Providers, datacenters and server types

This guide will list the available options for provider_name, datacenter and server_type variables when you want to manage a service resource with terraform :

resource "elestio_vault" "my_vault" {
  ...
  provider_name = "hetzner"
  datacenter    = "fsn1"
  server_type   = "SMALL-1C-2G"
  ...
}

As this information can be updated often, we cannot put a fixed list in this documentation.

You will learn how to get this information from the Elestio website.

Listing all options

When you create a service via the website, all three pieces of information (providers, datacenters and server types) are listed on a single page.

2. Click on the button Create a new service (or Deploy my first service).

3. Select one of the services (the choice does not matter)

4. You arrive on this page :

Providers

For each of the providers, here are the values to pass to terraform provider_name:

- Vultr Cloud : vultr

- Hetzner Cloud : hetzner

- Digital Ocean : do

- Amazon Lightsail : lightsail

- Linode Cloud : linode

- BYOVM : byovm

- Amazon EC2 : aws

Datacenters

You can pass datacenter variable in as it is written on the site.

For exemple: fsn1 (Hetzner) or eu-central-1 (Amazon Lightsail).

Server types

You can pass server_type variable in as it is written on the site. For exemple: SMALL-1C-2G (Hetzner) or MICRO-1C-1G (Amazon Lightsail).

Note that after creating a service, you can only modify a server type with a more powerful one. Downgrade is not allowed.

Exemple

If I want to host my service on Amazon Lightsail in Ireland (Dublin) with a 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 2 TB Bandwith plan :

resource "elestio_vault" "my_vault" {
  ...
  provider_name = "lightsail"
  datacenter    = "eu-west-1"
  server_type   = "MICRO-1C-1G"
  ...
}
