Terraform and edge gateways

[andreaspa]

Hi,

Has anyone got any idea how to get the assigned external IP address of an edge gateway deployed with Terraform?

The reason for asking is that I'm trying to automate a workflow for adding new customers, and I'd like to add some standard DNAT/SNAT-rules in the edge, but I need the creation of the edge gateway to somehow provide me with the assigned IP address.

Hi, have a look here: vCloudDirector: vcd_edgegateway - Terraform by HashiCorp

You can pull the external ip into a datasource such as external_ip (used in the example above) and then you can continue to use this reference in the rest of your script.

Thanks, this seems to be a new feature in the 2.5 release of the provider, so it seems usefull.

I did also end up in creating a feature request on the provider at github: Feature Request: Return assigned IP of default edge gateway network when creating/updating · Issue #...
