Failure on Plan Stage

[tevert]

Hi cdeli!

When running Terraform in a CI environment, the recommended practice is to configure a service principal - see the azurerm provider docs: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/

Note that in the example there, they plop the connection info right in tf files. This is probably a security no-no for most people, so I'd instead configure those using variables, and then passing those in as additional command line args (https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/variables.html).

Then, when you're passing the values in, pass them as VSTS Release variables. When you setup the VSTS variables, mark them secure to hide the values.

Let me know if there's problems with that approach!

Yep that worked. I can't believe I forgot that in my build. I just added the variables right into the file, I will go through and make them in VSTS now that I know this works.

Also how do you get the "yes" to translate into the apply stage?

[cdeli]

Nevermind, fat fingered my switch to apply it. Thanks for the help!

No worries, glad it worked!
