Make Changes to Azure Infrastructure Using Terraform

Hey there, Gurus! Welcome to the lab! This lab will demonstrate how easy it is to manage and destroy infrastructure in Azure with Terraform. You, as an admin, are being asked to deploy a virtual network to Azure and then make some changes to the Azure infrastructure that has been deployed. You will then add a subnet to your test infrastructure and tags to the virtual network that specify the environment and team responsible for resource deployment. After testing the deployment, you will need to destroy all of the resources for the test infrastructure.
