rackspace (openstack) provider

[Daniel Lüning]

I'm trying out terraform against rackspace but have some problems to get it to work smoothly,
I have to confess that I'm learning terraform, openstack and the rackspace variant at the same time.

Anyone in this group that has gotten terraform and rackspace to play nice with each other and could tell me which arguments are mandatory for rackspace?

By trial and error I found out that:

I could only get terraform to work with provider password and not with api_key

I have had a lot of struggle with network, until I found the clue to use both uuid and name (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/3460) I could not create servers.
I still haven't figured out how to create networks:

this config

resource "openstack_networking_network_v2" "tf-test" {

  region = "LON"

  name = "tf-test"

  admin_state_up = "true"

} 

results in this response

Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* openstack_networking_network_v2.tf-test: Error creating OpenStack Neutron network: Expected HTTP response code [201 202] when accessing [POST https://lon.networks.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/v2.0/networks], but got 404 instead

404 Not Found

The resource could not be found.

looks like I get an extra /v2.0/ in the url, is this a terraform or rackspace issue?

rackspace has a lot of rackspace specific types in its service catalog e.g.  "type": "rax:autoscale", I'm guess these aren't supported?

Hi Daniel,

AFAIK, there are enough differences between OpenStack and Rackspace that using Terraform on Rackspace requires a separate provider. There was one being developed some time ago, but was closed due to inactivity:

https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/1438

Hope that helps,

Joe

Thanks joe, it does help.
explains a lot of the strangeness I encountered, to bad it looks like that PR was really close to be done and that there is a lot of people wanting rackspace as a provider.

will need checkout the PR and see how close it is.

regards,

daniel
