Deploying a Docker Container on Azure using Terraform

This repository contains a Terraform configuration to deploy a Docker container on Azure. The configuration creates an Azure Resource Group, an Azure Container Group, and deploys a specified Docker image into the container group.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed before proceeding:

• Terraform
• Azure CLI
• An Azure subscription

Setup

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/dinethsiriwardana/Terraform-configuration-to-deploy-an-Azure-Web-App-with-GitHub.git
   cd Terraform-configuration-to-deploy-an-Azure-Web-App-with-GitHub

2. Update the variables in the terraform.tfvars file or pass them during runtime:

   subscription_id = "<your_azure_subscription_id>"

3. Replace the Docker image in the Terraform configuration with your image:

   image  = "dinethsiriwardana/slcitiesfront:latest"

Steps to Deploy

1. Authenticate with Azure:

   az login

2. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

3. Validate the configuration (optional):
