Provider Development

  • Terraform 0.12+
  • Go 1.17+ (to build the provider plugin)
  • This provider uses SDKv2 from release 1.3.0

The Terraform Nutanix provider is designed to work with Nutanix Prism Central and Standalone Foundation, such that you can manage one or more Prism Element clusters at scale. AOS/PC 5.6.0 or higher is required, as this Provider makes exclusive use of the v3 APIs. It also consists components to work with Foundation to performing node imaging and related activities.

For the 1.2.0 release of the provider it will have an N-1 compatibility with the Prism Central APIs. This provider was tested against Prism Central versions 2020.9 and 2020.11, as well as AOS version 5.18 and 5.19

For the 1.3.0 release of the provider it will have N-2 compatibility with the Prism Central APIs. This release was tested against Prism Central versions pc.2021.9.0.4, pc.2021.8.0.1 and pc.2021.7.

Example Usage

See the Examples folder for a handful of main.tf demos as well as some pre-compiled binaries.

We'll be refreshing these examples and binaries as we work through tech preview.

Long term, once this is upstream, no pre-compiled binaries will be needed, as terraform will automatically download on use.

Provider Configuration Requirements & Warnings

From foundation getting released in 1.5.0-beta, provider configuration will accomodate prism central and foundation apis connection details. It will show warnings for disabled api connections as per the attributes given in provider configuration in above mentioned format. The below are the required attributes for corresponding provider componenets :

  • endpoint, username and password are required fields for using Prism Central & Karbon based resources and data sources
  • foundation_endpoint is required field for using Foundation based resources and data sources
  • ndb_username, ndb_password and ndb_endpoint are required fields for using NDB based resources and data sources
