Create HDD Basic file storage via Terraform

We recommend creating resources in order. If you create all resources at once, Terraform will account for dependencies between resources that you specified in the configuration file. If dependencies are not specified, resources will be created in parallel, which may lead to errors. For instance, a resource required for creating another resource might not have been created yet.


  1. Optional: configure providers.
  2. Create a private network and subnet.
  3. Configure the storage network.
  4. Create a file storage.
  5. Configure file storage access rules.

Configuration files

Example file for provider configuration
terraform {
required_providers {
servercore = {
source = "terraform.servercore.com/servercore/servercore"
version = "~> 6.0"
}
openstack = {
source = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"
version = "2.1.0"
}
}
}

provider "servercore" {
domain_name = "123456"
username = "user"
password = "password"
auth_region = "uz-1"
auth_url = "https://cloud.api.servercore.com/identity/v3/"
}

resource "servercore_project_v2" "project_1" {
name = "project"
}

resource "servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1" "serviceuser_1" {
name = "username"
password = "password"
role {
role_name = "member"
scope = "project"
project_id = servercore_project_v2.project_1.id
}
}

provider "openstack" {
auth_url = "https://cloud.api.servercore.com/identity/v3"
domain_name = "123456"
tenant_id = servercore_project_v2.project_1.id
user_name = servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.name
password = servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.password
region = "uz-1"
}
Example file for creating file storage
resource "openstack_networking_network_v2" "network_1" {
name = "private-network"
admin_state_up = "true"
}

resource "openstack_networking_subnet_v2" "subnet_1" {
name = "private-subnet"
network_id = openstack_networking_network_v2.network_1.id
cidr = "192.168.199.0/24"
}

resource "openstack_sharedfilesystem_sharenetwork_v2" "sharenetwork_1" {
name = "share-network"
neutron_net_id = openstack_networking_network_v2.network_1.id
neutron_subnet_id = openstack_networking_subnet_v2.subnet_1.id
}

resource "openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_v2" "share_1" {
name = "nfs-storage"
share_type = "basic.uz-1a"
share_proto = "NFS"
size = 50
share_network_id = openstack_sharedfilesystem_sharenetwork_v2.sharenetwork_1.id
metadata = {"ip": "192.168.199.3"}
}

resource "openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_access_v2" "shareaccess_1" {
access_level = "rw"
access_to = "0.0.0.0/0"
access_type = "ip"
share_id = openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_v2.share_1.id
}

1. Optional: configure providers

If you have already configured Servercore and OpenStack providers, skip this step.

  1. Make sure that in the control panel you have created a service user with the member role in the Account access scope and iam.admin.

  2. Create a directory to store configuration files and a separate file with the .tf extension to configure providers.

  3. Add the Servercore and OpenStack providers to the file for provider configuration:

    terraform {
    required_providers {
    servercore = {
    source = "terraform.servercore.com/servercore/servercore"
    version = "~> 7.1.0"
    }
    openstack = {
    source = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"
    version = "2.1.0"
    }
    }
    }

    Here version is the provider version. The current version of the OpenStack provider can be found in the Terraform Registry and GitHub.

    For more information about products, services, and features that can be managed using providers, see the Servercore and OpenStack Providers guide.

  4. Initialize the Servercore provider:

    provider "servercore" {
    domain_name = "123456"
    username = "user"
    password = "password"
    auth_region = "uz-1"
    auth_url = "https://cloud.api.servercore.com/identity/v3/"
    }

    Where:

    • domain_name — Servercore account number. You can find it in the control panel in the top-right corner;
    • username — name of the service user with the member role in the Account access scope and iam.admin. You can view it in the control panel: in the top menu, click IAMService Users section (the section is only available to the Account Owner and a user with the iam.admin role);
    • password — service user password. You can view it when creating the user or change it to a new one;
    • auth_regionpool for authorization, for example, uz-1. You can create resources in other pools. A list of available pools can be found in the Availability Matrix guide.
  5. Create a project:

    resource "servercore_project_v2" "project_1" {
    name = "project"
    }

    See a detailed description of the servercore_project_v2 resource.

  6. Create a service user to access the project and assign them the member role in the Project access scope:

    resource "servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1" "serviceuser_1" {
    name = "username"
    password = "password"
    role {
    role_name = "member"
    scope = "project"
    project_id = servercore_project_v2.project_1.id
    }
    }

    Where:

    • username — username;

    • password — user password. The password must be at least 20 characters long and include at least:

      • one uppercase and one lowercase Latin letter (A-Z, a-z);
      • one digit (0-9);
      • one special character from the ASCII Printable 7-Bit Special Characters list:
        !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~;
    • project_id — project ID. You can find it in the control panel: in the top menu, click Products and select Cloud Servers → open the projects menu → in the row of the target project, click .

