Hi,

Unable to deploy the azure compute gallery image vm using terraform code

Hi Anil Kumar Saripadi,

You are creating a Linux VM using a custom image from your Compute Gallery, and you provided the SKU, publisher, and offer using your own naming convention, as shown in the screenshot. I also provided similar names accordingly.

Terraform main.tf file:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "3.0.0"
    }
  }
}

# Configure the Microsoft Azure Provider
provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "myresource19981" {
  name     = "1998myresource-resources"
  location = "East Us"
}

resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "virtualnetwork" {
  name                = "virtualnetwork-vnet1"
  address_space       = ["10.0.0.0/16"]
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.name
}

resource "azurerm_subnet" "example" {
  name                 = "example-subnet1"
  resource_group_name  = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.name
  virtual_network_name = azurerm_virtual_network.virtualnetwork.name
  address_prefixes     = ["10.0.1.0/24"]
}

resource "azurerm_network_interface" "example" {
  name                = "example-nic1"
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.name

  ip_configuration {
    name                          = "internal"
    subnet_id                     = azurerm_subnet.example.id
    private_ip_address_allocation = "Dynamic"
  }
}

resource "azurerm_linux_virtual_machine" "example" {
  name                = "example-vm1"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.myresource19981.location
  size                = "Standard_D2s_v3"

  network_interface_ids = [
    azurerm_network_interface.example.id,
  ]

  admin_username = "adminstrator"

  # Recommended: Use SSH key authentication
  admin_ssh_key {
    username   = "adminstrator"
    public_key = file("C:\\Users\\username\\.ssh\\id_rsa.pub") # Path to your SSH public key
  }

  source_image_id = "/subscriptions/subscriptions-id/resourceGroups/vm-win/providers/Microsoft.Compute/galleries/terraform/images/rocky/versions/9.4.0"

  os_disk {
    caching              = "ReadWrite"
    storage_account_type = "Standard_LRS"
    name                 = "example-osdisk"
  }

}

I successfully created the main.tf Terraform file using the custom image. Whenever you execute the Terraform file, please make sure to validate it and check if the format is correct. Also, remember to run terraform plan before applying.

Please find the screenshot of the VM created using a custom image through Terraform.
