Terraform ICP IBM Cloud

We have a collection of templates that can stand up a ICP environment in IBMCloud Infrastructure with minimal input.

Selecting the right template

We currently have three templates available

icp-ce-minimal
- This template will deploy ICP Community Edition with a minimal amount of Virtual Machines and a minimal amount of services enabled
- Additional ICP services such as logging, monitoring and istio can be enabled as well as dedicated management nodes can be added with minor configuration changes
- This template is suitable for a quick view of basic ICP and Kubernetes functionality, and simple PoCs and verifications
icp-ce-with-loadbalancers
- Like the icp-ce-minimal template, this will deploy a minimal environment, but in this template Loadbalancers will also be created. This creates a topology more similar to the icp-ee environment, where external loadbalancers are a central part of the network design, but with less services and resources active
- This template is suitable for validation tests and PoCs where external loadbalancer functionality is required
icp-ee
- This template deploys a more robust environment, with control plane in a high availabilty configuration
- By default a separate boot node is provisioned and all SSH communication goes through this
- This configuration requires access to ICP Enterprise Edition, typically supplied as a tarball
