Cyral Terraform Provider

The Cyral Terraform Provider contains resources that can be used to interact with the Cyral API through Terraform code. It allows customers to maintain a history of changes in Cyral environment by transforming configurations into code and use Terraform to control state changes.

Our provider uses the same naming conventions and organization as stated in Terraform guidelines for writing custom providers.

Building and Testing

Build Instructions

In order to build this repository, follow the steps below:

1. Clone terraform-provider-cyral repo from GitHub;

2. Go to the root directory of the cloned repo using Linux shell and execute make. The build process will create binaries in directory out for both darwin and linux 64 bits. These binaries will be copied automatically to the local Terraform registry to be used by Terraform 13 and later.

Alternatively, you can use the dockerfile to build the image using make docker-compose/build

To use the local provider, the module must be configured to use the local provider path as follows:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    cyral = {
      source = "local/terraform/cyral"
    }
  }
}

Test Instructions

The test framework requires basic configuration before it can be executed as follows:

1. Set the configuration environment variables:

# Set the control plane DNS name and port (default 8000):
export CYRAL_TF_CONTROL_PLANE=mycp.cyral.com:8000

# Set Keycloak client and secret ID:
export CYRAL_TF_CLIENT_ID=?
export CYRAL_TF_CLIENT_SECRET=?

# Initialize Terraform acceptance tests variable
export TF_ACC=true

2. Run make

Commit instructions

This project uses pre-commit to automatically lint changes during the commit process.

Before committing a change, you will need to install pre-commit and then install the hooks by running the following command in the root of the repository:

pre-commit install
