cloud.ca Terraform provider example

Basic environment creation using terraform on cloud.ca This terraform example will create:

• an environment named "tf-demo" in the compute Quebec region,
• a VPC service with 2 network tiers as network topology,
• 2 VM instances of 2vcpu, 1GBram
• Port forwarding rule for SSH access to one VM.

This example currently work with Terraform 0.12.x.

Install Terraform

• Install Terraform, https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

How to use

• generate ssh keys, with ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N "" -f ./id_rsa for example
• create a file terraform.tfvars containing at least the following variables:
  • api_key = your cloud.ca API key
  • organization_name = name used to connect to cloud.ca - <organization_name>.cloud.ca

terraform.tfvars example:

api_key = "<api key>"
organization_name = "demo"

deploy the environment

terraform init
terraform validate
terraform apply

Once the terraform job is completed, you can ssh the web instance thru ssh cca-user@<PUBLIC IP> -i id_rsa

remove the environment from cloud.ca

terraform destroy
