Terraform Provider Flash

Note: Breaking change with Terraform 0.13. Check the Usage updates below.

This is the repository for the Terraform Provider Flash. The plugin provides resources for the Pure Storage FlashArray to be managed within Terraform.

For general information about Terraform, visit the official website and the GitHub project page.

As of version 1.1.2, the provider is available in the Terraform Registry, and can be downloaded automatically when running terraform init.

The documentation for the provider can be found on the Provider's website

This provider plugin is maintained by Dave Evans.

Please submit issues here.

Requirements

---

• Terraform 0.13.x (the provider was tested against 0.13.1)
• Go 1.15 (to build the provider plugin)

Usage

---

Add the required_providers block to your terraform configuration.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    flash = {
      source  = "devans10/flash"
      version = "~> 1.1.2"
    }
  }
}

You will also need to list the provider in all of the resources.

resource "purestorage_volume" "vol1" {
  provider = flash
  name     = "volume_name"
  size     = 1073741824
}

(Deprecated) Add the following to $HOME/.terraformrc

providers {
    purestorage = "$GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-flash"
}

Configure the Provider

Configure in TF configuration

provider "flash" {
  api_token  = "${var.purestorage_apitoken}"
  target     = "${var.purestorage_target}"
}

or

provider "flash" {
  username   = "${var.purestorage_username}"
  password   = "${var.purestorage_password}"
  target     = "${var.purestorage_target}"
}

Configure in environment

Set username(PURE_USERNAME) and password(PURE_PASSWORD) or API Token(PURE_APITOKEN) and endpoint(PURE_TARGET) in environment.

provider "flash" {}

Building The Provider

---

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/devans10/terraform-provider-flash

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/devans10; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/devans10
git clone git@github.com:devans10/terraform-provider-flash

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/devans10/terraform-provider-flash
make build

Using the provider

---

Basic volume provision

Create one volume

resource "purestorage_volume" "testvol_tf" {
  provider = flash
  name     = "testvol_tf"
  size     = "1048000000"
}

Copy a volume

resource "purestorage_volume" "testvol_tf_copy" {
  provider = flash
  name     = "testvol_tf_copy"
  source   = "testvol_tf"
}

Create a host

resource "purestorage_host" "testhosttf" {
  provider = flash
  name     = "testhosttf"
  volume {
    vol = "testvol_tf"
    lun = 1
  }
}

Create a hostgroup

resource "purestorage_hostgroup" "testhgrouptf" {
  provider = flash
  name     = "testhgrouptf"
  hosts    = ["testhosttf"]
  volume {
    vol = "testvol_tf_copy"
    lun = 250
  }
}

Create a Protection Group

Protection Group has a hosts, hgroups, and volumes parameters, but only 1 can be used.

resource "purestorage_protectiongroup" "testpgroup" {
  provider = flash
  name     = "testpgroup"
  volumes  = ["testvol_tf", "testvol_tf_copy"]
}

Developing the Provider

---

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.11+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-flash
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

make test

To run acceptance tests, run make testacc. Volumes and Protection Groups created during the acceptance tests are not eradicated.

make testacc
