Provision virtual machines with the Compute Terraform provider

This product is in closed beta testing. If you need an access, please contact your sales manager or fill in the form here:

Overview

The Compute Terraform provider lets you provision compute-cloud virtual machines as code. It works with both Terraform and OpenTofu. The provider is published to the self-hosted Terralist registry, so you need registry access configured (authority impossiblecloud, provider compute).

Install the provider

Add the provider to your configuration, then run terraform init (or tofu init) to pull it from the registry.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    compute = {
      source  = "terralist.impossiblecloud.network/impossiblecloud/compute"
      version = "0.0.2"
    }
  }
}

Configure the provider

provider "compute" {
  endpoint = "https://<your-compute-cloud-endpoint>"
}

Argument	Type	Required	Description
`endpoint`	String	Optional	Base URL of the compute-cloud API. Falls back to the `COMPUTE_CLOUD_ENDPOINT` environment variable when unset.

Define a virtual machine

The compute_virtual_machine resource manages a single VirtualMachine. You set the name and a template, and the provider creates the VM and tracks its runtime state.

resource "compute_virtual_machine" "example" {
  name = "myvm"

  template = {
    name = "ubuntu"
    parameters = {
      INSTANCETYPE = "g1.8xlarge"
      MAC          = "02:00:00:de:ad:01" # required — must be unique per VM
    }
  }
}

The public IP is populated once the LoadBalancer is provisioned:

output "vm_ip" {
  value = compute_virtual_machine.example.network.ip
}

Required arguments

Name	Type	Description
`name`	String	Name of the VirtualMachine.
`template`	Attributes	VirtualMachineTemplate to instantiate the VM from. See the template block below.

Optional arguments

Name	Type	Description
`timeouts`	Block	See the timeouts block below.
`wait_for`	Attributes	Block until the VM's runtime output matches all `fields` entries. Applied during Create only. See the wait_for block below.

Read-only attributes

Name	Type	Description
`id`	String	Identifier of the VirtualMachine. Equal to `name`.
`network`	Attributes	Public network endpoint, exposed via a LoadBalancer Service. Null when no Service is configured. See the network block below.
`state`	Attributes	Runtime status of the VirtualMachine and its associated LoadBalancer Service. See the state block below.

Nested attributes

template

Required

Name	Type	Description
`name`	String	Name of the VirtualMachineTemplate.

Optional

Name	Type	Description
`parameters`	Map of String	Template parameter values. The `NAME` parameter is set automatically by the server.
