softlayer\virtual_guest

Provides virtual guest resource. This allows virtual guests to be created, updated and deleted. For additional details please refer to API documentation.

Example Usage

# Create a new virtual guest using image "Debian"
resource "softlayer_virtual_guest" "twc_terraform_sample" {
    name = "twc-terraform-sample-name"
    domain = "bar.example.com"
    image = "DEBIAN_7_64"
    region = "ams01"
    public_network_speed = 10
    hourly_billing = true
    private_network_only = false
    cpu = 1
    ram = 1024
    disks = [25, 10, 20]
    user_data = "{\"value\":\"newvalue\"}"
    dedicated_acct_host_only = true
    local_disk = false
    frontend_vlan_id = 1085155
    backend_vlan_id = 1085157
}

# Create a new virtual guest using block device template
resource "softlayer_virtual_guest" "terraform-sample-BDTGroup" {
   name = "terraform-sample-blockDeviceTemplateGroup"
   domain = "bar.example.com"
   region = "ams01"
   public_network_speed = 10
   hourly_billing = false
   cpu = 1
   ram = 1024
   local_disk = false
   block_device_template_group_gid = "****-****-****-****-****"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• name | string
  • Hostname for the computing instance.
  • Required
• domain | string
  • Domain for the computing instance.
  • Required
• cpu | int
  • The number of CPU cores to allocate.
  • Required
• ram | int
  • The amount of memory to allocate in megabytes.
  • Required
• region | string
  • Specifies which datacenter the instance is to be provisioned in.
  • Required
• hourly_billing | boolean
  • Specifies the billing type for the instance. When true the computing instance will be billed on hourly usage, otherwise it will be billed on a monthly basis.
  • Required
• local_disk | boolean
  • Specifies the disk type for the instance. When true the disks for the computing instance will be provisioned on the host which it runs, otherwise SAN disks will be provisioned.
  • Required
• dedicated_acct_host_only | boolean
  • Specifies whether or not the instance must only run on hosts with instances from the same account
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• image | string
  • An identifier for the operating system to provision the computing instance with.
  • Conditionally required - Disallowed when blockDeviceTemplateGroup.globalIdentifier is provided, as the template will specify the operating system.
• block_device_template_group_gid | string
  • A global identifier for the template to be used to provision the computing instance.
  • Conditionally required - Disallowed when operatingSystemReferenceCode is provided, as the template will specify the operating system.
• public_network_speed | int
  • Specifies the connection speed for the instance's network components.
  • Default: 10
  • Optional
• private_network_only | boolean
  • Specifies whether or not the instance only has access to the private network. When true this flag specifies that a compute instance is to only have access to the private network.
  • Default: False
  • Optional
• frontend_vlan_id | int
  • Specifies the network vlan which is to be used for the frontend interface of the computing instance.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• backend_vlan_id | int
  • Specifies the network vlan which is to be used for the backend interface of the computing instance.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• disks | array
  • Block device and disk image settings for the computing instance
  • Optional
  • Default: The smallest available capacity for the primary disk will be used. If an image template is specified the disk capacity will be be provided by the template.
• user_data | string
  • Arbitrary data to be made available to the computing instance.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• ssh_keys | array
  • SSH keys to install on the computing instance upon provisioning.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• ipv4_address | string
  • Uses editObject call, template data defined here.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• ipv4_address_private | string
  • Uses editObject call, template data defined here.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
• post_install_script_uri | string
  • As defined in the SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest_SupplementalCreateObjectOptions.
  • Default: nil
  • Optional
