Hi Guys,

I am new in Terraform. I have my OpenStack Cloud in my system. I want to connect OpenStack with Terraform. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

To connect any Cloud, Terraform has a keyword named provider. You need to use this keyword to connect your OpenStack Cloud. You can use the below-given code.

provider "openstack" {
  user_name   = "demo"
  tenant_name = "demo"
  password    = "647a07963bf74375"
  auth_url    = "openstack_url"
  region      = "RegionOne"
}

Copy this code in a file with .tf extension and run the below-given command.

$ terraform init
$ terraform apply -auto-approve

I hope this will give you some ideas.
