+This directory contains Terraform configuration files showing how to create specific resources. 
+- The create-vpc is intended to demonstrate how to create a vpc along with Vswitch and security group rules.
+- The launch-instance contains both the vpc configuration we used above and the instance provisioning configuration.
+-  For details on how to run these samples please refere to my blog post

+ **Terraform Console**:
+- ***Functions:*** Although terraform is a declarative language, there are still myriads of functions you can use to process strings/number/lists/mappings etc. 
+you will find an excellent all in one script with examples of most terraform functions in [terrafunctions.sh](https://github.com/brokedba/terraform-examples/blob/master/terraform-provider-azure/terrafunctions.sh) 
+
+- ***expressions:***  Same goes for expressions here is a simple shell script that creates a main.tf with multiples expressions and apply it for you [terraexpression.sh](https://github.com/brokedba/terraform-examples/blob/master/terraform-provider-azure/terraexpressions.sh) No need to deploy anything in the cloud it's all local.
