# Azure Provider
|
|
|
|
The Azure provider is used to interact with the many resources supported
|
|
by Azure. The provider needs to be configured with a [publish settings
|
|
file](https://manage.windowsazure.com/publishsettings) and optionally a
|
|
subscription ID before it can be used.
|
|
|
|
Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Configure the Azure Provider
|
|
provider "azure" {
|
|
settings_file = "${var.azure_settings_file}"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Create a web server
|
|
resource "azure_instance" "web" {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
