The purpose of this project is to show how to use Terraform to create an Astra database.

• Astra-Terraform Demo
  • Prerequisites
  • Running the code
  • To view the results
  • To delete everything
  • Custom Roles

• Create a token with Admin User rights
• Create a setenv.sh file with the following format:

export ASTRA_API_TOKEN=<Your Astra DB/API Token>
export KEYSPACE=callcenter
export ASTRA_DB_REGION=us-west1
export ASTRA_CLIENT_ID=<Your Astra Client ID>
export ASTRA_CLIENT_SECRET=<Your Astra Client Secret>
export ASTRA_ORGANIZATION=<Your Astra Organization ID>

• Make your setenv.sh file executable:

chmod 700 setenv.sh

Execute the following commands in the folder that contains your setenv.sh file:

source setenv.sh
terraform init
terraform plan -var="token=$ASTRA_API_TOKEN" -var="organization_id=$ASTRA_ORGANIZATION_ID" -out helloastra
terraform apply helloastra

You can view the results of the Terraform code and all generated values with this command:

terraform output

terraform destroy -var="token=$ASTRA_API_TOKEN" -var="organization_id=$ASTRA_ORGANIZATION_ID"

Custom roles (as shown in the resources.tf file) are based on an array of string values in the policy field. You can find a list of possible values for these strings here.
