Phase 1 - Prerequisites

Phase 1 of the accelerator is to setup your prerequisites. Follow the steps below to do that.

1 - Tools and Internet Access

You’ll need to install the following tools before getting started.

In all cases, ensure that the tools are available from a PowerShell core (pwsh) terminal. You may need to add them to your environment path if they are not.

You will also need open access to the internet to download tools, terraform providers and connect to Azure and your Version Control System.

We DO NOT explicitly support:

  • Running behind a corporate proxy
  • Running in Azure Cloud Shell
If your local machine is behind a corporate proxy, consider spinning up a temporary VM in Azure to run the Accelerator from, then tear it down when you are done.

2 - Azure Subscriptions and Permissions

Follow the instructions in the Platform Subscriptions and Permissions section.

3 - Version Control Systems

You’ll need to decide if you are using GitHub, Azure DevOps or the Local File System and follow these steps:

Azure DevOps

Follow the instructions in the Azure DevOps section.

GitHub

Follow the instructions in the GitHub section.

Local File System

You just need to ensure that you have a folder on your local file system that you can use to store the files, which your current session has access to.

Next Steps

Now head to Phase 2.
