     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. 
     9  
    10  ## outputs.tf
    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  ## variables.tf
    20  The `variables.tf` file contains all of the input parameters that the user can specify when deploying this Terraform template.
