There are two ways of getting the plugin and using it:
- Use the published provider plugin from the Terraform registry: You do not need to do anything special, the plugin will be installed by Terraform automatically once it is mentioned as a requirement in your .tf files.
- Build from GitHub repository source code: This way is suitable for those who want to introduce some customizations or get the latest features under development, which are not in the official plugin yet.
Specify the plugin version in the .tf file as follows:
terraform {
required_providers {
infoblox = {
source = “infobloxopen/infoblox”
version = ">= 2.0.1"
}
}
}
provider "infoblox" {
# Configuration options
}
Configure the credentials as environment variables as follows:
$ export INFOBLOX_SERVER=<nios_ip-addr> or <hostname>
$ export INFOBLOX_USERNAME=<nios_username>
$ export INFOBLOX_PASSWORD=<nios_password>
Terraform installs the specified version of the plugin when a terraform init
is run.
Refer to the official documentation for more information https://registry.terraform.io/providers/infobloxopen/infoblox/latest/docs .
