Launch Secure Azure Infrastructure with Terraform: My Open Source Starter Kit

Daniel Ntim-Boakye — Wed, 14 May 2025 09:05:59 +0000

Setting up secure infrastructure in the cloud can be overwhelming. I created an open-source Azure Terraform Starter Kit to make it easier for developers and teams to get started with real-world Azure deployments.

What’s in the Kit?

Terraform modules for Azure: VNet, subnets, VMs, NSGs, storage, and Key Vault
GitHub Actions pipeline for validating and deploying code
Modular structure with examples you can customize
Best practices for security and tagging

GitHub Repo

Check out the full source code
Here’s how the components connect:

A Resource Group provisions a Virtual Network
Two subnets: one for app servers, one for database servers
VMs in each subnet are protected by their own Network Security Groups
A Storage Account and Key Vault are also deployed for logs and secrets

Why I Built It

To make Azure easier for developers learning Terraform
To follow best practices without starting from scratch
To contribute something useful to the cloud community

Try It Out


bash
git clone https://github.com/Danielconto/azure-terraform-starter-kit
cd examples/basic-network
terraform init
terraform apply
