Azure Storage Account Using Terraform

What does the terraform code look like to configure the redundancy strategy for the storage account?

To define the exact replication type for your Azure Storage Account, use the account_replication_type attribute in the resource block of azurerm_storage_account. Such as, account_replication_type = “LRS” will indicate a storage configuration which is to Locally Redundant Storage (LRS).

Can I build up my Azure Storage accounts using a single Terraform framework?

Yes, you can create numerous Microsoft Azure Storage Accounts by extending the azurerm_storage_account resource blocks into the Terraform configuration file. Each block serves as a separate account for every other one.

What is the proper way configuration should be done to my Terraform storage network rules and Azure Storage Account?

You can set network rules for your Azure storage account by including the network_rules block in the azurerm_storage_account resource among other attributes. In this phrase, you can set the IP address limit, virtual network subnet IDs and other miscellaneous network-related settings.

May I arrange Azure Storage Encryption using Terraform?

Yes, you can have the able_encrytion for your Azure Storage Account whuch you can set the enable_https_traffic_only argument to true in the azurerm_storage_account resource block. And also the service managed identity, enables authorized encrypted configurations by adding it into the identity block.

I would like to know how to export an existing Azure Storage Account and how it is passed to Terraform.

‘Importing an Azure Storage Account into Terraform through the terraform import command, follow by the resource address and the storage account resource ID, can be done.’ For example: terraform import azurerm_storage_account. account.storage_account/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/myRG/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/mystorage.

Cloud development has drastically altered the previously known reality of data storage and access, presently providing organizations of all sizes with scalable and cost-effective solutions. Microsoft Azure, one of the cloud computing platform’s leading services, provides data storage, which is Azure Storage and is a strong and secure one. While creating and properly configuring storage resources requires time and has a high potential for human error, especially when such processes have a high level of complexity, there is an automatic storage infrastructure provisioning option.

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that makes cloud provision of resources and management that involves multiple providers easier, such as Azure. In this way, you can verify reliability, reproducibility, and versioning processes for the Azure Storage systems by defining your infrastructure as code. In the following piece, we aim to walk you through the process required to create an Azure Storage Account via Terraform, as a means to digitalize your infrastructure automation and thus simplify the management of your cloud storage.
