In this tutorial, we guide you through creating a Terraform script for BTP (Business Technology Platform). The script focuses on setting up two directories and five sub-accounts, following specific naming conventions and a landscape setup explained in earlier sessions. Key steps include defining resources for directories and sub-accounts, assigning unique identifiers, and linking sub-accounts to their respective directories. We also explain how to configure environment-specific sub-accounts, including development, acceptance, and production, and provide insights into using Terraform's provider documentation for further customization.
Takeaways
- The script demonstrates how to create a Terraform configuration for SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
- The configuration involves creating two directories and five sub-accounts, in line with the naming conventions discussed in an earlier session.
- The script starts with the creation of directories in BTP, defining them as resources with unique identifiers.
- The directories are named according to a specific convention: <sequence nr> - <name> (<dir acronym>)
1 – Administration (ADM)
2 – Applications (APP)
3 – Database (DB)
- Each sub-account is assigned a unique name following the naming conventions: : <sequence nr DIR><sequence nr SA> - <DIR acronym> - <stage name>
- The region specified for the trial account is US10, but this can be adjusted depending on the actual account region.
- Beta features can be enabled, though the account is not intended for production usage.
- The parent ID is used to link each sub-account to the respective directory (either administration or application directory).
- The script includes the creation of both administration and application sub-accounts with varying environments: development, acceptance, and production.
