14.2.4 Running Terraform Configuration

  1. Run the command window

  2. Go to the path where the configuration file is located

    [opc@bastion-host example_vcn]$ ls -la
    total 12
    drwxrwxr-x. 2 opc opc  63 Jan 18 09:50 .

    -rw-rw-r--. 1 opc opc 284 Jan 18 09:47 vcn.tf
    
  3. Run initialization

    When initialization is performed, the OCI Provider used by provider.tf is automatically downloaded under the .terraform folder.

    terraform init

  4. Check the execution plan

    If you run the plan command, you can see the plan that is being carried out on the actual OCI.

    terraform plan
    
    • Execution example
    [opc@bastion-host example_vcn]$ terraform plan
    
    Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the
    following symbols:
      + create
    
    Terraform will perform the following actions:
    
      # oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1 will be created
      + resource "oci_core_virtual_network" "vcn1" {
          + cidr_block               = "10.0.0.0/16"
          + cidr_blocks              = (known after apply)
          + compartment_id           = "ocid1.compartment.oc1..aaaaaaaaqcgintvsf3giria27rztelhvr4n6gra5wcvtj2bxzm3ukrk7aq7q"
          + default_dhcp_options_id  = (known after apply)
          + default_route_table_id   = (known after apply)
          + default_security_list_id = (known after apply)
          + defined_tags             = (known after apply)
          + display_name             = "vcn1"
          + dns_label                = "vcn1"
          + freeform_tags            = (known after apply)
          + id                       = (known after apply)
          + ipv6cidr_blocks          = (known after apply)
          + is_ipv6enabled           = (known after apply)
          + state                    = (known after apply)
          + time_created             = (known after apply)
          + vcn_domain_name          = (known after apply)
        }
    
    Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
    
    Changes to Outputs:
      + vcn1_ocid = [
          + (known after apply),
        ]
    
    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    
    Note: You didn't use the -out option to save this plan, so Terraform can't guarantee to take exactly these actions if you run
    "terraform apply" now.
    
  5. Run

    When executed, the Terraform plan is applied to the actual OCI, creating the associated OCI resource. Also, after execution, you can query the outout variable through the terraform output command.

    terraform apply
    
    • Execution example

      [opc@bastion-host example_vcn]$ terraform apply
      
      Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the
      following symbols:
        + create
      
      Terraform will perform the following actions:
      
        # oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1 will be created
        + resource "oci_core_virtual_network" "vcn1" {
            + cidr_block               = "10.0.0.0/16"
            + cidr_blocks              = (known after apply)
            + compartment_id           = "ocid1.compartment.oc1..aaaaaaaaqcgintvsf3giria27rztelhvr4n6gra5wcvtj2bxzm3ukrk7aq7q"
            + default_dhcp_options_id  = (known after apply)
            + default_route_table_id   = (known after apply)
            + default_security_list_id = (known after apply)
            + defined_tags             = (known after apply)
            + display_name             = "vcn1"
            + dns_label                = "vcn1"
            + freeform_tags            = (known after apply)
            + id                       = (known after apply)
            + ipv6cidr_blocks          = (known after apply)
            + is_ipv6enabled           = (known after apply)
            + state                    = (known after apply)
            + time_created             = (known after apply)
            + vcn_domain_name          = (known after apply)
          }
      
      Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
      
      Changes to Outputs:
        + vcn1_ocid = [
            + (known after apply),
          ]
      
      Do you want to perform these actions?
        Terraform will perform the actions described above.
        Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.
      
        Enter a value: yes
      
      oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1: Creating...
      oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1: Creation complete after 1s [id=ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q]
      
      Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
      
      Outputs:
      
      vcn1_ocid = [
        "ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q",
      ]
      
  6. Check the execution result

    • Open the navigation menu in the OCI console. Go to Networking » Virtual Cloud Networks.

    • Select the Comparment specified in Terraform Configuration.

    • You can check the created VCN as shown in the picture.

      image-20220118190446150

  7. State Management

    • When terraform apply is executed again, it is displayed that there is no change to apply because the resource has already been executed before and below.
    [opc@bastion-host example_vcn]$ terraform apply
    oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1: Refreshing state... [id=ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q]
    
    No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.
    
    Terraform has compared your real infrastructure against your configuration and found no differences, so no changes are needed.
    
    Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
    
    Outputs:
    
    vcn1_ocid = [
      "ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q",
    ]
    
    • Terraform State management files

      When terraform setting is executed, terraform.tfstate file is created as shown below after execution, and resource status is managed by recording id and related properties of the created resource. So, even if terraform apply is executed again, the current state of the OCI resource of the id managed by tfstate is checked (refreshed) and the plan to be applied is compared with the state to be changed, and then reflected.

  8. Delete

    To delete the resource previously created with Terraform, you can run the following command:

    terraform destroy
    
    • Execution example

      [opc@bastion-host example_vcn]$ terraform destroy
      oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1: Refreshing state... [id=ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q]
      
      Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the
      following symbols:
        - destroy
      
      Terraform will perform the following actions:
      
        # oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1 will be destroyed
        - resource "oci_core_virtual_network" "vcn1" {
            - cidr_block               = "10.0.0.0/16" -> null
            - cidr_blocks              = [

            - ipv6cidr_blocks          = [] -> null
            - is_ipv6enabled           = false -> null
            - state                    = "AVAILABLE" -> null
            - time_created             = "2022-01-18 10:00:51.389 +0000 UTC" -> null
            - vcn_domain_name          = "vcn1.oraclevcn.com" -> null
          }
      
      Plan: 0 to add, 0 to change, 1 to destroy.
      
      Changes to Outputs:
        - vcn1_ocid = [
            - "ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q",
          ] -> null
      
      Do you really want to destroy all resources?
        Terraform will destroy all your managed infrastructure, as shown above.
        There is no undo. Only 'yes' will be accepted to confirm.
      
        Enter a value: yes
      
      oci_core_virtual_network.vcn1: Destroying... [id=ocid1.vcn.oc1.ap-seoul-1.amaaaaaansfh2iiaduerl4znqr6sb2yng6j7x2yov4kqrsuhi452pcjxl52q]

      Destroy complete! Resources: 1 destroyed.
      
    • Execution result

      You can see vcn1 is gone as shown below.