    See a detailed description of the servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1 resource.

  7. Initialize the OpenStack provider:

    provider "openstack" {
    auth_url = "https://cloud.api.servercore.com/identity/v3"
    domain_name = "123456"
    tenant_id = servercore_project_v2.project_1.id
    user_name = servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.name
    password = servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1.password
    region = "uz-1"
    }

    Where:

    • domain_name — Servercore account number. You can find it in the control panel in the top-right corner;
    • regionpool, for example, uz-1. All resources will be created in this pool. A list of available pools can be found in the Availability Matrix guide.
  8. If you are creating resources while configuring providers, add the depends_on argument for OpenStack resources. For example, for the openstack_networking_network_v2 resource:

    resource "openstack_networking_network_v2" "network_1" {
    name = "private-network"
    admin_state_up = "true"

    depends_on = [
    servercore_project_v2.project_1,
    servercore_iam_serviceuser_v1.serviceuser_1
    ]
    }
  9. Open the CLI.

  10. Initialize the Terraform configuration in the directory:

    terraform init
  11. Verify that the configuration files are syntactically correct:

    terraform validate
  12. Format the configuration files:

    terraform fmt
  13. Check which resources will be created:

    terraform plan
  14. Apply the changes and create the resources:

    terraform apply
  15. Confirm creation — enter yes and press Enter. The created resources will appear in the control panel.

  16. If quotas were insufficient to create the resources, increase the quotas.

2. Create a private network and subnet

resource "openstack_networking_network_v2" "network_1" {
name = "private-network"
admin_state_up = "true"
}

resource "openstack_networking_subnet_v2" "subnet_1" {
name = "private-subnet"
network_id = openstack_networking_network_v2.network_1.id
cidr = "192.168.199.0/24"
}

Here cidr is the private subnet CIDR, for example 192.168.199.0/24.

See the detailed resource description:

3. Configure the storage network

resource "openstack_sharedfilesystem_sharenetwork_v2" "sharenetwork_1" {
name = "share-network"
neutron_net_id = openstack_networking_network_v2.network_1.id
neutron_subnet_id = openstack_networking_subnet_v2.subnet_1.id
}

See the detailed resource description openstack_sharedfilesystem_sharenetwork_v2.

4. Create a file storage

resource "openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_v2" "share_1" {
name = "nfs-storage"
share_type = "basic.uz-1a"
share_proto = "NFS"
size = 50
share_network_id = openstack_sharedfilesystem_sharenetwork_v2.sharenetwork_1.id
metadata = {"ip": "192.168.199.3"}
}

Where:

  • share_typefile storage type and pool segment in the format <type>.<pool_segment>, e.g. basic.uz-1a:
    • <type>:
      • basic — HDD Basic type;
      • universal — SSD Universal type;
      • fast — SSD Fast type;
    • <pool_segment> — the pool segment where the file storage will be created, e.g. uz-1a. For a list of available pool segments, see the Availability Matrix;
  • share_proto — file storage protocol: NFS or CIFS;
  • size — file storage size in GB, e.g. 50. Limitations — from 50 GB to 50 TB;
  • optional: metadata = {"ip": "<ip_address>"} — private IP address of the file storage, e.g. 192.168.0.3. After the storage is created, the IP address cannot be changed.

See the detailed resource description openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_v2.

5. Configure file storage access rules

resource "openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_access_v2" "shareaccess_1" {
access_level = "rw"
access_to = "0.0.0.0/0"
access_type = "ip"
share_id = openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_v2.share_1.id
}

Where:

  • access_levelaccess level to the storage, depends on the protocol:
    • for CIFS SMBv3 — rw (read and write);
    • for NFSv4 — ro (read-only) or rw (read and write);
  • access_to — IP address or CIDR of the private subnet to which access will be granted. For example:
    • 192.168.199.10 — access for an IP address;
    • 192.168.199.0/24 — access for a private subnet range;
    • 0.0.0.0/0 — access for all private subnet addresses. To configure this access, you can add the openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_v2 resource line metadata = {"access_list_allow_all": "true"}.

See the detailed resource description openstack_sharedfilesystem_share_access_v2.
