Limitations

  • Security-tag resource requires vsphere-provider with moid parameter implemented. (branch not yet pushed to upstream). Docker image link with already built vsphere-provider available in getting started link above. - This issue was actually solved on terraform v0.9.6 - pull request here (hashicorp/terraform#14793)

  • At the moment only a very limited number of vSphere NSX resources have been implemented. These resources also have the basic attributes implemented, look at wiki link above to find more details about each of these resources.

Resources to consider

  • Transport Zones
  • Distributed Switch
  • Distributed Firewall (L2 / L3 rules)
  • Edge Device Nat config and rules
  • Edge Device Routing config
