Terraform: 101-vm-with-rdp-port
Create a VM with an RDP port
Description
This is a conversion of ARM template 101-vm-with-rdp-port from the repository azure\azure-quickstart-templates to Terraform configuration.
This configuration demonstrates how to create a NAT rule in loadbalancer to allow RDP to a vm, and it will deploy the following resources…
Note:
If the specified resource group is already exist then the script will not continue with the deployment. If you want to deploy the resources to the existing resource group, then import the resource group to state before deployment.
