How to use Spotinst & Terraform
In this post, we will explain how to create a cost-efficient Auto-Scaling in AWS using Spotinst Terraform plugin.
Install Terraform
Get the latest Terraform build, and make sure you have the Spotinst provider installed there
Connect Spotinst as a Provider
provider "spotinst" {
token = "spotinst-token" #genereate in the Spotinst Console / API
account = "act-123abcd" #your spotinst account ID (starts with act-)
}
resource "spotinst_elastigroup_aws" "spot-elastigroup-tf-provider-v2" {
# Group Parameters
# Full list of parameters here ; https://help.spot.io/integration-docs/elastigroup/provisioning-tools/terraform/resources/terraform-v-2/elastigroup/
}For more detailed info about each property – please use the documentation.
Once you have everything setup correctly, you can execute your Terraform file and apply the changes. It should trigger an API call to Spotinst, and create an Elatigroup.
