# Azure Automation Suite -  Enterprise Ready Services

### **Azure Cloud Automation Deployment Guide**

1. **Select an Azure Service**.
    
    
    - In X-ops, navigate to **CloudOps → Azure Automation**.
    - Click on the desired service (e.g., Virtual Network, Storage Account, Virtual Machine).
2. **Review Prerequisites**.
    
    
    - Check the **Overview** for service capabilities.
    - Confirm **Terraform** (>=1.0) and **Azure Provider** versions.
    - Ensure your Azure service principal has necessary RBAC roles.
3. **Configure Inputs**.
    
    
    - Open the **Inputs** section.
    - Complete required fields (e.g., `resource_group_name`, `location`).
    - Use default values for optional parameters or tailor them.
4. **Copy and Customize Terraform**.
    
    
    - Scroll to **Usage** and click **Copy Code**.
    - Paste into `main.tf` and replace placeholders with your specifics.
    - Adjust subnets, VM sizes, and tags to fit your environment.
5. **Initialize and Deploy**.
    
    
    - Run `terraform init` to initialize providers.
    - Run `terraform fmt` and `terraform validate`.
    - Run `terraform plan` to review planned changes.
    - Run `terraform apply` to provision resources.
6. **Verify Outputs**.
    
    
    - Check the **Outputs** section for resource IDs and endpoints.
    - Log in to the Azure Portal to confirm resource creation.
    - Validate network connectivity and role assignments.
