Cortex Terraform Provider

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.5
• Go >= 1.20

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command:

go install

Using the provider

Add the following block into your Terraform files (note that this provider requires Terraform 1.5 or greater):

terraform {
  required_providers {
    cortex = {
      source  = "cortex/cortex"
      version = ">= 0.1"
    }
  }
  required_version = ">= 1.5.0"
}

You'll need to set the environment variable CORTEX_API_TOKEN with your Cortex API token.

You can optionally further configure the provider either inline in terraform:

provider "cortex" {
  token        = "my-api-token"
  base_api_url = "https://api.getcortexapp.com" // default value, only set if changing
}

...or via ENV:

Key	Description	Default Value
CORTEX_API_TOKEN	Your Cortex.io API token	""
CORTEX_API_URL	The base API URL for Cortex's API.	"https://api.getcortexapp.com"

Resource Types

This provider comes with the following resource types:

• cortex_catalog_entity
• cortex_catalog_entity_custom_data
• cortex_department
• cortex_resource_definition
• cortex_scorecard

And the following data sources:

• cortex_catalog_entity
• cortex_catalog_entity_custom_data
• cortex_department
• cortex_resource_definition
• cortex_scorecard
• cortex_team

Examples on each of these can be found in the examples/ folder.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine ( see Requirements above).

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

To be able to use the locally installed provider,

1. Run go build -o build/terraform-provider-cortex . This will build the binary and put it in the build/ directory.

2. Create a ~/.terraformrc file that lets you override the default provider location:

provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
    "cortexlocal/cortex" = "<path/to/terraform-provider-cortex/build"
  }
  direct {}
}

3. Use the provider as:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    cortex = {
      source  = "cortexlocal/cortex"
    }
  }
}

Documentation

To generate or update documentation, run `go generate`.

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run `make testacc`.

*Note:* Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

```shell
make testacc

Adding Dependencies

This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.

To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency to your Terraform provider:

go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy

Then commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum.
