Create a cloud server flavor via Terraform
We recommend creating resources sequentially. If you create all resources at the same time, Terraform will take into account the dependencies between resources that you specified in the configuration file. If dependencies are not specified, resources will be created in parallel, which may lead to errors. For example, a resource required to create another resource may not be created yet.
- Optional: configure providers.
- Create a flavor with a network or local drive.
Configuration files
Example file for configuring providers
terraform {
required_providers {
selectel = {
source = "selectel/selectel"
version = "~> 6.0"
}
openstack = {
source = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"
version = "2.1.0"
}
}
}
provider "selectel" {
domain_name = "123456"
username = "user"
password = "password"
auth_region = "ru-9"
auth_url = "https://cloud.api.selcloud.ru/identity/v3/"
}
resource "selectel_vpc_project_v2" "project_1" {
name = "project"
}
resource "selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1" "serviceuser_1" {
name = "username"
password = "password"
role {
role_name = "member"
scope = "project"
project_id = selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1.id
}
}
provider "openstack" {
auth_url = "https://cloud.api.selcloud.ru/identity/v3"
domain_name = "123456"
tenant_id = selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1.id
user_name = selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.name
password = selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.password
region = "ru-9"
}
Example file for creating a flavor with a network volume
resource "openstack_compute_flavor_v2" "flavor_1" {
name = "custom-flavor-with-network-volume"
vcpus = 2
ram = 2048
disk = 0
is_public = false
lifecycle {
create_before_destroy = true
}
}
Example file for creating a flavor with a local volume
resource "openstack_compute_flavor_v2" "flavor_2" {
name = "custom-flavor-with-local-disk"
vcpus = 2
ram = 8096
disk = 20
is_public = false
lifecycle {
create_before_destroy = true
}
}
1. Optional: configure providers
If you configured the providers for Selectel and OpenStack, skip this step.
-
Make sure that in the control panel you have created a service user with the
memberroles in the Account scope andiam.admin. -
Create a directory to store configuration files and a separate file with the
.tfextension to configure providers. -
Add the Selectel and OpenStack providers to the file for provider configuration:
terraform {required_providers {selectel = {source = "selectel/selectel"version = "~> 7.1.0"}openstack = {source = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"version = "2.1.0"}}}Here
versionis provider versions. You can check the current version in the Selectel documentation (in the Terraform Registry and GitHub) and OpenStack (in the Terraform Registry and GitHub).For more information about products, services, and features that can be managed using providers, see the Selectel and OpenStack Providers instructions.
-
Initialize the Selectel provider:
provider "selectel" {domain_name = "123456"username = "user"password = "password"auth_region = "ru-9"auth_url = "https://cloud.api.selcloud.ru/identity/v3/"}Where:
domain_name— Selectel account number. You can find it in the control panel in the upper-right corner;username— name of the service user with thememberroles in the Account scope andiam.admin. You can find it in the control panel: in the top menu, click IAM → Service Users (the section is available only to the Account Owner and a user with theiam.adminrole);password— password of the service user. You can view it when creating the user or change it to a new one;auth_region— pool for authorization in theru-9format; do not use pools in theSPB-2format. The pool for authorization may differ from the pool where you create resources. You can check the list of available pools in the Product Availability by Location instructions.
-
Create a project:
resource "selectel_vpc_project_v2" "project_1" {name = "project"}See the detailed description of the selectel_vpc_project_v2 resource.
-
Create a service user to access the project and assign them the
memberrole in the Project scope:resource "selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1" "serviceuser_1" {name = "username"password = "password"role {role_name = "member"scope = "project"project_id = selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1.id}}Where:
-
username— username; -
password— user password. The password must be at least 20 characters long and include at least:- one uppercase and one lowercase Latin letter (
A-Z,a-z); - one digit (
0-9); - one special character from the ASCII Printable 7-Bit Special Characters list:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~;
- one uppercase and one lowercase Latin letter (
-
project_id— project ID. You can find it in the control panel: in the top menu, click IAM → Projects → in the row of the desired project, click .
See the detailed description of the selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1 resource.
-
-
Initialize the OpenStack provider:
provider "openstack" {auth_url = "https://cloud.api.selcloud.ru/identity/v3"domain_name = "123456"tenant_id = selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1.iduser_name = selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.namepassword = selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.passwordregion = "ru-9"}Where:
domain_name— Selectel account number. You can find it in the control panel in the upper-right corner;region— pool, for example,ru-9. All resources will be created in this pool. You can check the list of available pools in the Product Availability by Location instructions.
-
If you create resources at the same time as configuring providers, add the
depends_onargument for OpenStack resources. For example, for the openstack_networking_network_v2 resource:resource "openstack_networking_network_v2" "network_1" {name = "private-network"admin_state_up = "true"depends_on = [selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1,selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1]} -
Optional: if you want to use a mirror, create a separate Terraform CLI configuration file and add the following block to it:
provider_installation {network_mirror {url = "https://tf-proxy.selectel.ru/mirror/v1/"include = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]}direct {exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]}}For more information about mirror settings, see the CLI Configuration File instructions in the HashiCorp documentation.
-
Open the CLI.
-
Initialize the Terraform configuration in the directory:
terraform init -
Verify that the configuration files are syntactically correct:
terraform validate -
Format the configuration files:
terraform fmt -
Check which resources will be created:
terraform plan -
Apply the changes and create the resources:
terraform apply -
Confirm the creation — enter yes and press Enter. The created resources will appear in the control panel.
-
If there are not enough quotas to create resources, increase quotas.
2. Create a flavor
The flavor will be available only to the single service user, project, and pool for which you configured the OpenStack provider.
With a network volume
With a local volume
resource "openstack_compute_flavor_v2" "flavor_1" {
name = "custom-flavor-with-network-volume"
vcpus = 2
ram = 2048
disk = 0
is_public = false
lifecycle {
create_before_destroy = true
}
}
Where:
vcpus— number of vCPUs;ram— RAM size in MB;disk— local disk size in GB. To create a flavor with a network drive, the value must be zero.
Consider the available values of custom configurations for lines.
See the detailed description of the openstack_compute_flavor_v2 resource.
