Configure and use the OneFuse VMware Aria Automation module with HashiCorp Terraform
9 minute read
To learn more about this OneFuse Module, refer to Aria Automation.
Prerequisites
- Configure the OneFuse Provider
- Review an overview on OneFuse Modules with Terraform
Steps
-
Create
variables.tffile -
Create
main.tffile -
Run terraform commands to deploy a VMware Aria Automation Deployment:
-
terraform init -
terraform plan -
terraform apply -
Example apply output:
Initializing the backend... Initializing provider plugins... - Reusing previous version of cloudboltsoftware/onefuse from the dependency lock file - Using previously-installed cloudboltsoftware/onefuse v1.20.0 Terraform has been successfully initialized! You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands should now work. If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform, rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary. An execution plan has been generated and is shown below. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols: + create Terraform will perform the following actions: # onefuse_vra_deployment.my_vra_deployment will be created + resource "onefuse_vra_deployment" "my_vra_deployment" { + blueprint_name = (known after apply) + deployment_info = (known after apply) + deployment_name = "tf_vra_deployment" + id = (known after apply) + policy_id = 1 + project_name = (known after apply) + template_properties = { + "Environment" = "Dev" } + workspace_url = (known after apply) } Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy. Changes to Outputs: + deployment_info = (known after apply) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: You didn't specify an "-out" parameter to save this plan, so Terraform can't guarantee that exactly these actions will be performed if "terraform apply" is subsequently run. An execution plan has been generated and is shown below. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols: + create Terraform will perform the following actions: # onefuse_vra_deployment.my_vra_deployment will be created + resource "onefuse_vra_deployment" "my_vra_deployment" { + blueprint_name = (known after apply) + deployment_info = (known after apply) + deployment_name = "tf_vra_deployment" + id = (known after apply) + policy_id = 1 + project_name = (known after apply) + template_properties = { + "Environment" = "Dev" } + workspace_url = (known after apply) } Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy. Changes to Outputs: + deployment_info = (known after apply) Do you want to perform these actions? Terraform will perform the actions described above. Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

Create variables.tf
Add the following in the variables.tf file. Update the values as needed.
It is a best practice to separate configurations into identifiable files, refer to Best practices for OneFuse modules.
The sample below shows all configurations in one variables.tf file for simplicity.
// SAMPLE VARIABLES.TF FILE CONFIGURATIONS
variable "onefuse_scheme" {
type = string
default = "https"
}
variable "onefuse_address" {
type = string
}
variable "onefuse_port" {
type = string
default = "443"
}
variable "onefuse_user" {
type = string
default = "admin"
}
variable "onefuse_password" {
type = string
default = "admin"
}
variable "onefuse_verify_ssl" {
type = bool
default = false
}
variable "workspace_url" {
type = string
default = "" // Default
}
variable "template_properties" {
type = map
default = {
"Environment" = "d" //p for production or d for development
"Location" = "w" //e for East or w for West
"Application" = "wp" //wp for wordpress or iis for IIS
"OS" = "l" //l for Linux or w for Windows
}
}
Create main.tf for Aria Automation resource
Add the following in the main.tf file. Update the values as needed.
