Terraform Certified Associate with Azure & Jira — Lesson 2: Provisioning Azure Networking, Compute, and Resource Groups

Technical Scope

• Azure provider authentication and subscriptions
• Resource groups, regions, naming, and tagging
• Virtual networks, subnets, security groups, and routing
• Compute resources, identities, extensions, and outputs

Instructor Demonstration

Provision an Azure application environment from a ticket-defined request.

Applied Workshop

Create separate application and management subnets with documented acceptance tests.

1. Translate the scenario into configuration, access, state, pipeline, or module decisions.
2. Implement the change in a controlled workspace or repository.
3. Capture the plan, logs, outputs, policy results, and post-change checks.
4. Explain one safer or more maintainable alternative and its trade-off.

Validation Standard

Resources land in the intended subscription and region with required naming, tags, and access controls.

• The intended target, identity, environment, and state boundary are confirmed.
• The plan or execution evidence contains no unexplained destructive action.
• Security, reliability, maintainability, and operational ownership are reviewed.
• The final result can be reproduced from version-controlled inputs.

Failure Analysis

Fix subscription context, provider registration, region availability, network rules, and extension failure.

Learners isolate the smallest verified cause, correct it, rerun the relevant validation step, and record the preventive action in the course improvement log.
