# Deploy RELIANOID Load Balancer Community Edition v7 with Terraform on Azure

This guide explains how to deploy the **RELIANOID Community Edition** virtual machine on Microsoft Azure using the official Terraform module from the **Terraform Registry**.

The module provisions automatically:

- Resource Group
- Virtual Network + Subnet
- Network Security Group (allowing SSH 22, Web GUI 444)
- Public IP + NIC
- Virtual Machine using the RELIANOID Community Edition image from Azure Marketplace

## Prerequisites

### 1. Install Terraform

Download Terraform and install it for your OS.

`terraform -version`

### 2. Install Azure CLI

Download and install the Azure CLI. Login to your Azure account:

`az login`

### 3. SSH Key Pair

You’ll need an SSH key to access the VM. If you don’t already have one:

`ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f id_rsa`

This creates `id_rsa` (private key) and `id_rsa.pub` (public key). Keep the keys in the same directory where Terraform files are stored.

## Step 1: Find the Terraform Module

1. 1. Go to **Terraform Registry**.
   2. Search for `relianoid-community`.

1. 1. Select *see all* or the official module `relianoid/relianoid-community/azurerm`.

## Step 2: Create a Project Folder

```
mkdir relianoid-azure
cd relianoid-azure
```

## Step 3: Create Configuration Files

Create the files `main.tf`, `variables.tf`, and `terraform.tfvars` with the following content:

### `main.tf`

```
module "relianoid-community" {
  source              = "relianoid/relianoid-community/azurerm"
  version             = "1.0.2"
  subscription_id     = var.subscription_id
  public_ssh_key_path = "${path.module}/id_rsa.pub"
}
```

### `terraform.tfvars`

```
subscription_id = "Your Subscription_ID"
```

### `variables.tf`

```
variable "subscription_id" {
  description = "Azure Subscription ID"
  type        = string
}
```

### `output.tf`

```
output "instance_id" {
  description = "The ID of the Azure VM"
  value       = module.relianoid-community.vm_id
}

output "instance_public_ip" {
  description = "The public IP of the Azure VM"
  value       = module.relianoid-community.vm_public_ip
}

output "instance_private_ip" {
  description = "The private IP of the Azure VM"
  value       = module.relianoid-community.vm_private_ip
}
```

### Notes:

- The module provisions all required Azure resources internally: Resource Group, VNet, Subnet, NSG, VM, NIC, and Public IP.
- By default, it uses the RELIANOID Community Edition image from Azure Marketplace.

## Step 4: Initialize & Deploy

Run the following commands:

```
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
```

Confirm with `yes` when prompted.

## Step 5: Access the RELIANOID VM

After deployment, Terraform outputs the public IP address. Connect using SSH:

`ssh -i id_rsa azureuser@<instance_public_ip>`

Open the Web GUI in your browser:

`https://<instance_public_ip>:444`

## Outputs

Terraform provides:

| Output Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `instance_id` | The ID of the Azure VM |
| `instance_public_ip` | The public IP of the VM |
| `instance_private_ip` | The private IP in the VNet |

## Destroy Resources

To delete everything created:

`terraform destroy`

## Important Notes:

- Make sure you’ve accepted the Azure Marketplace terms for the RELIANOID image before deployment.
- Always secure your private key (`id_rsa`).
