Terraform EdgeCenter Provider

====================================================================================

• 

Latest provider

• edge-center provider

Using the provider

Requirements

• Terraform >= 0.13

Configuring terraform

Create Terraform configuration file

$ touch ~/.terraformrc

For using terraform without VPN, you should configure mirror by manual or configure mirror in ~/.terraformrc file:

provider_installation {

   network_mirror {
      url = "https://terraform-mirror.yandexcloud.net/"
      include = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]
   }
   # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider 
   # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use 
   # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available. 
   direct {
      exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]
   }
}

Project initializing

Prepare module configuration file

It is necessary to add provider settings according to the instructions https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/providers/requirements: Each Terraform module must declare which providers it requires, so that Terraform can install and use them.

To use the provider, prepare configuration file provider.tf in the module directory.

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.13.0"

  required_providers {
    edgecenter = {
       source = "Edge-Center/edgecenter"
       version = "{version_number}"  # need to specify (choose from https://github.com/Edge-Center/terraform-provider-edgecenter/releases)
    }
  }
}


provider edgecenter {
  edgecenter_platform_api = "https://api.edgecenter.ru/iam"
  edgecenter_cloud_api = "https://api.edgecenter.ru/cloud"
  permanent_api_token = "{your_permanent_token}" # need to specify (you can create it on the page https://accounts.edgecenter.ru/profile/api-tokens)
}

Initialize working directory

Run terraform init in the module directory.

terraform init

This command initializes a working directory containing Terraform configuration files. This is the first command that should be run after writing a new Terraform configuration or cloning an existing one from version control. It is safe to run this command multiple times

Writing modules files

Create module files using the examples provided in the ./examples folder.

Development

Requirements

• Terraform >= 0.13
• vault
• Go 1.26 (to build the provider plugin)

Initialization of the project

Setting Vault envs

Before initializing the project you should to set VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_TOKEN envs:

export VAULT_ADDR=<you can ask address from Cloud team (matermost tag: @devcloud)>
export VAULT_TOKEN=<you can generate this token at the ${VAULT_ADDR} page>

Initialize

Initialize the project using this command:

$ make init

Building the provider

$ make build

Using built Terraform provider

To use the built provider from the previous step, you should add the dev_overrides option to the ~/.terraformrc file:

provider_installation { 
 
  dev_overrides { 
      "local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter" = "/<dev-path>/terraform-provider-edgecenter/bin" 
  } 
  
  network_mirror {
    url = "https://terraform-mirror.yandexcloud.net/"
    include = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]
  }
 
  # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider 
  # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use 
  # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available. 
    direct {
    exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]
  }
}

Then you should use "local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter" source in required_provider settings in the provider.tf file:

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.13.0"

  required_providers {
    edgecenter = {
       source = "local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter"
    }
  }
}


provider edgecenter {
  edgecenter_platform_api = "https://api.edgecenter.ru/iam"
  edgecenter_cloud_api = "https://api.edgecenter.ru/cloud"
  permanent_api_token = "{your_permanent_token}" # need to specify (you can create it on the page https://accounts.edgecenter.ru/profile/api-tokens)
}

Testing

Remote

Tests are run with provided secrets envs in the GitHub repository.

Local

For testing cloud data sources

make test_cloud_data_source

For testing cloud resources

make test_cloud_resource

For testing not cloud (storage, cdn, dns) data sources and resources:

make test_not_cloud

Lint

To lint project code, use:

make linters

Docs generating

To generate Terraform documentation, use the command make docs. This command uses the terraform-plugin-docs library to create provider documentation with examples and places it in the docs folder. These docs can be viewed on the provider registry page.

Debugging

There are two ways to debug the provider:

Goland debugging

1. Add new go build configuration with field program arguments:
   -debug -address=local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter
2. Run this configuration;
3. Export generated TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS env from debug output:

export TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS='{"local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter":{"Protocol":"grpc","ProtocolVersion":5,"Pid":65114,"Test":true,"Addr":{"Network":"unix","String":"/var/folders/g4/q8cpkx6n7gg_1cvr0lrtkd4w0000gq/T/plugin1422839680"}}}'

4. Set a breakpoint in your code and apply the Terraform config:

terraform apply

5. Debugging.

VSCode debugging

1. Create a launch.json file:
   • In the Run view, click create a launch.json file.
   • Choose Go: Launch Package from the debug configuration drop-down menu.
   • VS Code will create a launch.json file in a .vscode folder in your workspace.
2. Add a new configuration to launch.json:
   • The address argument must be equal to the source field from your provider.tf.

   {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Debug Terraform Provider",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "env": {},
            "args": [
                "-debug",
                "-address=local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter"
            ]
        }
    ]
   } 

3. Launch the debug mode: Run > Start Debugging (F5).
4. Copy the TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS env from the console and export it to the terminal as follows:

   export TF_REATTACH_PROVIDERS='{"local.edgecenter.ru/repo/edgecenter":{...'

5. Set a breakpoint in your code and apply the Terraform config: terraform apply.
6. Debugging.
