Azure - Terraform Template

Overview

To deploy these Terraform templates, and in addition to other requirements for Azure environments (for example, the platform key has been uploaded to your Azure Key Vault), the following additional resources require provisioning within the Azure environment:

It is expected that users who choose to use Terraform over the equivalent ARM template will have working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code using Terraform in Azure. Users should familiarise themselves with the official documentation before continuing:

• Azure official documentation for using Terraform.

• HashiCorpcorp official documentation for using Terraform on Azure.

Terraform template files can be found in the Downloads section of this article.

Created resources

• Container Instance
• Log Analytics
• IP Addresses

Prerequisites

Edit the template

Users should inspect the template in a text editor and ensure the values are as-expected before proceeding. In particular, the PLATFORM_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT environment variable should be edited to match the expected endpoint and region. See Environment Variables for more information.

Resources

This template is intended for users who are accustomed to setting up their own Kubernetes platforms and offers a degree of freedom that other templates (such as ARM) do not. As such, we cannot dictate which resources you may choose to use to build your CDC stack.

However, this template does require Azure Key Vault resources and permissions to the agent image on the Amazon ECR Public Gallery.

• Resource Group (Not required but highly recommended)
• Blob Storage
• Azure Key Vault secrets for the following:
  • Platform Key
  • Database passwords

User Access

You as a user are also expected to have access to certain details and permissions:

• Access to a valid Terraform installation.
• Access to a Matillion Hub account.
• CDC Agent Environment Variables (generated in Matillion Data Loader when creating a new agent).
• Matillion Data Loader Platform Key (generated once per Matillion Data Loader account the first time you make an agent).
• Access to Azure with the ability to create a stack on a billable account. You may require an administrator from your organisation to either give access or perform this process with you.
