Terraform vSphere Module

For Virtual Machine Provisioning with (Linux/Windows) customization. T

his version is working with Datastore instead of Datastore Cluster!!

Deploys (Single/Multiple) Virtual Machines to your vSphere environment

This Terraform module deploys single or multiple virtual machines of type (Linux/Windows) with following features:

  • Ability to specify Linux or Windows VM customization.
  • Ability to add extra data disk to the VM.
  • Ability to deploy Multiple instances.
  • Ability to set IP and Gateway configuration for the VM.
  • Ability to choose vSphere resource pool or fall back to Cluster/ESXi root resource pool.
  • Ability to deploy Windows images to WorkGroup.
  • Ability to output VM names and IPs per module.
  • 3 Configurable Network Interface

Note: For module to work it needs number of required variables corresponding to an existing resources in vSphere. Please refer to variable section for the list of required variables.

Usage

Following example contains the bare minimum options to be configured for (Linux/Windows) VM deployment. You can choose between windows and linux customization by simply using the ´is_windows_image´ boolean switch.

You can also download the entire module and use your own predefined variables to map your entire vSphere environment and use it within this module.

module "example-server-linuxvm-withdatadisk" {
  source             = "Terraform-VMWare-Modules/vm3nic/vsphere"
  version            = "0.1.0"

}

Advance Usage

There are number of switches defined in the module, where you can use to enable different features for VM provisioning.

Main Feature Switches

  • You can use is_windows_image = "true" to set the customization type to Windows (By default it is set to Linux customization)
  • You can use data_disk = "true" to add one additional disk (Supported in both Linux and Windows deployment)
    • By default it is set to 20GB. You can modify it by using data_disk_size_gb variable.
  • You can use 'template_with_dual_disk = "true"' to set terraform for deploy a linux image with already 2 disks.

Below is an example of windows deployment with all available feature sets.

module "example-server-windowsvm-withdatadisk-domain" {
  source            = "Terraform-VMWare-Modules/vm3nic/vsphere"
  version           = "0.1.0"
  vmtemp            = "TemplateName"
  instances         = 1
  vmname            = "example-server-windows"
  vmrp              = "esxi/Resources"  
  net01              = "Name of the VLAN in vSphere for the first NIC"
  net02              = "Name of the VLAN in vSphere for the Second NIC"
  net03              = "Name of the VLAN in vSphere for the Third NIC"
  is_windows_image  = "true"
  data_disk         = "true"
  data_disk_size_gb = 40
  join_windomain    = "true"
  domainpass        = "Domain Password"
  domainuser        = "Domain User"
  run_once          = ["echo Hello World"]
  productkey        = "WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY"
  dc                = "Datacenter"
  ds                = "Data Store name"
  net01-ip         = ["10.0.0.13"]
  net02-ip         = ["10.1.0.13"]
  net03-ip         = ["10.2.0.13"]
  vmdns             = ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8"]
  vmgateway         = "10.0.0.1"
  winadminpass      = "Str0ngP@ssw0rd!"
}

output "vmnames" {
  value = "${module.example-server-windowsvm-withdatadisk-domain.vm_name}"
}

output "vmnameswip" {
  value = "${module.example-server-windowsvm-withdatadisk-domain.vm_ip}"
}
