# SoftLayer Provider
The SoftLayer provider is used to manage SoftLayer resources.
Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
-> **Note:** The SoftLayer provider is new as of Terraform 0.6.16.
It is ready to be used but many features are still being added. If there
is a SoftLayer feature missing, please report it in the GitHub repo.
## Example Usage
Here is an example that will setup the following:
+ An SSH key resource.
+ A virtual server resource that uses an existing SSH key.
+ A virtual server resource using an existing SSH key and a Terraform managed SSH key (created as `test_key_1` in the example below).
Add the below to a file called `sl.tf` and run the `terraform` command from the same directory:
```hcl
provider "softlayer" {
username = ""
api_key = ""
}
# This will create a new SSH key that will show up under the \
# Devices>Manage>SSH Keys in the SoftLayer console.
resource "softlayer_ssh_key" "test_key_1" {
name = "test_key_1"
public_key = "${file(\"~/.ssh/id_rsa_test_key_1.pub\")}"
# Windows Example:
# public_key = "${file(\"C:\ssh\keys\path\id_rsa_test_key_1.pub\")}"
}
# Virtual Server created with existing SSH Key already in SoftLayer \
# inventory and not created using this Terraform template.
resource "softlayer_virtual_guest" "my_server_1" {
name = "my_server_1"
domain = "example.com"
ssh_keys = ["123456"]
image = "DEBIAN_7_64"
region = "ams01"
public_network_speed = 10
cpu = 1
ram = 1024
}
# Virtual Server created with a mix of previously existing and \
# Terraform created/managed resources.
resource "softlayer_virtual_guest" "my_server_2" {
name = "my_server_2"
domain = "example.com"
ssh_keys = ["123456", "${softlayer_ssh_key.test_key_1.id}"]
image = "CENTOS_6_64"
region = "ams01"
public_network_speed = 10
cpu = 1
ram = 1024
}
```
You'll need to provide your SoftLayer username and API key,
so that Terraform can connect. If you don't want to put
credentials in your configuration file, you can leave them
out:
```
provider "softlayer" {}
```
...and instead set these environment variables:
- **SOFTLAYER_USERNAME**: Your SoftLayer username
- **SOFTLAYER_API_KEY**: Your API key
