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.

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.

azurerm_managed_disk

Ensure to enable the encryption on managed disks

It is better to enable the encryption on managed disks.

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.
