| 15 | +# 'Quickstart: Create and deploy Azure Functions resources from Terraform' |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +In this quickstart, you use Terraform to create a function app in a Flex Consumption plan in Azure, along with its required Azure resources. Azure Functions Flex Consumption is a serverless compute service that helps you to run code on demand without explicitly provisioning or managing infrastructure. It's used for processing data, integrating systems, internet-of-things computing, and building simple APIs and microservices. The resources created in this configuration include a unique resource group, a storage account, a blob storage container, a service plan, and the function app itself. The function app is configured to use blob storage and is set to run on a Linux operating system. |

| 30 | +## Prerequisites |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- Create an Azure account with an active subscription. You can [create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F). |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- [Install and configure Terraform](/azure/developer/terraform/quickstart-configure). |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Implement the Terraform code |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 39 | +> The sample code for this article is located in the [Azure Terraform GitHub repo](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-azure-functions). 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-azure-functions/TestRecord.md). |
| 40 | +> |
| 41 | +> See more [articles and sample code showing how to use Terraform to manage Azure resources](/azure/terraform). |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | +1. Create a directory in which to test and run the sample Terraform code, and make it the current directory. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +1. Create a file named `main.tf`, and insert the following code: |
| 46 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-azure-functions/main.tf"::: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +1. Create a file named `outputs.tf`, and insert the following code: |
| 49 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-azure-functions/outputs.tf"::: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +1. Create a file named `providers.tf`, and insert the following code: |
| 52 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-azure-functions/providers.tf"::: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +1. Create a file named `variables.tf`, and insert the following code: |
| 55 | + :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-azure-functions/variables.tf"::: |
