## azuredeploy.tf
The `azuredeploy.tf` file contains the actual resources that will be deployed. It also contains the Azure Resource Group definition and any defined variables.
## outputs.tf
This data is outputted when `terraform apply` is called, and can be queried using the `terraform output` command.
## provider.tf
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.
## terraform.tfvars
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.
## variables.tf
The `variables.tf` file contains all of the input parameters that the user can specify when deploying this Terraform template.
## .gitignore
If you are committing this template to source control, please insure that the following files are added to your `.gitignore` file.
```
terraform.tfstate*
terraform.tfvars
provider.tf*
```
