vsphere_virtual_machine

Provides a VMware vSphere virtual machine resource. This can be used to create, modify, and delete virtual machines.

Example Usage

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "web" {
  name   = "terraform_web"
  vcpu   = 2
  memory = 4096

  network_interface {
    label = "VM Network"
  }

  disk {
    template = "centos-7"
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) The virtual machine name
  • vcpu - (Required) The number of virtual CPUs to allocate to the virtual machine
  • memory - (Required) The amount of RAM (in MB) to allocate to the virtual machine
  • datacenter - (Optional) The name of a Datacenter in which to launch the virtual machine
  • cluster - (Optional) Name of a Cluster in which to launch the virtual machine
  • resource_pool (Optional) The name of a Resource Pool in which to launch the virtual machine
  • gateway - (Optional) Gateway IP address to use for all network interfaces
  • domain - (Optional) A FQDN for the virtual machine; defaults to "vsphere.local"
  • time_zone - (Optional) The Linux or Windows time zone to set on the virtual machine. Defaults to "Etc/UTC"
  • dns_suffixes - (Optional) List of name resolution suffixes for the virtual network adapter
  • dns_servers - (Optional) List of DNS servers for the virtual network adapter; defaults to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
  • network_interface - (Required) Configures virtual network interfaces; see Network Interfaces below for details.
  • disk - (Required) Configures virtual disks; see Disks below for details
  • boot_delay - (Optional) Time in seconds to wait for machine network to be ready.
  • windows_opt_config - (Optional) Extra options for clones of Windows machines.
  • linked_clone - (Optional) Specifies if the new machine is a linked clone of another machine or not.
  • custom_configuration_parameters - (Optional) Map of values that is set as virtual machine custom configurations.

The network_interface block supports:

  • label - (Required) Label to assign to this network interface
  • ipv4_address - (Optional) Static IP to assign to this network interface. Interface will use DHCP if this is left blank. Currently only IPv4 IP addresses are supported.
  • ipv4_prefix_length - (Optional) prefix length to use when statically assigning an IP.

The following arguments are maintained for backwards compatibility and may be removed in a future version:

  • ip_address - _Deprecated, please use ipv4_address instead.
  • subnet_mask - _Deprecated, please use ipv4_prefix_length instead.

The windows_opt_config block supports:

  • product_key - (Optional) Serial number for new installation of Windows. This serial number is ignored if the original guest operating system was installed using a volume-licensed CD.
  • admin_password - (Optional) The password for the new administrator account. Omit for passwordless admin (using "" does not work).
  • domain - (Optional) Domain that the new machine will be placed into. If domain, domain_user, and domain_user_password are not all set, all three will be ignored.
  • domain_user - (Optional) User that is a member of the specified domain.
  • domain_user_password - (Optional) Password for domain user, in plain text.

The disk block supports:

  • template - (Required if size not provided) Template for this disk.
  • datastore - (Optional) Datastore for this disk
  • size - (Required if template not provided) Size of this disk (in GB).
  • iops - (Optional) Number of virtual iops to allocate for this disk.
  • type - (Optional) 'eager_zeroed' (the default), or 'thin' are supported options.
