Terraform Examples

Securely orchestrating VMs & Containers at the edge using ZEDEDA & EVE-OS

---

Overview

This repository contains terraform code examples for the ZEDEDA provider.

---

What This Repo Contains

• ✅ 1-Infra-sjf.tf - contains the ZEDEDA elements which tend to be more static in nature. Projects, Images, Datastores, EVE Images, Networks (For EVE management)
• ✅ 2-Brand_Models.tf - shows how to create Brands and Models for hardware needed in the Models marketplace.
• ✅ 3-EdgeNodes.tf - Creates the edge nodes - required so when they phone home a matching entry exists to allow onboarding.
• ✅ 4-NetworkInstances.tf - Shows how to create both Switch & Local (L3) type of Network Instances where workloads will connect.
• ✅ 5-Apps-sjc.tf - Where you define applications to populate the ZEDEDA Marketplace. Includes: sizing, type, Interfaces, Disks, ... and ACLs.
• ✅ 6-Instance-Deploy-sjf.tf - Terraform code used to deploy the VMs and Containers. Includes: Edge node where to deploy, Network Instances to connect interfaces, cloud-init to use,
