You have laded on another post and video in a series on Terraform and Azure. This post and accompanying video looks at a more complicated module example that uses a looping function to create multiple, similar resources. The example uses Terraform to create an Azure Bastion Host and VNet with multiple subnets in Azure.

This post and accompanying video put those concepts into practice. This is a lengthy subject, so grab a drink of your choice and settle in for the ride. Also, if you are getting started with Terraform, be sure to check out my other articles and videos on using Terraform. The information below assumes some knowledge of Terraform.
