Creates and manages Cross Connections between virtual datacenters.
Manages a Cross Connect on IonosCloud. Cross Connect allows you to connect virtual data centers (VDC) with each other using a private LAN. The VDCs to be connected need to belong to the same IONOS Cloud contract and location. You can only use private LANs for a Cross Connect connection. A LAN can only be a part of one Cross Connect.
The IP addresses of the NICs used for the Cross Connect connection may not be used in more than one NIC and they need to belong to the same IP range.
To connect two datacenters we need 2 lans defined, one in each datacenter. After, we reference the cross-connect through which we want the connection to be established.
The following arguments are supported:
name - (Required)[string] The name of the cross-connection.
description - (Optional)[string] A short description for the cross-connection.
connectable datacenters - (Computed) A list containing all the connectable datacenters
id - The UUID of the connectable datacenter
name - The name of the connectable datacenter
location - The physical location of the connectable datacenter
peers - (Computed) Lists LAN's joined to this cross connect
lan_id - The id of the cross-connected LAN
lan_name - The name of the cross-connected LAN
datacenter_id - The id of the cross-connected datacenter
datacenter_name - The name of the cross-connected datacenter
location - The location of the cross-connected datacenter
A Cross Connect resource can be imported using its resource id, e.g.
This can be helpful when you want to import cross-connects which you have already created manually or using other means, outside of terraform.
