Expected Errors

SSH Key Validation Error (Expected)

Error: decoding "admin_ssh_key.0.public_key" for public key data

Status: ✅ EXPECTED - This error occurs because a placeholder SSH key was used for the dry run.

Resolution: Use a valid SSH public key in terraform.tfvars:

ssh_public_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABgQC... your-actual-public-key"

---

Configuration Validation

✅ Validated Components

• Resource naming conventions
• Address space assignments (region-specific)
• NSG rule configurations
• Module dependencies
• Variable usage
• Output definitions

⚠️ Required Configuration Before Deployment

1. SSH Public Key (REQUIRED)

   • Must be a valid SSH public key format
   • Set in terraform.tfvars or via -var flag

2. IP Restrictions (RECOMMENDED for production)

   • allowed_ssh_ips - Admin IPs for SSH access
   • allowed_rpc_ips - Nginx proxy subnet or Cloudflare Tunnel IPs
   • allowed_p2p_ips - Known Besu node IPs (or leave empty for open)
   • allowed_metrics_ips - Monitoring system IPs
   • key_vault_allowed_ips - Terraform runner and admin IPs
   • key_vault_allowed_subnets - VM subnet IDs

Address Space Allocation

US Regions

• eastus: 10.1.0.0/16 (subnet: 10.1.1.0/24)
• westus: 10.2.0.0/16 (subnet: 10.2.1.0/24)
• centralus: 10.3.0.0/16 (subnet: 10.3.1.0/24)
• eastus2: 10.4.0.0/16 (subnet: 10.4.1.0/24)
• westus2: 10.5.0.0/16 (subnet: 10.5.1.0/24)

Admin Region

• westeurope: 10.10.0.0/16 (subnet: 10.10.1.0/24)

Note: Region-specific address spaces prevent IP conflicts if VPN/ExpressRoute connects regions.

Security Configuration

NSG Rules

• SSH (port 22): Allowed from allowed_ssh_ips (or * if empty)
• P2P TCP/UDP (port 30303): Allowed from allowed_p2p_ips (or * if empty)
• RPC HTTP (port 8545): Allowed from allowed_rpc_ips (or * if empty)
• RPC WebSocket (port 8546): Allowed from allowed_rpc_ips (or * if empty)
• Metrics (port 9545): Allowed from allowed_metrics_ips (or * if empty)

⚠️ WARNING: If IP restriction variables are empty, all rules allow from * (entire internet). This is NOT SECURE for production.

Key Vault Network ACLs

• Default Action: Deny (production) / Allow (non-production)
• Allowed IPs: key_vault_allowed_ips
• Allowed Subnets: key_vault_allowed_subnets

⚠️ WARNING: For production, must configure key_vault_allowed_ips and/or key_vault_allowed_subnets or Key Vault will be inaccessible.

Deployment Readiness

✅ Ready

• Terraform configuration validated
• All modules properly referenced
• Dependencies correctly configured
• Resource naming compliant
• Address spaces properly allocated

⚠️ Required Before Deployment

1. SSH Public Key - Must be valid format
2. IP Restrictions - Configure for production security
3. Key Vault Network ACLs - Configure for production access

📋 Recommended

1. Review resource counts and costs
2. Verify address space allocations
3. Test with non-production environment first
4. Configure monitoring alerts
5. Set up backup schedules

---

Next Steps

1. Configure Variables: Update terraform.tfvars with:

   • Valid SSH public key
   • IP restrictions (for production)
   • Key Vault network ACLs (for production)

2. Review Plan: Review the full plan output to verify all resources

3. Deploy: Run terraform apply when ready

4. Post-Deployment:

   • Configure Cloudflare Tunnel
   • Enable VM backup protection
   • Set up monitoring alerts
   • Test connectivity

---

Conclusion

Dry Run Status: ✅ SUCCESSFUL

The Terraform plan shows 86 resources will be created with no changes or deletions. The configuration is valid and ready for deployment after:

1. Providing a valid SSH public key
2. Configuring IP restrictions (for production)
3. Configuring Key Vault network ACLs (for production)

Overall Assessment: ✅ READY FOR DEPLOYMENT (with required configuration)
