vsphere_virtual_machine

Provides a VMware vSphere virtual machine resource. This can be used to create, modify, and delete virtual machines.

Example Usage

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "web" {
  name   = "terraform_web"
  vcpu   = 2
  memory = 4096

  network_interface {
    label = "VM Network"
  }

  disk {
    size = 1
    iops = 500
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) The virtual machine name
  • vcpu - (Required) The number of virtual CPUs to allocate to the virtual machine
  • memory - (Required) The amount of RAM (in MB) to allocate to the virtual machine
  • datacenter - (Optional) The name of a Datacenter in which to launch the virtual machine
  • cluster - (Optional) Name of a Cluster in which to launch the virtual machine
  • resource_pool (Optional) The name of a Resource Pool in which to launch the virtual machine
  • gateway - (Optional) Gateway IP address to use for all network interfaces
  • domain - (Optional) A FQDN for the virtual machine; defaults to "vsphere.local"
  • time_zone - (Optional) The time zone to set on the virtual machine. Defaults to "Etc/UTC"
  • dns_suffixes - (Optional) List of name resolution suffixes for the virtual network adapter
