# VNET to VNET Peering
|
|
|
|
This template creates two VNETs in the same location, each containing a single subnet, and creates connections between them using VNET Peering.
|
|
|
|
## main.tf
|
|
The `main.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
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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` or any `.auto.tfvars` files are present in the current directory, Terraform automatically loads them 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 the `-var-file` flag or the `.auto.tfvars` extension to load it.
|
|
|
|
If you are committing this template to source control, please insure that you add this file to your `.gitignore` file.
|
|
|
|
## variables.tf
|
|
The `variables.tf` file contains all of the input parameters that the user can specify when deploying this Terraform template.
