Deployment with Terraform in cloud.ca

This deployment example will deploy :

• A VPC
• Two tiers, web (load balancing enabled) and data (standard).
• The web tier will contain 3 load balanced instances
• The data tier will contain 1 instance
• A public IP address will be acquired to load balance the instances in the web tier
• The tfstate.tf state file will be stored in swift to allow sharing within a team

Usage

1. Install Terraform

2. Retrive your API keys for your cloud.ca compute and object-storage environments, and export them to environment variables

   export TF_VAR_api_key=YOUR_CS_API_KEY
   export TF_VAR_secret_key=YOUR_CS_SECRET_KEY
   export OS_USERNAME=YOUR_SWIFT_USERNAME
   export OS_PASSWORD=YOUR_SWIFT_PASSWORD
   export OS_TENANT_NAME=YOUR_SWIFT_TENANT_NAME
   export OS_AUTH_URL=https://auth-qc.cloud.ca/v2.0
   

3. Set terraform to use a container as remote backend.

   terraform remote config -backend=swift -backend-config="path=dev"
   

   By default, backend_container variable is set to dev. If you would like to use a different container, be sure to change it in the variables.tf file and modify the command above.
