• Initial Setup
• Proposing PR's
• Release

• Terraform > 0.12.x
• Go > Go version specified in go.mod
  • Correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

First clone source repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/draios/terraform-provider-sysdig

$ git clone [email protected]:draios/terraform-provider-sysdig
$ cd terraform-provider-sysdig
$ make build

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-sysdig
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

If you want to execute the acceptance tests, you can run make testacc.

• Follow Terraform acceptance test guideliness
• Please note that you need a token for Sysdig Monitor and another one for Sysdig Secure, and since the acceptance tests create real infrastructure you should execute them in an environment where you can remove the resources easily.
• Acceptance tests are launched in Sysdig production +kubelab test environment

$ make testacc

To use the local provider you just built, follow the instructions to install it as a plugin. in your machine with:

$ make install

That will add the provider to the terraform plugins dir. Then just set source and version values appropriately:

provider "aws" {
  region = my_region
}

terraform {
  required_providers {
    sysdig = {
      source = "local/sysdiglabs/sysdig"
      version = "~> 1.0.0"
    }
  }
}

To uninstall the plugin:

$ make uninstall

TL;DR;

• Create the resource/data source item
• Add the created item into the provider.go resource or datasource map with its wiring
• With its acceptance test
• Add its documentation page on ./website/docs/

Interesting resources

• https://www.terraform.io/plugin
• https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/testing-hashicorp-terraform

• if it's your first time, validate you're taking into account every aspect of the ./github/pull_request_template

• on pull-requests some validations are enforced.

  • Defined in /.pre-commit-config.yaml
  • You can work on this before even pushing to remote, using pre-commit plugin

• for the PR title use conventional commit format so when the branch is squashed to main branch it follows a convention

• for Acceptance Tests testacc some credentials are required, check /.envrc.template

To create a new release, create and push a new tag, and it will be released following /. github/workflows/release.yml.

• Before releasing check the diff between previous tag and master branch, to spot major changes
• For tag, use semver
• Review Released Draft Note, and make it as clear as possible.
• Notify Sysdig teams on our internal #release-announcements slack channel and optionally in #terraform-provider
