Example configurations

AWS

resource "ublob_blob" "aws_blob" {
  bucket = "rrajesh1979-007"
  cloud = "AWS"
  region = "us-east-2"
}

output "ublob_aws_out" {
  value = ublob_blob.aws_blob
}

GCP

resource "ublob_blob" "gcp_blob" {
  bucket = "rrajesh1979-001"
  cloud = "GCP"
  region = "asia"
  project_id = "peer-poc"
  storage_class = "Standard"
}

output "ublob_gcp_out" {
  value = ublob_blob.gcp_blob
}

AZURE

variable "storage_account_key" {
  type = string
}

resource "ublob_blob" "az_blob" {
  bucket = "tf-blob-2"
  cloud = "AZURE"
  region = "us"
  storage_account = "rrajesh1979"
  storage_account_key = var.storage_account_key
}

output "ublob_az_out" {
  value = ublob_blob.az_blob
}

Usage

Cloud provider specific configuration

• AWS

aws configure

• GCP

gcloud auth application-default login

• AZURE

az login
az account set --subscription ""
##Setup environment variables
export TF_VAR_storage_account_key="<<Your storage account key>>"

#usage
make install
cd examples
terraform init && terraform apply --auto-approve

Future enhancements

• This is an experimental Terraform provider that allows users to create a storage bucket in any of the cloud platforms - AWS, GCP and Azure
• This Alpha release is to build a working version of the provider.
• The current release is a basic version that only supports
  • Create resource
  • Destroy resource
• ###ToDo
  • Functional
  • Enhanced Read
  • Implement Update, Import
  • Support for fine-grained attributes for storage bucket - ex. permissions, versioning etc.
  • Non-Functional
  • Add test cases
  • Code refactoring
  • Improve exception handling
  • Better logging and error handling
  • Idiomatic go code
