- We will create terraform files for a vnet and a subnet
- We will create a vm with a ip address in the subnet
- We will have terraform create a random password for the vm
- We will figure out where to find the password
- At the end we will manually create an additional subnet and have the vm use it
In the end we will use terraform destroy to remove all resources.
