| 15 | +# Quickstart: Create an Azure NAT Gateway using Terraform |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Get started with Azure NAT Gateway using Terraform. This Terraform file deploys a virtual network, a NAT gateway resource, and Ubuntu virtual machine. The Ubuntu virtual machine is deployed to a subnet that is associated with the NAT gateway resource. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The script also generates a random SSH public key and associates it with the virtual machine for secure access. The public key is outputted at the end of the script execution. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The script uses the Random and AzAPI providers in addition to the AzureRM provider. The Random provider is used to generate a unique name for the resource group and the SSH key. The AzAPI provider is used to generate the SSH public key. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +As with the public key, the names of the created resource group, virtual network, subnet, and NAT gateway are printed when the script is run. |

| 29 | +## Prerequisites |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- An Azure account with an active subscription. You can [create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- [Install and configure Terraform](/azure/developer/terraform/quickstart-configure). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Implement the Terraform code |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 38 | +> The sample code for this article is located in the [Azure Terraform GitHub repo](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create). You can view the log file containing the [test results from current and previous versions of Terraform](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create/TestRecord.md). |
| 39 | +> |

| 41 | +
|
| 42 | +1. Create a directory in which to test and run the sample Terraform code and make it the current directory. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +1. Create a file named `main.tf` and insert the following code: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create/main.tf"::: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +1. Create a file named `outputs.tf` and insert the following code: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create/outputs.tf"::: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +1. Create a file named `providers.tf` and insert the following code: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create/providers.tf"::: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. Create a file named `ssh.tf` and insert the following code: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create/ssh.tf"::: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +1. Create a file named `variables.tf` and insert the following code: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-nat-gateway-create/variables.tf"::: |

| 83 | +```console |
| 84 | +resource_group_name=$(terraform output -raw resource_group_name) |
| 85 | +``` |
| 86 | + |

| 89 | +```console |
| 90 | + nat_gateway=$(terraform output -raw nat_gateway) |
| 91 | +``` |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +1. Run [az network nat gateway show](/cli/azure/network/nat/gateway#az-network-nat-gateway-show) to display the details about the NAT gateway. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +```azurecli |
| 96 | +az network nat gateway show \ |
| 97 | + --resource-group $resource_group_name \ |
| 98 | + --ids $nat_gateway |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +#### [Azure PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell) |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +1. Get the Azure resource group name. |

| 111 | +```console |
| 112 | +$nat_gateway=$(terraform output -raw nat_gateway) |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +1. Run [Get-AzNatGateway](/powershell/module/az.network/get-aznatgateway) to display the details about the NAT gateway. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +```azurepowershell |
| 118 | +$nat = @{ |
