Clone [Rancher Quickstart](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) to a folder using `git clone https://github.com/rancher/quickstart`. + +1. Go into the Azure folder containing the terraform files by executing `cd quickstart/azure`. + +1. Rename the `terraform.tfvars.example` file to `terraform.tfvars`. + +1. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables: + - `azure_subscription_id` - Microsoft Azure Subscription ID + - `azure_client_id` - Microsoft Azure Client ID + - `azure_client_secret` - Microsoft Azure Client Secret + - `azure_tenant_id` - Microsoft Azure Tenant ID + - `rancher_server_admin_password` - Admin password for created Rancher server + +2. **Optional:** Modify optional variables within `terraform.tfvars`. +See the [Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) and the [Azure Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart/tree/master/azure) for more information. +Suggestions include: + - `azure_location` - Microsoft Azure region, choose the closest instead of the default + - `prefix` - Prefix for all created resources + - `instance_type` - Compute instance size used, minimum is `Standard_DS2_v2` but `Standard_DS2_v3` or `Standard_DS3_v2` could be used if within budget + - `ssh_key_file_name` - Use a specific SSH key instead of `~/.ssh/id_rsa` (public key is assumed to be `${ssh_key_file_name}.pub`) + +1. Run `terraform init`. + +1. Install the [RKE terraform provider](https://github.com/rancher/terraform-provider-rke), see [installation instructions](https://github.com/rancher/terraform-provider-rke#using-the-provider). + +1. To initiate the creation of the environment, run `terraform apply --auto-approve`. Then wait for output similar to the following: + + ``` + Apply complete! Resources: 16 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed. + + Outputs: + + rancher_node_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx + rancher_server_url = https://xx-xx-xx-xx.nip.io + workload_node_ip = yy.yy.yy.yy + ``` + +1. Paste the `rancher_server_url` from the output above into the browser. Log in when prompted (default username is `admin`, use the password set in `rancher_server_admin_password`). + +#### Result + +Two Kubernetes clusters are deployed into your Azure account, one running Rancher Server and the other ready for experimentation deployments. + +### What's Next? + +Use Rancher to create a deployment. For more information, see [Creating Deployments]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/quick-start-guide/workload). + +## Destroying the Environment + +1. From the `quickstart/azure` folder, execute `terraform destroy --auto-approve`. + +2. Wait for confirmation that all resources have been destroyed.
