Terraform Provider for Verda Cloud

Terraform/OpenTofu provider for managing Verda Cloud infrastructure.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0
• Go >= 1.23 (for development)
• Verda Cloud account with API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)

Beta version

This software is currently in beta and will contain bugs. Please try it out and report your issues in the repository.

As the provider is not yet in the Terraform registry, the local version needs to be referred in your .terraformrc file:

provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
    "verda-cloud/verda" = "/path/to/binary/terraform-provider-verda"
  }

  direct {}
}

The binary can be downloaded to your machine from the Releases page. Usage instructions and examples can be found from the examples directory.

Using the Provider

Installation

To use this provider, add it to your Terraform configuration:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    verda = {
      source = "verda-cloud/verda"
    }
  }
}

provider "verda" {
  client_id     = var.verda_client_id
  client_secret = var.verda_client_secret
  # base_url    = "https://api.verda.com/v1"  # Optional, defaults to this value
}

Authentication

The provider supports the following methods for providing credentials:

1. Provider Configuration (shown above)
2. Environment Variables:
   • VERDA_CLIENT_ID
   • VERDA_CLIENT_SECRET
   • VERDA_BASE_URL (optional)

Resources

The provider currently supports the following resources:

verda_ssh_key

Manages SSH keys for accessing Verda instances.

resource "verda_ssh_key" "example" {
  name       = "my-ssh-key"
  public_key = file("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")
}

verda_startup_script

Manages startup scripts that can be executed when instances are created.

resource "verda_startup_script" "example" {
  name   = "setup-script"
  script = <<-EOF
    #!/bin/bash
    apt-get update
    apt-get install -y docker.io
  EOF
}

verda_volume

Manages storage volumes.

resource "verda_volume" "example" {
  name     = "terraform-test-volume"
  size     = 100  # Size in GB
  type     = "NVMe"
  location = "FIN-01"
}

verda_instance

Manages compute instances.

resource "verda_instance" "example" {
  instance_type = "small"
  image         = "ubuntu-22.04"
  hostname      = "my-instance"
  description   = "Example instance"
  location      = "FIN-01"

  ssh_key_ids = [verda_ssh_key.example.id]

  startup_script_id = verda_startup_script.example.id

  # Optional: Create new volumes
  volumes = [
    {
      name = "terraform-data-volume"
      size = 500
      type = "NVMe"
    }
  ]


  # Optional: Attach existing volumes
  existing_volumes = [verda_volume.example.id]
}

Building the Provider

To build the provider from source:

git clone https://github.com/verda-cloud/terraform-provider-verda
cd terraform-provider-verda
go build

Development

Local Testing

To test the provider locally, you can use Terraform's development overrides. Create a .terraformrc file in your home directory:

provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
    "verda-cloud/verda" = "/path/to/terraform-provider-verda"
  }

  direct {}
}

Then build the provider and use it in your Terraform configurations.
