Terraform Deployment

This directory contains Terraform modules and deploy.sh deployment script for creating Azure services. For more information, see Azure Functions Sample with LocalStack for Azure.

Prerequisites

Before deploying this solution, ensure you have the following tools installed:

Installing azlocal CLI

The deploy.sh script uses the azlocal CLI instead of the standard Azure CLI to work with LocalStack. Install it using:

pip install azlocal

For more information, see Get started with the az tool on LocalStack.

Architecture Overview

The main.tf Terraform module creates the following Azure resources:

  1. Azure Resource Group: Logical container for all gaming system resources
  2. Azure Storage Account: Provides blob containers, queues, and tables for the gaming system
  3. Azure App Service Plan: Hosting plan for the Azure Functions application
  4. Azure Linux Function App Serverless compute platform hosting the gaming logic with consumption plan

The system implements a complete gaming scoreboard with multiple Azure Functions that handle HTTP requests, process blob uploads, manage queue messages, and maintain game statistics.

Provisioning Scripts

See deploy.sh for the complete deployment automation. The script performs:

  • Detects environment (LocalStack vs Azure Cloud) and uses appropriate CLI (tflocal/azlocal or terraform/az)
  • Initializes Terraform and downloads required providers
  • Creates and validates Terraform execution plan with custom variables
  • Applies Terraform configuration to provision Azure resources
  • Extracts output values (resource group name, function app name)
  • Builds and publishes the .NET application in Release configuration
  • Creates deployment zip package from published output
  • Deploys the zip to Azure Function App using Azure CLI

Configuration

When using LocalStack for Azure, configure the metadata_host and subscription_id settings in the Azure Provider for Terraform to ensure proper connectivity:

provider "azurerm" {
  features {
    resource_group {
      prevent_deletion_if_contains_resources = false
    }
  }

  # Set the hostname of the Azure Metadata Service (for example management.azure.com) 
  # used to obtain the Cloud Environment when using LocalStack's Azure emulator. 
  # This allows the provider to correctly identify the environment and avoid making calls to the real Azure endpoints. 
  metadata_host="localhost.localstack.cloud:4566"

  # Set the subscription ID to a dummy value when using LocalStack's Azure emulator.
  subscription_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

Deployment

You can set up the Azure emulator by utilizing LocalStack for Azure Docker image. Before starting, ensure you have a valid LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN to access the Azure emulator. Refer to the Auth Token guide to obtain your Auth Token and specify it in the LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable. The Azure Docker image is available on the LocalStack Docker Hub. To pull the Azure Docker image, execute the following command:

docker pull localstack/localstack-azure-alpha

Start the LocalStack Azure emulator using the localstack CLI, execute the following command:

# Set the authentication token
export LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN=<your_auth_token>

# Start the LocalStack Azure emulator
IMAGE_NAME=localstack/localstack-azure-alpha localstack start -d
localstack wait -t 60

# Route all Azure CLI calls to the LocalStack Azure emulator
azlocal start-interception

Navigate to the terraform folder:

cd samples/function-app-managed-identity/python/terraform

Make the script executable:

chmod +x deploy.sh

Run the deployment script:

./deploy.sh

Validation

After deployment, you can use the validate.sh script to verify that all resources were created and configured correctly:

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
# Check resource group
az group show \
  --name local-rg \
  --output table

# List resources
az resource list \
  --resource-group local-rg \
  --output table

# Check function app status
az functionapp show  \
  --name local-func-test \
  --resource-group local-rg \
  --output table

# Check storage account properties
az storage account show \
  --name localstoragetest \
  --resource-group local-rg \
  --output table

# List storage containers
az storage container list \
  --account-name localstoragetest \
  --output table \
  --only-show-errors

# List storage queues
az storage queue list \
  --account-name localstoragetest \
  --output table \
  --only-show-errors

# List storage tables
az storage table list \
  --account-name localstoragetest \
  --output table \
  --only-show-errors

Cleanup

To destroy all created resources:

# Delete resource group and all contained resources
az group delete --name local-rg --yes --no-wait

# Verify deletion
az group list --output table

This will remove all Azure resources created by the CLI deployment script.
