Terraform Provider v2

The NetActuate Terraform provider v2 expands infrastructure-as-code support with 42 resources and 8 data sources covering VPC networking, managed Kubernetes, cloud routing, storage, firewalls, and secrets management.

What's New in v2

• VPC Networking -- Private networks with gateways, NAT rules, floating IPs, and firewall rules
• Managed Kubernetes (NKE) -- Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters with version discovery and kubeconfig retrieval
• Cloud Router -- Full-featured routers with VRF, BGP, IPSec, WireGuard, GRE tunnels, and DHCP
• Storage -- S3-compatible buckets, object stores, and block storage volumes
• Firewall -- Rule-based firewall sets attached to VMs
• Secrets Management -- Encrypted key-value secret lists
• Server Scaling -- In-place plan changes without reprovisioning
• Magic Mesh -- Multi-router BGP overlay networking

Prerequisites

• Terraform v1.0 or later (or OpenTofu)
• A NetActuate API key (see API setup)

Quick Example

Deploy a VPC with a virtual server:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    netactuate = {
      source  = "netactuate/netactuate"
      version = ">= 0.2.5"
    }
  }
}

provider "netactuate" {
  api_key = var.netactuate_api_key
}

resource "netactuate_vpc" "main" {
  label       = "production"
  description = "Production VPC"
  location    = "SJC"
}

resource "netactuate_server" "web" {
  hostname = "web-01"
  plan     = "VR2x2x25"
  location = "SJC"
  image    = "5787"
  ssh_key_id = var.ssh_key_id
}

Note: Store your API key in a variable or environment variable. Do not hardcode it in your configuration files.
