Terraform Manifest - Template

Overview

Within this section we review a Terraform Manifest example for building an Akash deployment.

Terraform Manifest File

• Use the blocks reviewed in this section to create your Terraform Manifest.
• Create a directory to house the files for your Terraform project and use this directory for all files created in the rest of this guide
• Create a file named akashdeployment.tf and populate the file with the blocks review below
• Refer to the Terraform Manifest - Complete Example for clarity on how the blocks covered in this section fit together.

Terraform Block

• The akash provider is defined and current version specified
• No adjustments to the Terraform manifest block should be necessary
• Periodically check to ensure the latest version is specified

terraform {
  required_providers {
    akash = {
      source = "cloud-j-luna/akash"
      version = "0.0.5"
    }
  }
}

Provider Block

• Provider attributes are defined in this block
• Replace the account_address and key_name attributes with your own values

provider "akash" {
  account_address = "akash1<redacted>"
  keyring_backend = "os"
  key_name = "mykey"
  node = "https://akash-rpc.polkachu.com:443"
  chain_id = "akashnet-2"
  chain_version = "0.1.0"
}

Resource Block

• Definition of the Akash Deployment
• Replace hello_world with the preferred name of your deployment
• Assumes that the deploy.yaml Akash SDL exists in the same directory as the Terraform file

resource "akash_deployment" "hello_world" {
  sdl = file("${path.module}/deploy.yaml")
}

Output Block

• Output the assigned URI and ports of the deployment
• Replace hello_world with the name of your deployment defined in the Resource Block

output "services" {
  value = akash_deployment.hello_world.services
}
