Firstly, use <strong>YAML rather than traditional pipelines to create new pipelines.<\/strong><\/p><p>On the other hand, it&#8217;s better to use the command prompt than <strong>YAML<\/strong> tasks. This will give you a better understanding of how Terraform works. Make sure you are using the latest version of Terraform.<\/p><p>The Terraform documentation also recommends using partial configuration and using a Service Principal or Managed Service Identity for authentication. This second point concerns the non-interactive execution of Terraform, for example on a CI server. On the other hand, for local execution, you can use the Azure CLI.<\/p><p>Be sure to keep the pipeline variables in the form of secrets, so that they are encrypted. To go even further, you can use the<strong> Azure Key Vault service for even greater security and the ability to reuse secrets.<\/strong><\/p><p>Finally, create a custom role for the service principal used by Terraform. This will simplify the configuration of permissions such as the Key Vault access policy, without having to give the service principal the permissions of the owner role. In particular, it is important not to give Terraform permission to delete infrastructure, in order to comply with <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/how-to-choose-a-data-governance-course\">data protection<\/a> rules.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22f7bd7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"22f7bd7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5e728e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c5e728e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do you master Terraform and Azure DevOps?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abea3a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abea3a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you want to master Terraform, Azure and all the best DevOps tools, you can choose DataScientest training courses.
