intro

This is a early stage implementation for using Terraform and the GleSYS API. Please see GleSYS Go and GleSYS API documentation for more information.

Installation

Using the terraform-provider-glesys

In your Terraform configuration, add this. Then run terraform init

terraform {
  required_providers {
    glesys = {
      source = "glesys/glesys"
      # version = "0.14.2" # If you want to specify a certain release.
    }
  }
}

provider "glesys" {
  # Configuration options
}

$ terraform init

Run terraform

Instead of hardcoding credentials into your terraform templates. Use environment variables for example.

GLESYS_USERID="CL12345" GLESYS_TOKEN="ABC12345678" terraform plan
