Terraform Provider for OpenNebula

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Terraform is used to create, manage, and manipulate infrastructure resources (e.g., physical machines, VMs, network switches, containers, etc.). Almost any infrastructure type can be represented as a resource in Terraform. The OpenNebula provider is officially supported by HashiCorp and is fully open source. The repository is available here.

The OpenNebula provider is used to interact with OpenNebula resources through Terraform. The provider allows you to manage your OpenNebula clusters resources. It needs to be configured with proper credentials before it can be used.

Ansible Modules

OpenNebula Ansible modules allow you to manage common OpenNebula resources, e.g., VMs, images or Hosts, using Ansible playbooks. In the latest Ansible version OpenNebula modules are part of the collection community.general. Formerly, they were distributed together with Ansible main package.

For the module usage, please follow the official Ansible documentation:

one_host.py

one_image.py

one_service.py

one_vm.py

one_template.py

Dependencies

For OpenNebula Ansible modules Python bindings PYONE are necessary, for one_image.py the legacy Python OCA is also required.
