The STACKIT provider is the official Terraform provider to integrate all the resources developed by STACKIT.

Authentication

Before you can start using the client, you will need to create a STACKIT Service Account in your project and assign it the appropriate permissions (i.e. project.owner).

After the service account has been created, you can authenticate to the client using the Token flow.

Token flow

There are multiple ways to provide the token to the Terraform provider:

• Pass it to the provider directly:

provider "stackit" {
   service_account_token = "[TOKEN]"
}

• Set it in an environment variable:

export STACKIT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN="[TOKEN]"

• Create a file ~/.stackit/credentials.json with the content:

{
	"STACKIT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN": "[TOKEN]"
}

To read from another location, either pass the file path to the provider using the variable credentials_path, or set the environment variable STACKIT_CREDENTIALS_PATH as the file path.
