should be used. This can also be sourced from the ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID Environment Variable.

Note
The subscription_id property is required when performing a plan or apply operation, but is not required to run terraform validate.

Addition in azure/README.md: @rishabkumar7

Step 1: After az login, copy the Subscrption ID and paste it after Step 4: terraform apply -var="az_region=YOUR_AZURE_REGION"
