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!
