Nutanix Terraform Provider Examples

Terraform Examples with the Nutanix Terraform Provider

The Terraform configurations in this repository demonstrate how to use the Nutanix Terraform provider.

Main concepts covered in the intro/ directory:

• Adding nutanix as a required provider
• Creating a Nutanix AHV image that can be used as the base disk for a Nutanix AHV-hosted virtual machine
• Specification of a Nutanix AHV-hosted virtual machine, including custom virtual resource spec (vCPU, vRAM, storage, networking)
• Using Terraform variables to specify Nutanix Prism Central connection parameters:
  • Prism Central endpoint/IP address
  • Credentials
  • Cluster name for virtual machine deployment
  • Subnet name for new virtual machine network connection
• Please see the related Nutanix.dev blog and video for a guided walk-through!

Usage

• Clone this repository to your local system:

  git clone https://github.com/nutanixdev/terraform_blog.git
