IONOS Cloud Tools Overview

Config Management Tools allow you to automate the management of your VDC and the surrounding infrastructure.

DevOps teams apply these infrastructure automation principles by leveraging common cloud libraries, SDKs, and APIs. DevOps teams benefit from infrastructure as code for better scalability, monitoring and efficiency.

The following third-party tools are supported:

Terraform

The IONOS provider for Terraform is used to interact with the cloud computing and storage resources provided by IONOS Cloud. Before you begin, you must subscribe to an IONOS account. The credentials you create during sign-up will be used to authenticate against the Cloud API.

Terraform currently supports our latest V5 and v6 offering.
