Terraform to deploy VMware ESXi in Equinix Metal

Terraform module to deploy an ESXi host in Equinix Metal with option to create a Metal Gateway and User SSH key.

NOTE: Metal Gateway is required if you need to assign a public IP to a VM running in the VMware ESXi host.

Prerequisites

Please make sure you have:

• Equinix Metal account
• Equinix Metal project
• Equinix Metal API key or authentication token

To run this module, you will need set the following environment variables

Variables	Description
METAL_AUTH_TOKEN	Equinix API Key or Authentication Token

export METAL_AUTH_TOKEN="EqU1n1Xm3T4l4UtHt0K3n"

Sample usage

module "metal-vmware-esxi" {
  source  = "bayupw/metal-vmware-esxi/equinix"
  version = "1.0.0"

  metal_project_name   = "My Project"
  metro                = "sy"
  plan                 = "c3.small.x86"
  esx_hostname         = "esxi-01a"
  create_metal_gateway = true
  create_user_ssh_key  = false
}

output "metal_device_ip" {
  description = "VMware ESXi Public IP."
  value       = module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_device.access_public_ipv4
}

output "metal_device_password" {
  description = "VMware ESXi password."
  value       = module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_device.root_password
  sensitive   = true
}

output "metal_gateway_ip" {
  description = "Metal Gateway IP."
  value       = cidrhost(module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_reserved_ip_block[0].cidr_notation, 1)
}

output "public_ip_block" {
  description = "Public IP CIDR block"
  value       = module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_reserved_ip_block[0].cidr_notation
}

output "usable_public_ip" {
  description = "Usable public IP range"
  value       = "${cidrhost(module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_reserved_ip_block[0].cidr_notation, 2)} - ${cidrhost(module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_reserved_ip_block[0].cidr_notation, module.metal-vmware-esxi.equinix_metal_reserved_ip_block[0].quantity - 2)}"
}

In order to provide internet access to the VMs, the module by default creates an Equinix Metal Gateway. To disable Equinix Metal Gateway creation, set create_metal_gateway to true.

To create a user ssh key, set create_user_ssh_key to true and provide the details in variable user_ssh_key_name and user_public_key
