     3  This Terraform template was based on [this](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-2-vms-loadbalancer-lbrules) Azure Quickstart Template. Changes to the ARM template may have occured since the creation of this example may not be reflected here.

     5  This template allows you to create 2 Virtual Machines under a Load balancer and configure a load balancing rule on Port 80. This template also deploys a Storage Account, Virtual Network, Public IP address, Availability Set, and Network Interfaces.

     7  ## main.tf
     8  The `main.tf` file contains the actual resources that will be deployed. It also contains the Azure Resource Group definition and any defined variables.

    11  This data is outputted when `terraform apply` is called, and can be queried using the `terraform output` command.
    12  
    13  ## provider.tf
    14  Azure requires that an application is added to Azure Active Directory to generate the `client_id`, `client_secret`, and `tenant_id` needed by Terraform (`subscription_id` can be recovered from your Azure account details). Please go [here](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/) for full instructions on how to create this to populate your `provider.tf` file.
    15  
    16  ## terraform.tfvars
    17  If a `terraform.tfvars` file is present in the current directory, Terraform automatically loads it to populate variables. We don't recommend saving usernames and password to version control, but you can create a local secret variables file and use `-var-file` to load it.
    18  
    19  If you are committing this template to source control, please insure that you add this file to your .gitignore file.

    21  ## variables.tf
    22  The `variables.tf` file contains all of the input parameters that the user can specify when deploying this Terraform template.
