Re: [terraform] Can Chef provisioner use an Azure VM private ip for WinRM sessions

[Paul Hinze]

Hi Wesley,

You can specify a different IP address for a provisioner by setting the `host` parameter in the `connection` block:

resource "azure_instance" "foo" {

  # ...

  # Use private IP instead of default public IP to provision.

  # This IP needs to be accessible from the machine where Terraform runs.

  connection {

    host = "${self.ip_address}"

  }
}

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I've deployed a Windows VM  on Azure with terraform and I would like to provision this VM with Chef. I'm trying to use Terraform's Chef provisioner to install the chef client on the Windows VM via WinRM. After the VM is deployed Terraform is trying to contact the VM via WinRM on the public ip address of the VM. 

I would like to know if it is possible to let Terraform start a WinRM sessions to the private ip of the Azure VM instead of using its public ip address. I searched through the documentation of Terraform and Google but was unable to answer my question.

With best regards,

Wesley van den Hengel

I'm struggling trying to get Terraform, Azure, and Chef to work together. Can you send me a copy of your TF script with Windows/Chef so I can see it?

Regards,

Ben Mitchell
