This repository contains Terraform code to deploy Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) in a private subnet behind a load balancer, with SSH access through a bastion host.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Azure subscription
• Terraform installed (version >= x.x.x)
• Azure CLI installed (for managing Azure resources)

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo-name.git

2. Navigate to the cloned directory:

   cd your-repo-name

3. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

4. Create a terraform.tfvars file with the required variables. Here's an example:

   web_linuxvm_instance_count = 2

   Adjust the value of web_linuxvm_instance_count as needed.

5. Review and adjust the variables.tf file to configure other settings as per your requirements.

6. Review and adjust the main.tf file to customize resource names, sizes, etc., according to your preferences.

7. Apply the Terraform configuration:

   terraform apply

   This will create the Azure resources based on the specified configuration.

To access the VMs via SSH, you'll need to connect through the bastion host. Here's how:

1. Get the public IP address of the bastion host from the Azure Portal or using the Azure CLI.

2. SSH into the bastion host:

   ssh username@bastion-public-ip

3. Once connected to the bastion host, SSH into the desired VM(s) within the private subnet:

   ssh username@private-vm-ip

   Replace username with your username and private-vm-ip with the private IP address of the VM you want to connect to.

To avoid incurring costs, ensure to destroy the created Azure resources when they are no longer needed:

terraform destroy
