Azure traffic manager with load balanced scale sets

This example shows how to create a load balanced scale set in multiple locations and then geographically load balance these using traffic manager. This example the scale set uses a market place Ubuntu image, this could be customised using an extension or a generalized image created using packer.

This script demonstrates how variable can be passed in and out of reusable modules. You will need to run terraform get for terrafrom to get so that modules are pre-processed.

Keys and variables

To use this you will need to populate the terraform.tfvars.example file with your Azure credentials and key. Rename this to terraform.tfvars and copy this somewhere private. If you need to generate credentials follow the instructions on the Azure provider documented here

You may also want to modify some of the settings in variables.tf, DNS names must be unique within an Azure location and globally for traffic management
