Extend Terraform Addon

Terraform Controller is the core controller to provision and manage cloud resources for KubeVela. It has supported some cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, etc. But only a few has been supported as Terraform Addons in KubeVela.

This guide will show you how to extend a Terraform Addon to support your cloud provider.

If the cloud provider you want to support is none of supported cloud providers in Terraform Controller, you have to support it first. If it has been supported by Terraform Controller, you can continue to extend the addon.

  • Clone oam-dev/catalog
  1. $ git clone https://github.com/kubevela/catalog.git
  • Prepare a metadata file

Edit the metadata file hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-scaffold/metadata.yaml for your cloud provider.

  23.     isRegion: true

Generate a Terraform Addon for your cloud provider. The generated addon code will be stored in addons/terraform-tencent.

  1. $ make terraform-addon-gen
  2. go run hack/addons/terraform/gen.go hack/addons/terraform/provider-sample.yaml
  3. Generating addon for provider tencent in addons/terraform-tencent
  4. Rendering hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-skaffold/metadata.yaml
  5. Rendering hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-skaffold/readme.md
  6. Rendering hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-skaffold/resources/account-creds.cue
  7. Rendering hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-skaffold/resources/parameter.cue
  8. Rendering hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-skaffold/resources/provider.cue
  9. Rendering hack/addons/terraform/terraform-provider-skaffold/template.yaml
  11. $ ls addons/terraform-tencent
  12. definitions   metadata.yaml readme.md     resources     template.yaml

  3. I0207 10:15:14.138645   32481 apply.go:106] "patching object" name="addon-secret-terraform-tencent" resource="/v1, Kind=Secret"
