This topic describes how to create a virtual private cloud (VPC) firewall for an Enterprise Edition transit router of a Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance by using Terraform.
You can run the sample code in this topic with a few clicks. For more information, visit Terraform Explorer.
Before you begin
An Alibaba Cloud account has all permissions on resources within the account. If an Alibaba Cloud account is leaked, the resources are exposed to major risks. We recommend that you use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user and create an AccessKey pair for the RAM user. For more information, see Create a RAM user and Create an AccessKey pair.
The following sample code describes how to attach the AliyunBSSFullAccess policy and grant the required permissions on Cloud Firewall to a RAM user.
The AliyunBSSFullAccess policy grants all permissions on the Alibaba Cloud Transactions and Bills Management OpenAPI (BSS OpenAPI). For more information, see Grant permissions to RAM users.
{ "Version": "1", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "yundun-cloudfirewall:CreateVpcFirewallCenConfigure", "yundun-cloudfirewall:CreateVpcFirewallCenManualConfigure", "yundun-cloudfirewall:ModifyVpcFirewallCenConfigure", "yundun-cloudfirewall:ModifyVpcFirewallCenSwitchStatus", "yundun-cloudfirewall:DeleteVpcFirewallCenConfigure", "yundun-cloudfirewall:DescribeVpcFirewallCenDetail", "yundun-cloudfirewall:DescribeVpcFirewallCenList" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "bssapi:*", "bss:*" ], "Resource": "*" } ] }Prepare the Terraform environment. You can use one of the following methods to use Terraform:
Use Terraform in Terraform Explorer: Alibaba Cloud provides Terraform Explorer, an online runtime environment for Terraform. You can use Terraform after you log on to Terraform Explorer without the need to install Terraform. For more information, see Use Terraform in Terraform Explorer. This method is suitable for scenarios in which you want to use and debug Terraform in a fast and convenient manner at no additional cost.
Use Terraform in Cloud Shell: Terraform is preinstalled in Cloud Shell and identity credentials are configured. You can directly run Terraform commands in Cloud Shell. For more information, see Use Terraform in Cloud Shell. This method is suitable for scenarios in which you want to use and debug Terraform in a fast and convenient manner at low cost.
Install and configure Terraform on your on-premises machine: This method is suitable for scenarios in which network conditions are poor or a custom development environment is used. For more information, see Install and configure Terraform in the local PC.
ImportantYou must install Terraform 0.12.28 or later. You can run the
terraform --versioncommand to query the Terraform version.

Create a working directory and a configuration file named
main.tfin the directory. main.tf: This file is the main file of Terraform and defines the resources that you want to deploy.variable "name" { default = "terraform-example" } provider "alicloud" { region = "cn-hangzhou" } variable "description" { default = "Created by Terraform" } variable "firewall_name" { default = "tf-example" } variable "tr_attachment_master_cidr" { default = "192.168.3.192/26" } variable "firewall_subnet_cidr" { default = "192.168.3.0/25" } variable "region" { default = "cn-hangzhou" } variable "tr_attachment_slave_cidr" { default = "192.168.3.128/26" } variable "firewall_vpc_cidr" { default = "192.168.3.0/24" } variable "zone1" { default = "cn-hangzhou-h" } variable "firewall_name_update" { default = "tf-example-1" } variable "zone2" { default = "cn-hangzhou-i" } data "alicloud_cen_transit_router_available_resources" "default" { } data "alicloud_zones" "default" { available_resource_creation = "VSwitch" } resource "alicloud_cen_instance" "cen" { description = "terraform example" cen_instance_name = var.name } resource "alicloud_cen_transit_router" "tr" { transit_router_name = var.name transit_router_description = "tr-created-by-terraform" cen_id = alicloud_cen_instance.cen.id } resource "alicloud_vpc" "vpc1" { description = "created by terraform" cidr_block = "192.168.1.0/24" vpc_name = var.name } resource "alicloud_vswitch" "vpc1vsw1" { cidr_block = "192.168.1.0/25" vswitch_name = var.name vpc_id = alicloud_vpc.vpc1.id zone_id = data.alicloud_cen_transit_router_available_resources.default.resources[0].master_zones[1] } resource "alicloud_vswitch" "vpc1vsw2" { vpc_id = alicloud_vpc.vpc1.id cidr_block = "192.168.1.128/26" vswitch_name = var.name zone_id = data.alicloud_cen_transit_router_available_resources.default.resources[0].master_zones[2] } resource "alicloud_route_table" "foo" { vpc_id = alicloud_vpc.vpc1.id route_table_name = var.name description = var.name } resource "alicloud_cen_transit_router_vpc_attachment" "tr-vpc1" { zone_mappings { vswitch_id = alicloud_vswitch.vpc1vsw1.id zone_id = data.alicloud_cen_transit_router_available_resources.default.resources[0].master_zones[1] } zone_mappings { zone_id = data.alicloud_cen_transit_router_available_resources.default.resources[0].master_zones[2] vswitch_id = alicloud_vswitch.vpc1vsw2.id } vpc_id = alicloud_vpc.vpc1.id cen_id = alicloud_cen_instance.cen.id transit_router_id = alicloud_cen_transit_router.tr.transit_router_id depends_on = [alicloud_route_table.foo] } resource "time_sleep" "wait_10_minutes" { depends_on = [alicloud_cen_transit_router_vpc_attachment.tr-vpc1] create_duration = "10m" } resource "alicloud_cloud_firewall_vpc_cen_tr_firewall" "default" { cen_id = alicloud_cen_transit_router_vpc_attachment.tr-vpc1.cen_id firewall_name = var.name firewall_subnet_cidr = var.firewall_subnet_cidr tr_attachment_slave_cidr = var.tr_attachment_slave_cidr firewall_description = "VpcCenTrFirewall created by terraform" region_no = var.region tr_attachment_master_cidr = var.tr_attachment_master_cidr firewall_vpc_cidr = var.firewall_vpc_cidr transit_router_id = alicloud_cen_transit_router.tr.transit_router_id route_mode = "managed" depends_on = [time_sleep.wait_10_minutes] }Run the following command to initialize
Terraform:terraform initIf the following information is returned, Terraform is initialized:
Initializing the backend... Initializing provider plugins... - Checking for available provider plugins... - Downloading plugin for provider "time" (hashicorp/time) 0.12.1... - Downloading plugin for provider "alicloud" (hashicorp/alicloud) 1.238.0... The following providers do not have any version constraints in configuration, so the latest version was installed. To prevent automatic upgrades to new major versions that may contain breaking changes, it is recommended to add version = "..." constraints to the corresponding provider blocks in configuration, with the constraint strings suggested below. * provider.alicloud: version = "~> 1.238" * provider.time: version = "~> 0.12" Warning: registry.terraform.io: For users on Terraform 0.13 or greater, this provider has moved to aliyun/alicloud. Please update your source in required_providers. Terraform has been successfully initialized! You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands should now work. If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform, rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.Create an execution plan and preview the changes.
terraform planRun the following command to create the VPC firewall:
terraform applyDuring the execution, enter
yesas prompted and press the Enter key. Wait until the command is successfully executed. If the following information appears, the operation is successful:NoteIf no VPC firewall is created for the transit router specified in the
main.tffile, the system creates a VPC firewall based on the file. If a VPC firewall is already created for the transit router, the system modifies the configurations of the VPC firewall based on the file.
