» CloudStack Provider
The CloudStack provider is used to interact with the many resources supported by CloudStack. The provider needs to be configured with a URL pointing to a running CloudStack API and the proper credentials before it can be used.
In order to provide the required configuration options you can either
supply values for the api_url
, api_key
and secret_key
fields, or
for the config
and profile
fields. A combination of both is not
allowed and will not work.
Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
» Example Usage
# Configure the CloudStack Provider
provider "cloudstack" {
api_url = "${var.cloudstack_api_url}"
api_key = "${var.cloudstack_api_key}"
secret_key = "${var.cloudstack_secret_key}"
}
# Create a web server
resource "cloudstack_instance" "web" {
# ...
}
