8.5 Automate VM Model Creation with Terraform Templates

Cloud Manager supports Terraform integration, enabling you to define and deploy your own VM models. Using Terraform templates, administrators can script blueprint creation—specifying VM OS, roles, networking, and other configurations—in a repeatable, version-controlled manner.

This Infrastructure-as-Code approach empowers teams to:

• Automate the model creation process

• Ensure consistency across deployments

• Easily track changes in source control repositories

• Scale environments predictably and efficiently

By embedding model definition into your Terraform templates, you gain full control over versioning, audibility, and deployment workflows—greatly enhancing infrastructure reliability.
