Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• region - (Optional) The region in which to create the server instance. If omitted, the region argument of the provider is used. Changing this creates a new server.

• name - (Required) A unique name for the resource.

• image_id - (Optional; Required if image_name is empty and not booting from a volume. Do not specify if booting from a volume.) The image ID of the desired image for the server. Changing this creates a new server.

• image_name - (Optional; Required if image_id is empty and not booting from a volume. Do not specify if booting from a volume.) The name of the desired image for the server. Changing this creates a new server.

• flavor_id - (Optional; Required if flavor_name is empty) The flavor ID of the desired flavor for the server. Changing this resizes the existing server.

• flavor_name - (Optional; Required if flavor_id is empty) The name of the desired flavor for the server. Changing this resizes the existing server.

• user_data - (Optional) The user data to provide when launching the instance. Changing this creates a new server.

• security_groups - (Optional) An array of one or more security group names to associate with the server. Changing this results in adding/removing security groups from the existing server. Note: When attaching the instance to networks using Ports, place the security groups on the Port and not the instance.

• availability_zone - (Optional) The availability zone in which to create the server. Changing this creates a new server.

• network - (Optional) An array of one or more networks to attach to the instance. The network object structure is documented below. Changing this creates a new server.

• metadata - (Optional) Metadata key/value pairs to make available from within the instance. Changing this updates the existing server metadata.

• config_drive - (Optional) Whether to use the config_drive feature to configure the instance. Changing this creates a new server.

• admin_pass - (Optional) The administrative password to assign to the server. Changing this changes the root password on the existing server.

• key_pair - (Optional) The name of a key pair to put on the server. The key pair must already be created and associated with the tenant's account. Changing this creates a new server.

• block_device - (Optional) Configuration of block devices. The block_device structure is documented below. Changing this creates a new server. You can specify multiple block devices which will create an instance with multiple disks. This configuration is very flexible, so please see the following reference for more information.

• scheduler_hints - (Optional) Provide the Nova scheduler with hints on how the instance should be launched. The available hints are described below.

• personality - (Optional) Customize the personality of an instance by defining one or more files and their contents. The personality structure is described below.

• stop_before_destroy - (Optional) Whether to try stop instance gracefully before destroying it, thus giving chance for guest OS daemons to stop correctly. If instance doesn't stop within timeout, it will be destroyed anyway.

• force_delete - (Optional) Whether to force the OpenStack instance to be forcefully deleted. This is useful for environments that have reclaim / soft deletion enabled.

The network block supports:

• uuid - (Required unless port or name is provided) The network UUID to attach to the server. Changing this creates a new server.

• name - (Required unless uuid or port is provided) The human-readable name of the network. Changing this creates a new server.

• port - (Required unless uuid or name is provided) The port UUID of a network to attach to the server. Changing this creates a new server.

• fixed_ip_v4 - (Optional) Specifies a fixed IPv4 address to be used on this network. Changing this creates a new server.

The block_device block supports:

• uuid - (Required unless source_type is set to "blank" ) The UUID of the image, volume, or snapshot. Changing this creates a new server.

• source_type - (Required) The source type of the device. Must be one of "blank", "image", "volume", or "snapshot". Changing this creates a new server.

• volume_size - The size of the volume to create (in gigabytes). Required in the following combinations: source=image and destination=volume, source=blank and destination=local, and source=blank and destination=volume. Changing this creates a new server.

• boot_index - (Optional) The boot index of the volume. It defaults to 0. Changing this creates a new server.

• destination_type - (Optional) The type that gets created. Possible values are "volume" and "local". Changing this creates a new server.

• delete_on_termination - (Optional) Delete the volume / block device upon termination of the instance. Defaults to false. Changing this creates a new server.

The scheduler_hints block supports:

• group - (Optional) A UUID of a Server Group. The instance will be placed into that group.

• different_host - (Optional) A list of instance UUIDs. The instance will be scheduled on a different host than all other instances.

• same_host - (Optional) A list of instance UUIDs. The instance will be scheduled on the same host of those specified.

• query - (Optional) A conditional query that a compute node must pass in order to host an instance.

• target_cell - (Optional) The name of a cell to host the instance.

• build_near_host_ip - (Optional) An IP Address in CIDR form. The instance will be placed on a compute node that is in the same subnet.

Notes

Multiple Ephemeral Disks

It's possible to specify multiple block_device entries to create an instance with multiple ephemeral (local) disks. In order to create multiple ephemeral disks, the sum of the total amount of ephemeral space must be less than or equal to what the chosen flavor supports.

The following example shows how to create an instance with multiple ephemeral disks:

resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "foo" {
  name            = "terraform-test"
  security_groups = ["default"]

  block_device {
    boot_index            = 0
    delete_on_termination = true
    destination_type      = "local"
    source_type           = "image"
    uuid                  = "<image uuid>"
  }

  block_device {
    boot_index            = -1
    delete_on_termination = true
    destination_type      = "local"
    source_type           = "blank"
    volume_size           = 1
  }

  block_device {
    boot_index            = -1
    delete_on_termination = true
    destination_type      = "local"
    source_type           = "blank"
    volume_size           = 1
  }
}

Instances and Security Groups

When referencing a security group resource in an instance resource, always use the name of the security group. If you specify the ID of the security group, Terraform will remove and reapply the security group upon each call. This is because the OpenStack Compute API returns the names of the associated security groups and not their IDs.

Note the following example:

resource "openstack_networking_secgroup_v2" "sg_1" {
  name = "sg_1"
}

resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "foo" {
  name            = "terraform-test"
  security_groups = ["${openstack_networking_secgroup_v2.sg_1.name}"]
}

Instances and Ports

Neutron Ports are a great feature and provide a lot of functionality. However, there are some notes to be aware of when mixing Instances and Ports:

• In OpenStack environments prior to the Kilo release, deleting or recreating an Instance will cause the Instance's Port(s) to be deleted. One way of working around this is to taint any Port(s) used in Instances which are to be recreated. See here for further information.

• When attaching an Instance to one or more networks using Ports, place the security groups on the Port and not the Instance. If you place the security groups on the Instance, the security groups will not be applied upon creation, but they will be applied upon a refresh. This is a known OpenStack bug.

• Network IP information is not available within an instance for networks that are attached with Ports. This is mostly due to the flexibility Neutron Ports provide when it comes to IP addresses. For example, a Neutron Port can have multiple Fixed IP addresses associated with it. It's not possible to know which single IP address the user would want returned to the Instance's state information. Therefore, in order for a Provisioner to connect to an Instance via it's network Port, customize the connection information:

resource "openstack_networking_port_v2" "port_1" {
  name           = "port_1"
  admin_state_up = "true"

  network_id = "0a1d0a27-cffa-4de3-92c5-9d3fd3f2e74d"

  security_group_ids = [
    "2f02d20a-8dca-49b7-b26f-b6ce9fddaf4f",
    "ca1e5ed7-dae8-4605-987b-fadaeeb30461",
  ]
}

resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "instance_1" {
  name = "instance_1"

  network {
    port = "${openstack_networking_port_v2.port_1.id}"
  }

  connection {
    user        = "root"
    host        = "${openstack_networking_port_v2.port_1.fixed_ip.0.ip_address}"
    private_key = "~/path/to/key"
  }

  provisioner "remote-exec" {
    inline = [
      "echo terraform executed > /tmp/foo",
    ]
  }
}
