Terraform VMware Cloud Director (VCD) Supplier v3.14.0 is offered now, and it helps VCD variations from 10.4.0 to 10.6.0. This launch delivers options and enhancements actively requested by the customers. It accommodates 5 new assets and seven new knowledge sources, 11 enhancements and 9 bugfixes.
API Filters and Exterior Endpoints
API Filters enable to increase VCD API with customised URLs that may be redirected to an Exterior Endpoint. These two ideas have now their respective assets within the Terraform supplier:
Right here’s an instance that reveals easy methods to use them:
useful resource “vcd_external_endpoint” “ep1” {
vendor = “broadcom”
identify = “my-endpoint”
model = “1.0.0”
enabled = true
description = “A easy exterior endpoint instance”
root_url = “https://10.1.1.1/my-service”
}
useful resource “vcd_api_filter” “af” {
external_endpoint_id = vcd_external_endpoint.ep1.id
url_matcher_pattern = “/my-service/.*”
url_matcher_scope = “EXT_API”
}
When this configuration is utilized, all requests which are made to <vcd-url>/ext-api/my-service/... will probably be redirected to https://10.1.1.1/my-service with all of the request contents and question parameters coming from VCD.
ALB Digital Service Insurance policies

Enhancements
Improved consumer expertise with RDE Behaviors
The assets and knowledge sources vcd_rde_interface_behavior and vcd_rde_type_behavior had the execution argument, which solely supported key-value mappings to outline conduct executions. This launch provides a brand new argument, execution_json, that enables to outline extra complicated conduct executions by offering a posh JSON string with the specification:
useful resource “vcd_rde_interface_behavior” “conduct” {
rde_interface_id = vcd_rde_interface.my_interface.id
identify = “MyBehavior”
# ‘execution_json’ permits to make use of complicated buildings that aren’t potential with an everyday
# ‘execution’ map, like a nested “execution_properties” in a webhook conduct:
execution_json = jsonencode({
“sort” : “WebHook”,
“id” : “testWebHook”,
“href” : “https://hooks.slack.com:443/companies/T07UZFN0N/B01EW5NC42D/rfjhHCGIwzuzQFrpPZiuLkIX”,
“_internal_key” : “secretKey”,
“execution_properties” : {
“template” : {
“content material” : “<template_content_string>”
},
“_secure_token” : “secureToken”,
“invocation_timeout” : 7
}
})
}
Notice that the argument execution can nonetheless be used for less complicated definitions. Additionally, the vcd_rde_behavior_invocation knowledge supply permits to make use of JSON arguments as effectively:
knowledge “vcd_rde_behavior_invocation” “invoke” {
rde_id = vcd_rde.rde.id
behavior_id = vcd_rde_interface_behavior.conduct.id
invoke_on_refresh = true
arguments_json = jsonencode({
“template” : {
“content material” : “whats up world”
},
“_secure_token” : “secureToken”,
“invocation_timeout” : 7
})
}
