Terraform scripts for deploying systems to VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS

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.
