azurerm_disk_access (Terraform)

The Disk Access in Compute can be configured in Terraform with the resource name azurerm_disk_access. The following sections describe 1 example of how to use the resource and its parameters.

Example Usage from GitHub

main.tf#L1
resource "azurerm_disk_access" "example" {
  name                = var.name
  resource_group_name = var.resource
  location            = var.location

Tips: Best Practices for The Other Azure Compute Resources

In addition to the azurerm_linux_virtual_machine, Azure Compute has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.

risk-label

azurerm_linux_virtual_machine

Ensure to use SSH authentication for virtual machines

It is better to use SSH authentication for virtual machines instead of password authentication to enforce more secure ways.

risk-label

azurerm_managed_disk

Ensure to enable the encryption on managed disks

It is better to enable the encryption on managed disks.

risk-label

azurerm_virtual_machine

Ensure to use SSH authentication for virtual machines

It is better to use SSH authentication for virtual machines instead of password authentication to enforce more secure ways.

Review your Azure Compute settings

In addition to the above, there are other security points you should be aware of making sure that your .tf files are protected in Shisho Cloud.

Microsoft.Compute/diskAccesses (Azure Resource Manager)

The diskAccesses in Microsoft.Compute can be configured in Azure Resource Manager with the resource name Microsoft.Compute/diskAccesses. The following sections describe how to use the resource and its parameters.
