	==Terraform For Azure==		==Terraform For Azure==
			When using terraform for an azure environment you will need to setup the environment differently.

			First, terraform will need a service principal to access the azure tenant to carry out the changes.

			To create the required configuration you will need to use the azure CLI:<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">
			az login
			</syntaxhighlight>it will show you the subscriptions your account has access to after login. Set the subscription you want to create the service principal in, make sure to save the output so you can use the appid and password to connect later on:<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">
			az account set --subscription "<subscription-id>"
			</syntaxhighlight>Create the service principal:<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">
			az ad sp create-for-rbac --role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>"
			</syntaxhighlight>you can then setup your environment with the details for the service principal. Alternatively you can save the details in the variables file for use later, however this is less secure:<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell" line="1">
			$Env:ARM_CLIENT_ID = "<APPID_VALUE>"
			$Env:ARM_CLIENT_SECRET = "<PASSWORD_VALUE>"
			$Env:ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID = "<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>"
			$Env:ARM_TENANT_ID = "<TENANT_VALUE>"
			</syntaxhighlight>once this is complete you can then build your main.tf configuration.
