![]() ![]() I personally preferred the first one as I can re-use the managed Kubernetes cluster for creating namespaces via with cloud templates but that’s a different topic. ![]() In the second option, External Kubeconfig, you don’t need to add an external managed Kubernetes cluster, instead of, just copy and paste the entire content of the Kubeconfig file for the cluster you want to access and provide a valid namespace in that environment. The Terraform Run Time defines a Kubernetes Namespace integration point for executing the Terraform Jobs, you have two options, Managed Kubernetes cluster or External Kubeconfig, in the first one you will need to add a Kubernetes Integration to vRealize Automation 8.2, this could be a newly deployed Kubernetes endpoint or by adding an existing one, which it is what I did, in my case I added an existing Kubernetes Cluster v1.14 and I created a new namespace myterraform, please note this is not managed or assigned to any Project by vRealize Automation 8.2 since this is shared for the whole environment. For the vRealize Automation 8.2 there is an extra integration step, referred as Terraform Run Time, please note, this is only required for vRealize Automation 8.2, when using vRealize Automation Cloud this is not needed at all. Please note, that you can have multiple versions for the Terraform Open Source binary, that can be downloaded from repositories with “Basic Authentication” or “No Authentication”Īnd call them independently inside a Cloud Template.ĥ. Verify that 0.12.26 is listed, enabled and with similar settings as below, otherwise you could add it : Go to “Cloud Assembly”, “Infrastructure”, “Configure”, “Terraform Versions” Verify that at least one valid Terraform Version is registered and available. You can leave “Folder” empty, ADD then SAVE.Ĥ. Look for your newly created GitHub integration and open it, go to “Projects”, click on + ADD PROJECT , search for your own project and hit NEXT, this will open the “ Add Repository” dialog box, prompting you for the following input: Go to “Cloud Assembly”, “Infrastructure”, “Connections”, “Integrations”, click on + ADD INTEGRATION select “GitHub”, you will be prompted to provide a “ Name“, and also a Github’s Personal Token with enough permission to access the repository, VALIDATE, and if successful, ADD. Create a GitHub integration and associate your own project.Īs mentioned previously, vRealize Automation needs to access the Terraform Configuration files store at the GitHub repository for that, Please note that the public GitHub and Gitlab are currently supported in vRAC however Enterprise versions and Bitbucket are planned to be introduced in vRA 8.2 GA timeframe.ģ. Moffzilla/terraformbp ( Deploys 2 X AWS EC2 ) You can find a set of Terraform Configuration files in the Working with Terraform GitHub Repository let’s use a simple Terraform plan: You also need to group your Terraform Configuration files into folders, that later on, you could easily reference at the Blueprint Terraform Construct. The Terraform Configuration files ( *.tf, *.tfvars, etc) need to be store at a GitHub repository. Inside your project, you need to make sure that at the bottom under “Cloud Zone Mapping for Cloud Template Terraform Resources”, you have “Allow terraform cloud zone mapping” enabled.Ģ. You will need to have a previously configured an AWS Account, Cloud Zone and Project that consumes those resources. Simply put, configure Terraform Templates and configurations as a native Cloud Template resource and take advantage of all vRealize Automation capabilities ( Governance, Self-Service Catalog, Extensibility, Life-Cycle Management, Approval, Leases, etc).Īll Terraform providers, non-certified, available in the Registry, including the ones used to provision VMware resources (e.g., NSX, VMC on AWS, vSphere) will be supported.ġ. This means that you will be able to consume Terraform Configuration and Templates as a native Resource Type in your Cloud Templates (AKA Blueprints), you will find now a new Terraform Resource Construct at the vRealize Automation design canvas, that will “Front-End” the Terraform Configurations and Templates stored in a Version Control System (VCS). ![]() You probably are aware of the Terraform Provider for vRealize Automation 8 and Cloud and hopefully have read already Sam McGeown’s Blog about it, however with the latest August release for vRealize Automation Cloud ( and in the upcoming vRealize Automation 8.2 ) Terraform OSS becomes a first-class citizen in vRealize Automation. This allows you to use Terraform 1.0 and provide the latest support for it. Update July 2022 – The vRealize Automation Terraform Service and accompanying Terraform provider now supports Terraform CLI 1.0. ![]()
