Verification

Live-tested

Really deployed to a cloud sandbox, verified against its outputs and assertions, then destroyed - with the teardown confirmed.

Conformance

  • Static validation (fmt · validate · tflint)
  • Security scan clean (Checkov)
  • Plan test superseded by live test

Documentation

azure-virtual-machine

Status: static-validated, live-test pending. Ships under live-test quarantine until promoted by the Azure live lane. Schema is validated against the azurerm v4 provider docs.

A fully self-contained general-purpose Linux VM on Azure. One tofu apply creates everything — resource group, virtual network, subnet, NSG, NIC, an optional public IP and the VM — and tofu destroy removes all of it (including the resource group). Bring your own bootstrap via custom_data, or deploy a plain VM and configure it later. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), azurerm provider >= 4.0, < 5.0.

What it provisions

  • azurerm_resource_group (created and destroyed by this module)
  • azurerm_virtual_network + azurerm_subnet
  • azurerm_network_security_group — SSH (ssh_port) allowed only from allowed_source_cidr, plus an explicit DenyAllInbound; associated at both the subnet and the NIC (defense-in-depth)
  • azurerm_network_interface (+ NSG association)
  • optional azurerm_public_ip (Standard, static; create_public_ip)
  • azurerm_linux_virtual_machine (SSH-key-only, system-assigned identity, optional cloud-init bootstrap)

Secure defaults

  • SSH-key auth only — disable_password_authentication = true; a valid admin_ssh_public_key is required.
  • No open ingress by default — allowed_source_cidr is required (no default) and gates SSH; a catch-all rule denies everything else inbound.
  • System-assigned managed identity for least-privilege role grants, consumed by workloads on the VM via the Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) at 169.254.169.254 (which requires the Metadata: true request header).
  • OS disk encrypted at rest with platform-managed keys (always on in Azure); optional host-based encryption via encryption_at_host_enabled.
  • Optional Trusted Launch (Secure Boot + vTPM) for capable VM sizes (secure_boot_enabled / vtpm_enabled, off by default so the cheapest B1s size always applies).
