Changes to the ARM template that may have occurred since the creation of this example may not be reflected in this Terraform template. 4 5 This template creates a new Azure Search Service. 6 7 If you are unclear as to what parameters are allowed you can check the [Azure Search Management REST API docs on MSDN](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn832687.aspx). 8 9 ## main.tf 10 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 12 ## outputs.tf 13 This data is outputted when `terraform apply` is called, and can be queried using the `terraform output` command. 14 15 ## provider.tf 16 You may leave the provider block in the `main.tf`, as it is in this template, or you can create a file called `provider.tf` and add it to your `.gitignore` file. 17 18 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. 19 20 ## terraform.tfvars 21 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. 22 23 If you are committing this template to source control, please insure that you add this file to your `.gitignore` file. 24 25 ## variables.tf 26 The `variables.tf` file contains all of the input parameters that the user can specify when deploying this Terraform template. 27 28
