Terraform Cilium Provider (Experimental)

The Cilium Provider allows Terraform to manage Cilium resources.

• Website: registry.terraform.io

Requirements

• Terraform > 1.5 or OpenTofu > 1.6
• Go 1.22 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

$ git clone https://github.com/littlejo/terraform-provider-cilium.git
$ cd terraform-provider-cilium

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ make build

Using the provider

Please see the documentation in the Terraform registry.

Or you can browse the documentation within this repo here.

Using the locally built provider

If you wish to test the provider from the local version you just built, you can try the following method.

First install the Terraform Provider binary into your local plugin repository:

# Set your target environment (OS_architecture): linux_amd64, darwin_amd64...
$ vim GNUmakefile
$ make install

Then create a Terraform configuration using this exact provider:

$ mkdir ~/test-terraform-provider-cilium
$ cd ~/test-terraform-provider-cilium
$ cat > main.tf <<EOF
# Configure the cilium Provider
terraform {
  required_providers {
    cilium = {
      source = "terraform.local/local/cilium"
      version = "0.0.1"
    }
  }
}

provider "cilium" {
}
EOF

# Initialize your project and remove existing dependencies lock file
$ rm .terraform.lock.hcl && terraform init
...

# Apply your resources & datasources
$ terraform apply
...

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.22+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build

Testing the Provider

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests you will need to create a kubernetes cluster like kind. You can also test on some examples:

• Examples of some cloud providers (AWS, Azure and GCP): https://github.com/orgs/tf-cilium/repositories
• Examples from the CICD: https://github.com/littlejo/terraform-provider-cilium/tree/main/.github/tf
