Example Usage

This is an example of a main.tf file that would use the "github.com/global-vmware/vcd_vm" Module Source to deploy Virtual Machines into an existing VCD Environment.

The Terraform code example for the main.tf file is below:

module "vcd_vm" {
  source                            = "github.com/global-vmware/vcd_vm.git?ref=v2.2.0"

    },
    {
      key         = "Server Role"
      value       = "Web Server"
      type        = "MetadataStringValue"
      user_access = "READWRITE"
      is_system   = false
    },

    },
    {
    type                  = "org"
    adapter_type          = "VMXNET3"
    name                  = "US1-Segment-02"
