Use Existing Resources with Data Sources in Terraform and Azure

Sometimes it’s necessary to use resources that already exist with a Terraform deployment. In this video, we go over Terraform Data Source, a way to reference existing Azure resources without importing them into Azure to be managed. A VM is deployed and added to an existing VNet for the example. This video also reviews sensitive arguments in variables, adding features to the Provider block and using a terraform.tfvars file.

As soon as I heard "existing Azure resources as part of a Terraform deployment" I realised I had found the video I have been searching for. This series has been brilliant for getting to grips with Terraform, and I am really enjoying them. Thank you.

[@Ciraltos]

Glad I could help!

I like all your videos and a great fan . In case of Terraform you are explaining with some complex examples in all videos . If you could demonstrate it with a simple one it would be of great help

What do you do if you want to use this to deploy multiple servers or add more servers in the future?

[@yashhirulkar909]

Thankyou sir .! but if we have 2 subnets how to extract the name of both subnets using a data block? I am able to extract name of 1 subnet but unable to do when there are multiple subnets. Could you please help in this ?
