I have a Virtual server in IBM cloud created using Terraform
resource "ibm_is_instance" "vsi1" {
name = "${local.BASENAME}-vsi1"
vpc = ibm_is_vpc.vpc.id
zone = local.ZONE
keys = [data.ibm_is_ssh_key.ssh_key_id.id]
image = data.ibm_is_image.ubuntu.id
profile = "cc1-2x4"
primary_network_interface {
subnet = ibm_is_subnet.subnet1.id
security_groups = [ibm_is_security_group.sg1.id]
}
}
How to create Virtual Servers with Terraform For loops
vsi1 , vsi2, vsi3, vsi4, vsi5
for full code Please refer IBM Cloud Terraform getting started tutorial
You may not require a for
or for-each
loop for achieving what you need. A simple count
will do the required. Once you add count(number of instances), all you need to do is pass count.index
in the VSI name.
resource "ibm_is_instance" "vsi" {
count = 4
name = "${local.BASENAME}-vsi-${count.index}"
vpc = ibm_is_vpc.vpc.id
zone = local.ZONE
keys = [data.ibm_is_ssh_key.ssh_key_id.id]
image = data.ibm_is_image.ubuntu.id
profile = "cc1-2x4"
primary_network_interface {
subnet = ibm_is_subnet.subnet1.id
security_groups = [ibm_is_security_group.sg1.id]
}
}
This will create instances with names vsi-0,vsi-1...
