🔹 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 📦


1️⃣ 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 → 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 → 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀
Before deploying anything, Terraform needs to know which cloud provider to use.
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝘄𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿.

✅ Example:

𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 {
𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱_𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 {
𝗮𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗺 = {
source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
version = "~>3.0"
}
}
}

🔹 required_providers → Specifies the provider (azurerm).
🔹 source → HashiCorp’s Azure provider.
🔹 version → Ensures compatibility (optional but recommended).

2️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 → 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 + 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗗
After defining the provider, we configure its details.

✅ Example:

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 "𝗮𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗺" {
𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 {} # 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱
𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻_𝗶𝗱 = "𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗶𝗱" # 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹
}

🔹 features {} → Required (even if empty).
🔹 subscription_id → Specifies which Azure subscription to use (if needed).

💡 Without subscription_id, Terraform will use the default Azure subscription from az login.

3️⃣ 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺

✅ Example:

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "my_rg" {
name = "MyResourceGroup"
location = "East US"
}

🔹 resource → Declares a resource to be created.
🔹 azurerm_resource_group → Specifies the Azure Resource Group service.
🔹 my_rg → Local Terraform name (used for referencing).
🔹 name → The actual resource group name in Azure.
🔹 location → The Azure region where it will be deployed.

4️⃣ 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🏗
🔹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁 → Initializes Terraform in the working directory (downloads provider plugins, sets up backend).
🔹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗺𝘁 → Formats Terraform code for readability and best practices.
🔹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 → Checks for syntax errors and verifies the configuration is valid.
🔹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 → Shows the execution plan without applying changes.
🔹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 → Deploys or updates infrastructure resources.
🔹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆 → Deletes all managed infrastructure resources.

⚡️ I've spent over 4 years in DevOps and cloud.

➡️Here’s a summary of 10 brutal troubleshooting facts I’ve learned:

1) Check logs first, always – Logs contain the first clues; learn how to filter, search, and analyze them efficiently.

2) Trace the request flow – Understand how a request moves through the system to pinpoint failures faster.

3) Use process of elimination – Isolate components one by one to find the root cause instead of guessing.

4) Know the difference between infra and app issues – Is it a misconfigured server, network problem, or bad code?

5) Validate external dependencies – If your service relies on APIs, databases, or third-party tools, check their status.

6) Check system resource limits – Running out of memory, CPU, or disk can cause random failures.

7) Reproduce the issue in a test environment – If possible, recreate the failure to understand it better.

8) Keep a "known issues" doc – If something breaks often, document the fix so you (or others) don’t waste time.

9) Use health checks effectively – Proper liveness and readiness probes can detect and prevent hidden failures.

10) Know when to escalate – If you've checked the usual suspects and still can't fix it, don't waste time, get help.
