Edge Security Acceleration:Use Terraform to create plans,sites,and add DNS records

Define provider and Terraform version

First, create a configuration file named providers.tf. Then, copy the following code into the configuration file to centrally manage all provider configurations and version constraints.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    alicloud = {
      source  = "aliyun/alicloud"
      version = "1.266.0"
      region = "ap-southeast-1"
    }
  }
}

Define Resource Variables

To improve code reusability, you can declare input variables and local variables. Create a configuration file named variables.tf, and copy the following code into the configuration file.

# The connection type of the site. Valid values are CNAME and NS.
variable "site_type" {
  default = "NS"
}
# The billing method. The valid value is Subscription. Other values are not supported.
variable "payment_type" {
  default = "Subscription"
}
# The area where the endpoint is deployed. Valid values are:
# domestic (the Chinese mainland), overseas (global excluding the Chinese mainland), global (global)
variable "coverage_name" {
  default = "overseas"
}
# Specifies whether to enable auto-renewal.
variable "auto_pay" {
  default = "true"
}
# The valid package names are:
# entranceplan_intl (Entrance Edition), basicplan_intl (Pro Edition), vipplan_intl (Premium Edition)
variable "plan_name" {
  default = "entranceplan_intl"
}
# The site name. Replace it with your domain name.
variable "site_name" {
  default = "aliyundoc.com"
}
# The origin value, which is your Origin Domain Name.
variable "record_value" {
  default = "www.example.com"
}
# The origin port, which is the port number of your origin.
variable "record_port" {
  default = "80"
}
# The DNS record value, which is the accelerated domain name.
variable "record_name" {
  default = "_udp._sip.aliyundoc.com"
}
# The DNS record type.
variable "record_type" {
  default = "SRV"
}

Define resources

Finally, create a configuration file named main.tf and copy the following code into it. This file serves as the main entry for all resource declarations.

# Create a package
resource "alicloud_esa_rate_plan_instance" "my_plan" {
  type         = var.site_type
  auto_renew   = "false"
  period       = "1"
  payment_type = var.payment_type
  coverage     = var.coverage_name
  auto_pay     = var.auto_pay
  plan_name    = var.plan_name
}

# Create a site
resource "alicloud_esa_site" "my_site" {
  site_name   = var.site_name
  instance_id = alicloud_esa_rate_plan_instance.my_plan.id
  coverage    = var.coverage_name
  access_type = var.site_type
}

# Add a DNS record
resource "alicloud_esa_record" "my_record" {
  data {
    value    = var.record_value
    weight   = "1"
    priority = "1"
    port     = var.record_port
  }

  ttl         = "100"
  record_name = var.record_name
  comment     = "This is a remark"
  site_id     = alicloud_esa_site.my_site.id
  record_type = var.record_type
}
