Terraform Demo

This project uses the terraform-provider-ibm plugin to interact with IBM Cloud. The docker image provided is running the following versions:

• Terraform 0.12
• Go 1.12
• IBM Cloud Provider v1.8.0

Prerequisite

• You need to have an account to the IBM Cloud and can create resources. This usually mean your account is upgraded to internal plan or equivalent.
• You need to have Docker and docker-compose installed on the machine that will be running Terraform. Docker Docker-compose
• You have generated SSH keys in ~/.ssh/ directory. It is required that you generate a new key to be used with Terraform as IBM Cloud will return error if your public key is already registered in the cloud.

N.B. It is recommended that you generate a new SSH key that is not passphrase-protected as the current implementation does not handle passphrase for SSH connections.

Setup

1. Clone this repository.

$ git clone git@github.com:nqdao/ibmcloud-terraform-demo.git

2. Run docker-compose to launch deployer docker container.

$ docker-compose run --rm deployer

3. Once inside the docker container (bash shell prompt is shown bash-4.4#), initialize Terraform workspace.

$ terraform init

4. It is recommended that you make a copy of terraform.tfvars.example and name it terraform.tfvars to override the default values to be specific to your environment and credential.

You are now ready to use Terraform.
