ACI Terraform Example

Example how to deploy an ACI configuration using Terraform

This example doesn't deploy any useful configuration. It's purpose is to demonstrate how Cisco ACI configuration can be managed using Terraform.
If you don't have an ACI controller you can play with, you can use the Cisco ACI Sandbox (username: admin, password: ciscopsdt) which is publicly available

The example creates:

tenant
vrf, application profile, EPG
filters, contracts
L3out (OSPF)

How to use this example

Download and install Terraform

https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/pehruby/ACITerraformExample.git
cd ACITerraformExample

Edit configuration files

Change the ip_path attribute used in Example1/main.tf to a path string valid in your environment.
You can change the ACI tenant name in Example1/variables.tf

Set the following environment variables

ACI_USERNAME = "username"
ACI_PASSWORD = "password"
or
ACI_USERNAME = "username"
ACI_CERT_NAME = "cert.crt" # CRT file name (as was paste to the user account in ACI)
ACI_PRIVATE_KEY = "\path_tocert\cert.key" # path to a private key

ACI_URL = "https://path_to_apic"

See https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aci/index.html for details

Change directory to Example1

cd Example1

Initialize Terraform

terraform init

Create Terraform exacution plan

terraform plan

Apply the configuration

terraform apply

When asked to enter a value, enter "yes".
At the end some variables are printed out to demonstrate this capability.

Destroy the Terraform managed infrastructure

terraform destroy
