+# 📖 Azure Cloud Web App Deployment <a name="about-project"></a>
+
+This project automates the provisioning and deployment of a scalable cloud application on Microsoft Azure. It uses **Terraform** to create infrastructure, and **Ansible** to configure services like a backend API running on 2 VMs behind a Load Balancer, connected to an **Azure MySQL** database, along with a frontend deployed on **Azure Web App**.

+
+## 📦 Provision Infrastructure (Terraform) <a name="terraform"></a>
+
+1. Initialize Terraform:
+
+```bash
+cd terraform/
+terraform init
+```
+
+2. Set your variables in `terraform.tfvars` or export them:

+## ❓ FAQ <a name="faq"></a>
+
+- **Can I deploy this to a different region?**
