Terraform azure authentication

[#1]

Hello,
I’m planning to create terraform spec templates, for creating VM in azure.
What is the best way to “feed” terraform with these credentials. Can you help me ?

regards,
Matthieu

Hi, as well as Morpheus vars and custom options you can also access Cypher within Terraform spec templates to read at point of execution.

To add to Ollie’s note, there are a few ways to put a tfvars file.

The easiest is navigating to the cloud, and selecting the Profiles tab. Here you can add a cloud specific tfvars.

The other way is just creating the tfvars secret type and referencing this at time of deployment.

Thank you so much for your answers. I was planning to use cyphers. Can we use the functionnalities you ar mentionning @cbunge, with spec templates ?

Hi @Matthieu - Yes you can use these with a spec template by adding them to either the layout

or at the cloud level using a tfvars Cloud profile.
