Welcome to the microk8s-ibmcloud-vpc wiki!

Here you will find instructions for running this code locally, or in a non-IBM Cloud Shell environment.

Pre-requisites

• Recent version of Terraform installed. This guide was tested on terraform 1.5.3.
• IBM Cloud API Key. If you do not have a key, you can follow this guide to create one.
• A recent version of [Ansible] installed. This guide was tested on ansible 2.15.2.
• (Optional) - [tfswitch] installed. The tfswitch utility allows you to run multiple versions of Terraform on the same system. If you do not have a particular version of terraform installed, tfswitch will download the version you select from an interactive menu.

With the pre-req sorted, it is time to deploy the cluster.

1. Clone this repo and cd into the microk8s-ibmcloud-vpc directory.

   git clone https://github.com/cloud-design-dev/microk8s-ibmcloud-vpc.git
   cd microk8s-ibmcloud-vpc

2. Copy the tfvars-example to terraform.tfvars file and update the values as needed. See here for full list of variables.

   cp tfvars-example terraform.tfvars

3. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init -upgrade

4. Run a Terraform plan:

   terraform plan -out "$(terraform workspace show).tfplan" 

5. Run Terraform apply:

   terraform apply "$(terraform workspace show).tfplan"
