Provisioning SonarQube Server on an Azure Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM with Terraform

---

Instructions

• Install Azure CLI

Linux:

curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

Windows (Powershell):

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindows -OutFile .\AzureCLI.msi; Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I AzureCLI.msi /quiet'; rm .\AzureCLI.msi

MacOS

brew update && brew install azure-cli

• Authenticate to your Azure account:

(You should get your subscription ID after running it. You will need to save it for the next step)

az login

• Create an Azure Service Principal (<subscription_id> should be substituted for the ID you got previously)

az ad sp create-for-rbac --role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/<subscription_id>"

You will get some values you will need to save somewhere

• Log in with the Service Principal(The name, password, and tenant values from the previous step will be used here.)

az login --service-principal -u <service_principal_name> -p "<service_principal_password>" --tenant "<service_principal_tenant>"

• Set your Azure subscription (useful if you have multiple accounts)

az account set --subscription="<subscription_id>"

• Create a storage account for the Terraform State storage (Substitute the $ variables with names of your choosing)

az group create --name $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --location $location

az storage account create --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME --sku Standard_LRS --encryption-services blob

az storage account keys list --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --account-name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME --query [0].value -o tsv.

This will give you an access key $ACCOUNT_KEY you will need to keep for the next step.

az storage container create --name $CONTAINER_NAME --account-name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME --account-key $ACCOUNT_KEY

• Rename the terraform.tfvars.example to terraform.tfvars and edit backend.tf to contain the required values

• Running the Script

terraform init

terraform plan

terraform apply -auto-approve

Wait for a few minutes and then you can visit the IP Address displayed from Terraform apply on a web browser

• Destroy the infrastructure

terraform destroy -auto-approve
