Notes

Note

  • To use this module, it is required to set the below environment variables which enables access to the Centurylink Cloud - CLC_V2_API_USERNAME, the account login id for the centurylink cloud - CLC_V2_API_PASSWORD, the account password for the centurylink cloud
  • Alternatively, the module accepts the API token and account alias. The API token can be generated using the CLC account login and password via the HTTP api call @ https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login - CLC_V2_API_TOKEN, the API token generated from https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login - CLC_ACCT_ALIAS, the account alias associated with the centurylink cloud
  • Users can set CLC_V2_API_URL to specify an endpoint for pointing to a different CLC environment.
