Terraform Provider NetActuate

Usage

Currently in this stage of development -

Basic Steps to test:

# Grab the provider:
git clone git@github.com:netactuate/terraform-provider-netactuate.git

# Install and download all the dependencies and compile all related binaries
cd terraform-netactuate-provider
make install-all

# Edit an example: [basic, full, cluster]
cd examples/basic
export NETACTUATE_API_KEY="my-api-key"
edit main.tf
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Authentication

There are the following ways of providing credentials for authentication:

1. Static credentials
2. Environment variable

Static credentials

NOTE:
Hard-coded credentials are not recommended in any Terraform configuration and risks secret leakage should this file ever be committed to a public version control system.

Static credentials can be provided by adding an api_key in-line in the provider block:

provider "netactuate" {
  api_key = "my-api-key"
}

Environment Variables

You can provide your credentials via the NETACTUATE_API_KEY environment variable, representing your NetActuate API Key:

provider "netactuate" {}

export NETACTUATE_API_KEY="my-api-key"
terraform apply

Development

Run locally

Do the following to run and test the TF provider locally:

1. Compile and install the TF provider's binaries to the local TF plugins directory:

   make install-all

2. Install TF providers for the test example:

   cd example
   terraform init

   Every time the provider is re-built, .terraform.lock.hcl file must be removed and the test example modules re-initialize, because the provider dependency's hash changes
3. Build the infrastructure:

   terraform apply

Custom API URL

If necessary, you can override the default NetActuate API URL by specifying a custom api_url in the provider block:

provider "netactuate" {
  api_url = "https://api.example.com/"
}
