Example Usage

# Provision a server
resource "clc_server" "node" {
  name_template    = "trusty"
  source_server_id = "UBUNTU-14-64-TEMPLATE"
  group_id         = "${clc_group.frontends.id}"
  cpu              = 2
  memory_mb        = 2048
  password         = "Green123$"

  additional_disks {
    path    = "/var"
    size_gb = 100
    type    = "partitioned"
  }

  additional_disks {
    size_gb = 10
    type    = "raw"
  }
}

output "server_id" {
  value = "clc_server.node.id"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

name_template - (Required, string) The basename of the server. A unique name will be generated by the platform.
source_server_id - (Required, string) The name or ID of the base OS image. Examples: "ubuntu-14-64-template", "rhel-7-64-template", "win2012r2dtc-64"
group_id - (Required, string) The name or ID of the server group to spawn server into.
cpu - (Required, int) The number of virtual cores
memory_mb - (Required, int) Provisioned RAM
type - (Required, string) The virtualization type One of "standard", "hyperscale", "bareMetal"
password - (Optional, string) The root/administrator password. Will be generated by platform if not provided.
description - (Optional, string) Description for server (visible in control portal only)
power_state - (Optional, string) See PowerStates below for details. If absent, defaults to started.
private_ip_address - (Optional, string) Set internal IP address. If absent, allocated and assigned from pool.
network_id - (Optional, string) GUID of network to use. (Must be set up in advance from control portal.) When absent, the default network will be used.
storage_type - (Optional, string) Backup and replication strategy for disks. One of "standard", "premium"
aa_policy_id - (Optional, string | hyperscale) Anti-Affinity policy ID
configuration_id - (Optional, string | bareMetal) Hardware configuration ID
os_type - (Optional, string | bareMetal) Operating system to install.
additional_disks - (Optional) See Disks below for details.
custom_fields - (Optional) See CustomFields below for details.
metadata - (Optional) Misc state storage for non-CLC metadata.

Server Types

standard

Cloud servers standard offer basic, commodity level performance with mixed spindle/SSD storage profiles. Additional features storage backups, snapshot/clone/archive, and widespread availability.

hyperscale

Hyperscale hyperscale servers offer significantly higher IOPS than standard servers for CPU and IO intensive servers. See the FAQ for more details.

Physical host redundancy can be managed via Anti-Affinity policies.

bareMetal

Bare metal bareMetal offers optimal compute performance and is available in select datacenters in CLC for approved customers. For more info see the FAQ.

For bareMetal, the required fields source_server_id, cpu, and memory_mb are ignored and instead the following fields are required:

configuration_id
os_type

Values for configuration_id and os_type are specific to each datacenter and are available via the API endpoints here.

PowerStates

power_state may be used to set initial power state or modify existing instances.

on | started - machine powered on
off | stopped - machine powered off forcefully
paused - freeze machine: memory, processes, billing, monitoring.
shutdown - shutdown gracefully
reboot - restart gracefully
reset - restart forcefully

Disks

additional_disks is a block within the configuration that may be repeated to specify the attached disks on a server. Each additional_disks block supports the following:

type - (Required, string) Either "raw" or "partitioned".
size_gb - (Required, int) Size of allocated disk.
path - (Required, string, type:partitioned) The mountpoint for the disk.

CustomFields

custom_fields is a block within the configuration that may be repeated to bind custom fields for a server. CustomFields need be set up in advance. Each custom_fields block supports the following:

id - (Required, string) The ID of the custom field to set.
value - (Required, string) The value for the specified field.

Packages

packages is a block within the configuration that may be repeated to specify packages and their associated parameters to be run at instantiation. Packages facilitate various tasks like ssh key installation, kernel upgrades, etc. Package ID as well as parameters are configured via this block.

Example:

# Configure the CLC Provider
provider "clc_server" "ubuntu" {
  # ...
  packages {
    id     = "77abb844-579d-478d-3955-c69ab4a7ba1a"
    SshKey = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAA..."
  }
}
