Liquid Metal on Equinix

These terraform modules can be used to create and provision a Liquid Metal Platform on Equinix.

They are still being refactored, and represent a first step in simplifying the amount of similar terraform modules that we have lying around.

Usage

There are 3 modules:

• create will set up some infrastructure in Equinix:
  • A new project
  • A device to act as a networking hub
  • N microvm host devices
  • N baremetal host devices
  • A VLAN
• provision will bootstrap the devices to run Liquid Metal
• provision-test will bootstrap the devices with no network access. This is used for running e2e test suites.

Requirments

• Equinix account
• Tailscale account

Example

module "create_devices" {
  source = "weaveworks-liquidmetal/liquidmetal/equinix"
  version = "0.0.4"

  project_name = "my-lm-project"
  public_key = "my ssh public key"
  org_id = "my org id"
  metal_auth_token = "my equinix auth token"
}

module "provision_hosts" {
  source = "weaveworks-liquidmetal/liquidmetal/equinix//modules/provision"
  version = "0.0.4"

  ts_auth_key = "my tailscale auth key"
  private_key_path = "/path/to/my/private/key"

  vlan_id = module.create_devices.vlan_id
  network_hub_address = module.create_devices.network_hub_ip
  microvm_host_addresses = module.create_devices.microvm_host_ips
  baremetal_host_addresses = module.create_devices.bare_metal_host_ips
}

Publishing

The modules can be found here.

To publish a new version, simply create a new release in this repo and the modules in the registry will sync.
