Use of yaml file inside terraform

Terraform
1

Hi All,

I am new in terraform and currently trying to use it to configure Okta networks.

I have a YAML file that consists of gateways, proxies, and IPs, I want my tf file to read the network.yaml and set all the values given inside network.yaml in okta network.

I want to know how can i refer a YAML file or text file from tf file.

Let me know if this requires more details.

Thanks for help

You can use the file and yamldecode functions together to read a YAML file into a local variable.

Hi Stuart,

I have yaml file with below format

---
kind: Zone
apiVersion: v1alpha1
metadata:
  name: first
spec:
  type: IP
  # defaults to usage: POLICY
  # usage: POLICY
  gateways:
  - 0.0.0.0/16
  proxies:
  - 0.0.0.0/16
  - 0.0.0.0

and my tf code is

locals {
zones = lookup(yamldecode(file("./base_network.yaml")), "Zone", {})
}
resource "okta_network_zone" "zones" {
  for_each          = local.zones
  name              = each.value.name
  type              = lookup(each.value, "type", null)
  usage             = lookup(each.value, "usage", null)
  gateways          = lookup(each.value, "gateways", null)
  proxies           = lookup(each.value, "proxies", null)
  dynamic_locations = lookup(each.value, "dynamicLocations", null)
}

its giving me “This character is not used withing the language” any idea how can i use it to set networks zone in okta.
