VMC Terraform Scripts

This project contains Terraform scripts for deploying systems to VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS.

Build

Build the docker image from this directory with the following command:

$ docker build -t vmctf .

Configuration

The environment variables listed below are common to all of the Terraform scripts in this repository:

Environment Variable	Description
VSPHERE_SERVER	The IP/FQDN of the vSphere server
VSPHERE_USER	A vSphere username used to create/destroy vSphere resources
VSPHERE_PASSWORD	The password for VSPHERE_USER

Provision

New systems may be provisioned with the script run.sh:

usage: run.sh deploy|destroy SYSTEM

Supported systems are:

• openldap

Transforming Environment Variables

The script looks for environment variables with the prefix VMCTF_(.*) and writes them to a temporary file as $1 and TF_VAR_lcase($1). For example:

$ export VMCTF_NAME=hello
$ export VMCTF_FQDN=hello.com

The script will create a temporary file with the following contents:

NAME=hello
TF_VAR_name=hello
FQDN=hello
TF_VAR_fqdn=hello

The temporary file is used as the environment variable file when launching a new container for the Docker image vmctf.
