Quick start

1. Install Terraform from the official VK Cloud mirror.

2. Open your VK CLoud personal account.

3. Enable two-factor authentication and API access, if not enabled yet.

4. Click on your login at the top of the page, select Project settings from the drop-down menu.

5. Go to the Terraform tab. Download the main Terraform config and the Terraform mirror config files by clicking on the corresponding buttons.

   Files named vkcs_provider.tf and terraform.rc will be downloaded.

6. Perform the following actions with the files:

   Windows

   Other OS

   1. Paste %APPDATA% into the address bar of Windows Explorer and copy the terraform.rc file to the directory that opens.

   2. Copy the vkcs_provider.tf file into the working directory from which you are going to work with the platform.

      Typically a separate working directory is created for each VK Cloud project.

In the directory from which you are going to work with the project, run the command:

terraform init

Supplementary files necessary for working with Terraform will be created.

1. Create a configuration of resources in the working directory — for example, a configuration for creating a virtual machine.

2. Run the command:

   terraform apply
   

   Confirm the creation by typing yes in the terminal window.

3. Wait until the operation is completed.

The created resources will be available in your personal account.
