Terraform Examples with the Nutanix Terraform Provider

The Terraform configurations in this repository demonstrate how to use the Nutanix Terraform provider.

Main concepts covered in the intro/ directory:

• Adding nutanix as a required provider
• Creating a Nutanix AHV image that can be used as the base disk for a Nutanix AHV-hosted virtual machine
• Specification of a Nutanix AHV-hosted virtual machine, including custom virtual resource spec (vCPU, vRAM, storage, networking)
• Using Terraform variables to specify Nutanix Prism Central connection parameters:
  • Prism Central endpoint/IP address
  • Credentials
  • Cluster name for virtual machine deployment
  • Subnet name for new virtual machine network connection
• Please see the related Nutanix.dev blog and video for a guided walk-through!

Usage

• Clone this repository to your local system:

  git clone https://github.com/nutanixdev/terraform_blog.git

• Change to the subdirectory and edit the terraform.tfvars variables for your environment

• Initialise, plan, and apply the Terraform configuration. For example:
