terraform-azure-bootstrap (Updated)

We’ve improved and updated our original terraform-azure-boostrap script! The script is now offered directly from a Westridge Group Github public repository. We have made a few minor changes unfortunately they maybe breaking changes depending on how you have used it in the past, so we have created a 2.0.0 release. The main difference is the script now requires the user to “source” the file and then call the functions. The older version, v1.1.0, had you source the file at the same time provide the .tfvars file and it automatically ran the terraform_setup. Then it was up to you to use terraform apply appropriately we just feel the new setup is more hands off and user friendly.
