Deploy a Highly Available Static Website on Azure Using Terraform
I see you want to host a static website on azure, well there are numerous ways to do that.

Pairing Azure Front Door with Azure Blob Storage can establish an infrastructure for a highly available static website. This combination offers a cost-effective, straightforward, and reliable hosting solution for your .html, .css, and .js files. Since creating infrastructure through the Azure dashboard can be time-consuming, we will utilize Terraform, an IAC tool from HashiCorp, which enables users to build, modify, and version both cloud and on-premises resources efficiently.
