Show me how to use Terraform to install Microsoft SQL Server on a Microsoft Windows Server base operating system image.
To install Microsoft SQL Server on a Microsoft Windows Server base operating system image using Terraform, you need to create a Windows Server virtual machine (VM) with SQL Server preinstalled. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Engine provides images with Microsoft SQL Server preinstalled on Windows Server. You can use Terraform to deploy a Windows Server with SQL Server VM Instance in GCP.To create the VM, you need to follow these steps:1. Create a custom image of the Windows Server base operating system with SQL Server preinstalled.2. Use Terraform to deploy the custom image as a VM.To create the custom image, you can use Packer or manually install and configure SQL Server on a Windows Server base operating system image. Once you have created the custom image, you can use it to create a VM using Terraform.Terraform has an azurerm_mssql_virtual_machine module that allows you to create an Azure virtual machine running Microsoft SQL server. However, this module is specific to Azure and cannot be used for GCP.In summary, to install Microsoft SQL server on a Microsoft Windows Server base operating system image using Terraform in GCP:1. Create a custom image of the Windows Server base operating system with SQL server preinstalled.2. Use Terraform to deploy the custom image as a VM in GCP.
To install Microsoft SQL Server on a Microsoft Windows Server base operating system image using Terraform, we can use the
azurerm_mssql_virtual_machine resource from the AzureRM Provider. This resource creates a new virtual machine with SQL Server installed on it.Here's an example Terraform configuration file that creates a new virtual machine with SQL Server installed:provider "azurerm" {
features {}
}
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
name = "example-resource-group"
location = "West Europe"
}
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "example" {
name = "example-virtual-network"
address_space = ["10.0.0.0/16"]
location = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
}
resource "azurerm_subnet" "example" {
name = "example-subnet"
address_prefixes = ["10.0.1.0/24"]
virtual_network_name = azurerm_virtual_network.example.name
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
}
resource "azurerm_public_ip" "example" {
name = "example-public-ip"
location = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
allocation_method = "Dynamic"
}
resource "azurerm_network_interface" "example" {
name = "example-network-interface"
location = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
ip_configuration {
name = "internal"
subnet_id = azurerm_subnet.example.id
private_ip_address_allocation = "Dynamic"
public_ip_address_id = azurerm_public_ip.example.id
primary = true
}
}
resource “azurerm_mssql_virtual_machine” “sqlvm” {
name = “sqlvm”
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
location = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
vm_size = “Standard_DS2_v2”
admin_username = “adminuser”
admin_password = “Password123!”
image_publisher = “MicrosoftSQLServer”
image_offer = “SQL2019-WS2019”
image_sku = “Enterprise”
version = “latest”
sql_server_license_type = “PAYG”
sql_server_management = true
sql_server_connectivity_type = “Public”
network_interface_ids =[azurerm_network_interface.sqlvmnic.id]
os_disk_storage_account_type ="Premium_LRS"
}
This configuration file creates a new virtual machine with SQL Server installed on it using the
azurerem_mssql_virtual_machine resource. The name, location, and resource group parameters specify the name, location, and resource group of the virtual machine to be created.The admin_username and admin_password parameters specify the username and password for logging into the virtual machine.The image_publisher, image_offer, and image_sku parameters specify which version of SQL Server to install on the virtual machine.The network_interface_ids parameter specifies which network interface to attach to the virtual machine.Finally, the os_disk_storage_account_type parameter specifies which type of storage account to use for the operating system disk.Note that this is just an exampleHere is a basic example of how to use Terraform to install SQL Server on a Windows Server base OS image:
1. First, you'll need to create a Terraform configuration file with the necessary resources. Here's an example:
```terraform
# Define the provider
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}
# Create a Windows Server base OS instance
resource "aws_instance" "windows" {
ami = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
key_name = "mykey"
user_data = <<-EOF
<powershell>
Install-WindowsFeature -name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools
</powershell>
EOF
}
# Install SQL Server on the instance
resource "null_resource" "sqlserver" {
depends_on = [
aws_instance.windows
]
provisioner "remote-exec" {
inline = [
"Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=853017 -OutFile C:\\SQLServer.exe",
"C:\\SQLServer.exe /q /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=MyPassword123 /TCPENABLED=1 /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS",
]
connection {
type = "winrm"
user = "Administrator"
password = "MyPassword123"
host = aws_instance.windows.public_ip
timeout = "1h"
insecure = true
}
}
}
```
2. In the above example, we are using the AWS provider to create a Windows Server base OS instance, and then using a null resource to install SQL Server on that instance. We are also using a remote-exec provisioner to execute PowerShell commands on the instance to install SQL Server.
3. To run this configuration, you'll need to have Terraform installed on your machine and have your AWS credentials set up. Once you have those set up, you can run the following commands:
```
terraform init
terraform apply
```
4. Terraform will then create the instance and install SQL Server on it. Once the process is complete, you can access SQL Server by connecting to the instance using Remote Desktop Connection and opening SQL Server Management Studio.
That's a basic example of how to use Terraform to install SQL Server on a Windows Server base OS image. Of course, you'll need to adjust the example to fit your specific needs, such as specifying your own AMI and security groups.
