Create a network drive

Create a network drive

We recommend create resources in order. If you create all the resources that are described in the configuration file The Terraform creates resources regardless of the order in which they are listed in the file.

  1. Optional: configure your ISPs.

  2. Create a network drive.

    For everyone network disk types Except for the Universal v2 type, the number of IOPS is fixed and depends on the disk type. For network drives of the Universal v2 type, you can change the total IOPS of the disk by increasing or decreasing it. The number of IOPS changes is unlimited. The available IOPS in different disk types can be viewed in the subsection Network disk limits.

    You can create a disk:

    • from the image — you can use it as a cloud server boot disk;
    • or empty — you can use it as an additional disk.

Configuration files

Example file for configuring providers
terraform {
required_providers {
selectel = {
source = "selectel/selectel"
version = "6.0.0"
}
openstack = {
source = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"
version = "2.1.0"
}
}
}

provider "selectel" {
domain_name = "123456"
username = "user"
password = "password"
auth_region = "pool"
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"
}
Sample file for creating a network disk from an image
data "openstack_images_image_v2" "image_1" {
name = "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit"
most_recent = true
visibility = "public"
}

resource "openstack_blockstorage_volume_v3" "volume_1" {
name = "boot-volume-for-server"
size = "5"
image_id = data.openstack_images_image_v2.image_1.id
volume_type = "fast.ru-9a"
availability_zone = "ru-9a"
enable_online_resize = true

lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [image_id]
}

}
Sample file for creating an empty network disk
resource "openstack_blockstorage_volume_v3" "volume_2" {
name = "additional-volume-for-server"
size = "7"
volume_type = "universal.ru-9a"
availability_zone = "ru-9a"
enable_online_resize = true
}

optional: configure providers

If you're set up the ISPs Selectel and OpenStack, skip this step.

  1. Make sure that in the control panel you created a service user with the Account Administrator and User Administrator roles.

  2. Create a directory to store the configuration files and a separate file with the extension .tf to configure the ISPs.

  3. Add Selectel and OpenStack providers to the file to configure the providers:

    terraform {
    required_providers {
    selectel = {
    source = "selectel/selectel"
    version = "6.0.0"
    }
    openstack = {
    source = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"
    version = "2.1.0"
    }
    }
    }

    Here version — provider versions. The current version can be found in the Selectel documentation (in the Terraform Registry and GitHub) and OpenStack (in Terraform Registry and GitHub).

    Read more about products, services and services that can be managed with providers in the instructions Selectel and OpenStack providers.

  4. Initialize the Selectel provider:

    provider "selectel" {
    domain_name = "123456"
    username = "user"
    password = "password"
    auth_region = "pool"
    auth_url = "https://cloud.api.selcloud.ru/identity/v3/"
    }

    Here:

    • domain_name — Selectel account number. You can look in control panels in the upper right-hand corner;
    • username — name service user with the Account Administrator and User Administrator roles. You can look in control panels: section Identity & Access ManagementUser management → tab Service users (the section is only available to the Account Owner and User Administrator);
    • password — service user password. You can view it when creating a user or change to a new one.
  5. Create a project:

    resource "selectel_vpc_project_v2" "project_1" {
    name = "project"
    }

    Check out the detailed description of the resource selectel_vpc_project_v2.

  6. Create a service user to access the project and assign the Project Administrator role to it:

    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
    }
    }

    Here:

    • username — username;
    • password — user password. The password must be no shorter than eight characters and contain Latin letters of different cases and digits;
    • project_id — Project ID. You can look in control panels: section Cloud platform → open the project menu (name of the current project) → in the line of the desired project, click .

    Check out the detailed description of the resource selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.

  7. 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.id
    user_name = selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.name
    password = selectel_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.password
    region = "ru-9"
    }

    Here:

    • domain_name — Selectel account number. You can look in control panels in the upper right-hand corner;
    • region — pool for example ru-9. All resources will be created in this pool. The list of available pools can be found in the instructions Availability matrices.
  8. If at the same time you are setting up your providers resource creation then for OpenStack resources add the argument depends_on. 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
    ]
    }
  9. Optional: if you want to use a mirror, create a separate Terraform CLI configuration file and add a block to it:

    provider_installation {
    network_mirror {
    url = "https://tf-proxy.selectel.ru/mirror/v1/"
    include = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]
    }
    direct {
    exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"]
    }
    }

    Read more about mirror settings in the manual CLI Configuration File HashiCorp documentation.

  10. Open the CLI.

  11. Initialize the Terraform configuration in the directory:

    terraform init
  12. Check that the configuration files have been compiled without errors:

    terraform validate
  13. Format the configuration files:

    terraform fmt
  14. Check the resources that will be created:

    terraform plan
  15. Apply the changes and create the resources:

    terraform apply
  16. Confirm creation — enter yes and press Enter. The created resources are displayed in the control panel.

  17. If there were insufficient quotas to create resources, increase quotas.

Create a network drive

For everyone network disk types Except for the Universal v2 type, the number of IOPS is fixed and depends on the disk type. The available number of IOPS in different disk types can be viewed in the subsection Network disk limits.

  1. Get an image.
  2. Create a network drive.

Get an image

data "openstack_images_image_v2" "image_1" {
name = "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit"
most_recent = true
visibility = "public"
}

Check out the detailed description of the data source openstack_images_image_v2.

Create a network disk from the image

resource "openstack_blockstorage_volume_v3" "volume_1" {
name = "boot-volume-for-server"
size = "5"
image_id = data.openstack_images_image_v2.image_1.id
volume_type = "fast.ru-9a"
availability_zone = "ru-9a"
enable_online_resize = true

lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [image_id]
}

}
