By building out a terraform environment, I assume you mean download/unzip terraform to a location on the “go” user’s path?
I think that’s really all you’d need as terraform usually installs the azurerm plugin on the fly during build. It should be that simple. Alternatively I’m sure there are docker images with terraform if that’s the way you want to go. The server won’t need terraform. Just the agents since they are doing the work. And if you need any special env variables, you can set that up in the pipeline config for your build and/or use tfvars.
